It is no secret I don’t like to clean. I posted on Facebook
a couple weeks ago, if money were no object what kind of staff would you have?
You can bet housekeeper was in there. I also wanted someone to do my dishes and
someone else to wash my hair. I think it feels really good when someone else
washes my hair. Unfortunately, money is something I don’t have a ton of, so I
have to clean my own house, do my own dishes and wash my own hair. Thankfully, there are products like Mr. Clean
Liquid Muscle that help make the job easier. The new Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle multi-purpose,
multi-surface cleaner has 2.5* times more power in every drop, delivering
superior cleaning performance in a compact bottle. Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle’s concentrated gel
formula serves all of your cleaning needs, on and off the floor. It penetrates
dirt easier, fights grease tougher, and lifts stains faster, while the
specially designed cap ensures no drop goes to waste.
How it works:
Apply Mr. Clean Liquid
Muscle directly for quick and easy removal of tough stains from hard surfaces
such as:
• Tables
• Countertops
• Sinks
• Stoves
• Floors
Dilute Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle in water for more general floor and
surface cleaning, with no need for rinsing. The unique auto-stop cap delivers
the right amount, every time.
Mr. Clean launched this new product on January 1st, in
Times Square. Everyone knows about the huge New Year’s Eve party at Times
Square, but who has to clean it up? I bet it is a huge mess Julie Edelman aka
the The Accidental Housewife was on hand to provide tips and tricks, cleaning
alongside our Mr. Clean Team to get it done. It looks like it was a fun time. With the new
Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle as the star of the event, the Mr. Clean Team will
really light up Times Square with their theatrics, making the steps of Duffy
Square cleaner than they’ve
ever been.

has some great tips for 2014.
The Top Ten: Tips to Save Time, Money and Your Sanity
in 2014
1.
TACKLE HIGH TRAFFIC ZONES FIRST: Divide your home into MUST DO and CAN DO LATER
zones. The must do’s are bathrooms, kitchen and bedrooms which are
bacteria, allergy (dust mites) and germ magnets AND should be cleaned
regularly. Can do later zones are areas such as family rooms, guest
bedrooms, and hallways.
2. MAINTAIN YOUR SANITY, START
SMALL: As Oscar Wilde said “Man (and woman!) was made for something better then
disturbing dirt.” So put cleaning your home in perspective and don’t allow
yourself to get overwhelmed. Start with the smallest room in your home, and
work your way to the largest room in order to streamline your cleaning process.
3.
SPREAD OUT CHORES THAT BORE: Once you’ve tidied up, make a weekly TAH–DO LIST J
(as in The Accidental Housewife!) to keep
rooms clean enough. If you follow up on little cleaning projects each week,
you’ll be able to maintain a healthy and squeaky clean home, and manicures, all
year long.
4. BLEND CHORES THAT BORE INTO
EVERYDAY ACIVITIES: Housework can be boring, so staying focused while doing it
can be a chore. ‘Blend’ i.e. ‘work’ tasks into everyday activities and
routines. Next time you’re chatting on the phone with your BF or mom, chat
while cleaning countertops, door handles and sinks.
5.
SAVE YOUR NRG: Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle can handle anything, especially if
it can clean up Times Square after New Year’s Eve! Save your elbow grease and
simply squirt a drop of the powerful new formula onto countertops, appliances
and more to clean up after your own New Year’s Eve party.
6. STREAMLINE YOUR CLEANING
TOOLS WITH MULTI-TASKERS: There’s no need to have countless cleaning products
clogging cabinets. Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle can be used directly on tough
dirt or used as a dilute to handle big or small messes on hard surfaces such as
tables, countertops, sinks, stoves and even floors.
7. TAKE THE GUESS WORK OUT OF
‘HOW MUCH’: Thanks to its innovative one-dose cap, Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle delivers
the perfect amount of cleaning gel with every squeeze – that can be applied
directly to surfaces or diluted in water as a cleaning solution. Similar to
tasks like dishwashing and laundry, buy single, pre-measured packets. This will
certainly help you prevent wasting product and in the end, also save you money!
8. DANCE WITH DUST BUNNIES: No
one said that you have to make cleaning a chore, so put on those headphones or
crank up the music and dance with your vacuum as you suck up those dust bunnies
or wash your floor! It will also turn your cleaning routines into a workout, so
you’ll be multi-tasking once again—cleaning and toning your bod!
9. ENLIST PINT-SIZED HELPERS:
If you have young kids, they are perfect for helping with kid-friendly
home-keeping chores like vacuuming and laundry. If you don’t have any children,
I’m sure friends and family who do will be happy to lend out theirs so they can
enjoy an hour or two of free time!
10. GIVE YOURSELF AN i.O.ME!
Don’t wait for your birthday or Mother’s Day. Give yourself a ‘me day’ or at
least a few ‘me’ hours. You’ll be amazed how it will give you a new perspective
on that next load of laundry waiting for you!
I wish everyone a Happy,
Healthy and Clean New Year!
