Housewife Quick Cleaning Tips #PGmom { CAN 05/24 Giveaway }
I have been a housewife (AKA – Stay At Home Mom) on and off for over 7 years now, a career I choose, a dream I had, a dream I am now living. I know each day is a blessing that I am home with my children, but along with the fun and games comes a whole lotta chores. Someday’s I feel like I am following 3 little tornado’s around the house. Not to mention the 5 + times, I am in the kitchen preparing snacks and meals all day long.
There is very little down time, most days I forget to eat. The fantasies of us housewives watching soaps all day and eating chocolate, are just that fantasies. Although times may of change because I remember seeing Soaps on my mother’s T.V as a child. The one thing that hasn’t changed in my mind is the desire to have a clean and tidy house when my husband walks in the door. This is something I have always tried to do, not because it is required but because I feel it is what I have to give to him. Someday’s are successful and other’s the tornado still shows signs of where they hit. Along the way I have picked up a few little secret’s from housewife to housewife I am willing to share.
Let those little tornado’s run, swirl and play. Let them explore the in’s and outs of the home they share. At the end of the day about an hour before daddy is due to come home, put on your fancy little maid outfit rubber gloves, give the kids some motivation and have a clean up parade.
We start young giving our children independence and ownership of our family. It takes a whole family to run a home. Although this isn’t the sight each and everyday in our home. It is very important in our eyes to teach the children what it takes to support each-other’s roles in our home. The hard work mommy and daddy put in to each-day to make it a success for our family. The surprising secret here is our kids actually get excited to help with chores, they ask to help, they now take ownership and pride in our home and willing go off to led the parade. Even our 21 month old has ownership of his home and has made the Swiffer this best friend.
Another housewife secret I am excited to share is the scent of clean. Have you ever walked into a house or business and smelled cleaners thinking to yourself “WOW they must have just cleaned?” Yes well you don’t have to scrub all day to get the clean scent you are looking for. I was so excited to see my favorite laundry scent has finally been infused in my everyday products. It is so clean smelling, fresh and a little goes a long way. P&G has added a line-up of Gain scented products, which has everyone’s nose pleased, hubby smiling and mama giggling.
Did you know? Swiffer cloths are made in Canada at Brockville, Ontario. Which also have been infused with the fresh scent of Gain.

I love my Swiffer Westjet and use it the most but the magic erasers are also a blessing!

I use the swiffer wet jet all the time. I have 3 big dogs that are in and out of the house all day and my floors get pretty dirty.
I use the magic eraser the most,it get scuffs off linoleum and stains off walls that nothing else seems to work on
I have used previous versions of several of these cleaning products and am excited to try these new models. I particularly want to try the new Swiffer WetJet . With four kids, 2 cats and a husband who continually forgets to take his shoes/boots off, we need it!
I use Gain because I LOOOOVE the smell of it! But I would like to try the other products too, especially the wet jet!
I spend at most an hour a day on making everything around clean and tidy, It gives feel of comfortable. Giving your room a quick tidy up every day will not take very long to clean as there will not be as much to do.

The Mr. Clean Magic Erasers because they do wonders on the scruff marks on our door frames.
Someone once pointed out to me the major problem with being a stay at home mom with small kids is that the more hours you spend IN the home the messier it gets! Sure mom’s that work outside of the home may have less hours to devote to chores, but they and their petite tornadoes also create less mess, or at least create some of it somewhere else.
The Mr. clean Magic eraser , I have 2 toddlers who loves to color walls! 🙂
The Swiffer Sweeper with Gain Dry Refills, My entire house is either hardwood flooring or tile!
