Spring Cleaning Tips to Make Life Easier

April 12, 2017 By Debra Pearlstein 18 Comments

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Lysol®, Finish®, Woolite®, and Air Wick®. The opinions and text are all mine.

Winter brought warm soups and stews, comfy pajamas, and cuddling on the couch with hot tea and a good tv binge. But, as spring blooms and the weather warms, I also emerge. Outside, the world feels clean and refreshed which inspires me to bring that sense of renewal into my home. Since spring cleaning can seem overwhelming, I’m here to offer some tips!

To-do-Lists: I find writing things down is half the battle! Getting it out of my head and onto paper makes me feel freer.

Break It Down: Break down your cleaning into manageable amounts. No one says spring cleaning can’t be spread out.

Declutter: A general de-cluttering is a great place to start and clears out your mind as well. The more I simplify, the more energy I seem to have.

Organize: Keep what you need. Toss what you don’t. Have a special bin for things to donate.

As far as rooms go, I love to start in my kitchen. A clean kitchen inspires my creativity and I love making light spring salads and soups, and fresh fruity iced teas.

Start with your fridge. It tends to get cluttered easily and may even be the source of some unidentifiable smells! Take out all the food and drinks so you can really get in there. I take out shelves and drawers and clean with Lysol Lemon Breeze All-purpose Cleaner Spray, then soak in warm water and rinse. I then wipe the inside with the lemon spray which clears out germy stains and odors, then use a warm wet cloth to rinse. I love the fresh lemon scent, and it’s so easy to find all the Lysol products I need at Target.

Replace the food that’s good and toss out the questionable. Remember, fresh start!

Clean out your cabinets. Give them a good wash and replace any liners. Get rid of anything old and re-organize!

Don’t forget the kitchen trash bin. Lysol Kitchen Pro Antibacterial Cleaner kills 99.9% of harmful kitchen bacteria without the harsh chemical residue other cleaners leave behind.

I also use Lysol for my bathroom. I start with the toilet because it’s my least favorite job, but I’ve found that Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner is great on even the toughest toilet rings. It destroys ugly stains and cleans as it disinfects without taking much time at all!

For everyday hands-free freshening, I use Lysol Click Gel. Simply insert an automatic cleaning gel to clean with every flush.

I also love using Air Wick Scented Oil Warmers which work for any room up to 124 sq ft. A spicy or gourmet scent can make large rooms feel warm and cozy, while fresh, floral or fruity can make small spaces feel more airy.

How to Shop and Save on Cyber Monday – Tips for the Intrepid Online Shopper!

November 25, 2013 By Debra Pearlstein 2 Comments

Cyber Monday falls on the first Monday after Thanksgiving which means it will be Monday, December 2, this year.  This is a day that many online retailers offer special deals and discounts to customers.

It is akin to Black Friday which takes place at brick and mortar stores the day after Thanksgiving, However, since I hate shopping on Black Friday, I’m thrilled when Cyber Monday comes around.

For one thing, I detest the crowds. I remember one Black Friday getting up before dawn to buy toys. Never again! We froze our toes off!

I’ve also found that the online deals are just as good, if not better, on Cyber Monday and I can surf the net in my pj’s with a warm cup of cocoa. Now, that’s shopping!

Here are some ideas to help maximize your success on Cyber Monday!

1) Get enough sleep beforehand so that you are ready when any odd hour sales pop up! A lot of great sales start at midnight and often sell out early.

2) Have dinner that you can order in or just pop in the oven for the family so you have more time!
3) Find a useful site to help you track the deals and stay on top of all the Cyber Monday sales.
4) Check out Coupons.com coupon codes!
5)  Look for deals where the sites offer free shipping. Often that can make a real difference.
6)  Have a list ready of those you are buying for and desired gifts. Although it’s fun to shop spontaneously as well, being prepared makes sure you don’t miss anyone or anything.
7) Do a bit of research beforehand. For example, if you’re looking for a laptop, find the ones that are most recommended and the best value. Get an idea of prices so that you will know if you’re really getting a good deal. Read reviews and talk to friends before Cyber Monday.
8) Shop safely. If you can, shop from home and don’t use public internet wi-fi, especially if you’re inputting sensitive information. I always personally feel better shopping from retailers that are established as well as those that take safety precautions.

9) Look for a https when you’re shopping on a retail site. This indicates that the site is secure and the information is encrypted.
10) Don’t stress! That defeats the whole purpose of Cyber Monday! Instead, be prepared and even if you miss a deal, know that there will be another one.
