Clorox Spin Dry Mop Review & Giveaway {Hello Spring Giveaway Hop}

It's time for spring cleaning! What's the most challenging part to clean in your home? For me, it's the floor. As we've got a mix of laminate and tile flooring, it takes more than a vacuum to get the job done. The Clorox Spin Dry Mop from Butler helps me tackle tough stains on our floor with ease and speed!

Unlike the old spin mop we had, Clorox Spin Dry Mop eliminates the need for foot pumps, which are noisy and tiresome to use, inefficient, and prone to breakage. It utilizes an exclusive Spin Drive™ Technology to help users get their desired level of dampness by simply moving the handle up and down. So there is no need for twisting, squeezing or wringing either. My boys find it really fun to dry the mop. It gives them one good reason to help with household chores.

The mop head is made with dual material for effortless spinning. It pivots 180 degrees to reach hard-to-clean spots. It also includes a center pad for scrubbing tough stains. The micofiber material cleans well without leaving any streak or lint on the floor. The Clorox Spin Dry Mop is lightweight, comfortable to maneuver, durable, and can be used over and over again for a variety of floors - tile, marble, hard wood, laminate and more. When not in use, it can detach into two pieces that fit nicely in the included bucket for compact storage. It retails for just $29.99.

Clorox ToiletWand System Review & Bathroom Essentials Prize Pack Giveaway!

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats to winner Amber!~~

I can hardly wait to tell you about the latest addition to my collection of fairy wands--Clorox ToiletWand--a unique, innovative new product that came out right in time for spring cleaning!

Featuring disposable heads loaded with Clorox cleaner, the Clorox ToiletWand System cleans and disinfects your toilet bowl at the same time. Why is disinfecting so important? Bacteria gets released into the air every time you flush. Plus yucky stuff builds up easily in traditional toilet brushes. the Clorox ToiletWand System solves this problem by killing 99.9% of germs commonly found in toilets while eliminating odor.

The Clorox ToiletWand System just proved to make cleaning my toilet fast and effortless. It was so exciting to see my toilet bowls sparkle after a flick (...well, several flicks, to be more exact) of the wrist with the Wand. This magical transformation can happen to your bathroom in as little as four simple steps! Watch the how-to video below to get an idea of how the system works.






Spring Cleaning is well underway in our home. My favorite strategy and I think many moms would agree is to break down a major task into smaller, more manageable ones. Taking one room or one area of a room at one time is more practical and makes cleaning less of an unpleasant chore. In fact, I love to keep my house neat and tidy. I just wish I had more time to spend on cleaning.

Having the best cleaning tools and products on hand helps save time and effort. Take the Clorox ToiletWand for example. With its sleek design, the flexible cleaning head reaches more surface area in the bowl and under the rim than traditional toilet brushes. The cleaner in the disposable head quickly releases itself into the bowl without the need for a separate spray cleaner. The used head can be tossed in trash can with the push of a button. Your hands stay clean and you no longer have to worry about cleaning the brush itself.

It's also important to mobilize the entire family for spring cleaning. Many hands make light work! Split rooms between you and your spouse (not necessarily evenly) is a good start. If your kids are old enough to clean their own rooms, give them the chance to do so. Encourage younger kids to help with some easy tasks appropriate for their age.

Win a Trip for 2 to Hollywood!

This Valentine's Day, Clorox® Regular-Bleach has launched a new mobile campaign called Get the Dirt, but Keep it Clean, which helps women clean up their own dirt while they enjoy their Hollywood news. Throughout the campaign, Clorox is sharing quick clean-up tips on how to keep fashionable winter whites white, keep flowers fresh longer and host a Hollywood-style party.

Here are examples of helpful tips for Valentine's Day:

• Nothing says “I love you” like roses. Want to enjoy those flowers longer than a celebrity romance? Just add ¼ teaspoon of Clorox® Regular-Bleach to each quart of cold water you put in the vase.
• Got a stain from a heart-shaped chocolate on your favorite whites? It’ll come out in a snap once you add ¾ cup Clorox® Regular-Bleach to the hot water and detergent in your washing machine.

Besides getting more tips, you could win a pampering Hollywood trip for two (a $3500 value!)  by entering Get the Dirt, but Keep it Clean sweepstakes. You may enter daily until 3/11/11. The entry method is quite different from regular sweepstakes. Please make sure you follow the instructions and official rules for your chance to win. Best of luck!

Disclosure: By writing this post, I'm entered to win a prize from One2One Network. The Clorox Company sent me information about the Get the Dirt, but Keep it Clean program not intended to solicit product claims.
