Hey folks – I was shopping at Marshall’s the other day and I noticed a novel little bottle of all-purpose cleaner. It was the same ol’ cleaner you’d find off the shelf anywhere else, except it had some red coloring and was infused with Christmas-scented essential oils. The idea is that for the wintry months, all you had to do to give you home a holiday atmosphere and aroma was to clean your house using your Christmas-scented all purpose cleanears, I almost picked it up, but it cost $10. Plus, …

I think there hasn’t yet been a post on  cleaning tips where I haven’t mentioned using vinegar to clean. That’ s because vinegar has hundreds of cleaning uses. And it tastes great on fish and chips, too. So, if you’re reading The Cleaning Frenzy Blog alone or with friends, why not enjoy a good natured drinking game while you’re at it. The rules:

To remind everyone  coming into my home to remove their pens and pencils from their pockets before sitting on my couch! I don’t care how much an editor spills red ink all over my copy, but for God’s sake, there’s nothing worse than discovering someone has inadvertently scribbled all over your sofa.
