There have been a lot of advances in cleaning products lately. All the stuff made by Swiffer immediately comes to mind. I love my wet jet for quick floor cleaning and I know I wouldn't dust nearly as often as I do now if Swiffer dusters hasn't been invented. What cleaning product has made your life, or a chore you previously hated, much more doable...and maybe even a little enjoyable? ps-If anyone has tried the Swiffer carpet flick, I would love to hear about that. I have been considering buying one for quick clean-ups.

Oh, the joys of the swiffer products. The swiffer wet jet certainly does not replace a good old fashioned mopping, but it has done wonders for basic upkeep and cleaning up sticky spills. Also, it is really nice to not have to carry a mop bucket around. As for products taht have changed my life, I really like the Goo Be Gone. The smell isn't too powerful and it helps with a lot of office clean-ups where people like to tape things to dry-erase boards. Not to mention all the times it's helped me get label and price stickers off of products. It is so much better and faster than having to soak things in hot water. That used to make me so annoyed.

The magic eraser is a wonderful thing. But as far as the *most* lifechanging, I'd have to say Scrubbing bubbles soap scum remover. When I was in college, I didn't realize that there was a specific product used to remove all that nasty buildup in the shower. So I would scrub with 409 for HOURS trying to get that stuff off. (Hey, I was a kid, I didn't know!) Then, I discovered scrubbing bubbles and my life was changed. This stuff just attacks soap scum no problem. And the remover paired with a magic eraser? That scum doesn't stand a chance!

I would have to say the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. I love that little piece of foam or whatever it is. I have taken marks off of walls, scuffs off of linoleum, rust marks off of countertops, stains our of our porcelain sink. You name it, that sponge takes care of the job. I'm hoping they'll come out with a magic eraser that you can use as a mop. That would be so much easier than getting on my hands and knees to scrub the hairspray residue off the bathroom floor.

Oh I totally forgot about the magic eraser. That is another one that is great. It's great for getting the dirt off the white walls of my apartment, and the sticky stuff off the stove. And your mop idea would be heaven. I live in an apartment with old linoleum floors. Not matter what they never look clean. Maybe I should give the magic eraser a shot at it.

The cleaning product that has changed my life recently is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Just the other day my daughter got up before me and decided to get into my permant markers. She took a black one and decided to draw all over her bedroom furniture. I was devestated when I saw what she had done. You see her bedroom furniture has been handed down to her from two generations. It was my moms, then mine. I thought to myself what am I going to do to get this off. So I went to the cabinet and saw that I happen to have a magic eraser. So I wet it and tried it on the furniture. Low and behold it took it right off with out any scrubbing. It literally just dissappeared. I was amazed. So until my kids get past the writing on everything stage I will be keeping plenty of magic erasers around in my house.
