Spring Clean Chemical-Free with HomeRight

The only thing I hate more than cleaning is having a dirty house. Cleaning is not a chore that I love, but it's a necessary part of my day. Now that the days are getting longer and warmer, we are all probably thinking about starting on our spring cleaning checklist. Burning the house down and starting from scratch really does sound appealing, but I'm not sure my insurance company would be too pleased with that plan. So, I started spring cleaning in January, slowly going through each room and weeding out things that we no longer use (yes, I realize January isn't in spring, but by the time I'm done, it will be spring so that counts as spring cleaning in my book). I didn't want to overwhelm myself, so I'd do a closet one day, maybe dressers the next, the pantry a few days later. It did take me about 6 weeks, but I finally cleared the clutter out of our home and feel so much lighter not having so much useless junk laying around anymore. I plan on taking the next month to tackle the nooks and crannies that don't get much attention during my daily cleaning jaunts, and thankfully I have HomeRight to help me clean and sanitize the house without using harsh chemicals to get the job done.

If you know me, you know that I am big on using natural products to clean my home. I hate the way commercial cleaning products leave my home smelling like fake lemons or how I feel like I need to wear a breathing mask just to clean my house because the chemicals make my lungs burn with the fire of a thousand suns. The HomeRight SteamMachine eliminates those issues though. Since you only need water to clean and sanitize your home, HomeRight is the perfect solution for me. Simply fill the tank with water, wait 8 minutes for it to boil in the chamber, then you are ready to steam your way to a clean home. This 3 piece floor cleaning kit has everything you need to clean and disinfect floors, but to maximize the SteamMachine's full cleaning potential, you'll need the SteamMachine Accessories Pack also (must be purchased separately).

 
The extra nozzles and brushes help me tackle almost every cleaning job, big or small. What I have always loved about HomeRight's SteamMachine is the ability to store all of your cleaning accessories right in the hood of the machine. No lost parts or pieces, and they are always within reach when you need them.

I'm now onto the spring cleaning portion of those out of sight out of mind spaces like window sills, sliding door tracks, and jets from the bathtub. I used to look at them and cringe, but not anymore. My SteamMachine puts me in beast mode when it comes to knocking the dirt right out of those spaces. I have 6 sliding doors in my house, and each one is caked with outdoor crud. It used to take me hours to clean them all out by using various scrub brushes and old toothbrushes, but I can have one fully cleaned in under 3 minutes when I use my HomeRight SteamMachine.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

While I do wipe my bathtub down daily, I don't focus too much on the jet nozzles on the tub walls, and it's a haven for soap scum buildup. I used to sit in the tub, rub-a-dub-dubbing away at the buildup with a cotton swab, another chore that would take me forever to finish. My SteamMachine fitted with the small brush attachment has the soap scum from each jet blasted away in under a minute each.

AFTER:

But, my favorite way to use my SteamMachine is to clean and sanitize my floors. The head swivels easily to get along all floor surfaces evenly, even around toilets.

I like to use the chenille pad on my tiled floors because the fluffy loops really reach down into the grout grooves to pull up any hiding dirt. I use the flat mop pad on my hardwood floors since it is a continuous flat surface. I'll also flip the mop over and do a quick swipe on my baseboards as I go along to clean up any loose dirt or dust. Best of all, the SteamMachine has wheels so it easily moves with you as you go along.

If you want a chemical-free clean home, I can't recommend HomeRight SteamMachine enough. You can get your own SteamMachine directly from HomeRight, or you can find them at select home improvement stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, and on Amazon.

What's your biggest challenge when it comes to spring cleaning?

 

AutoRight SteamMachine Gets the Car Clean without Chemicals!

Many of our summer days were spent in the car, traveling everywhere from big cities, to islands, to sleepy beach towns. Spending so many hours in the car, it was bound to get dirty and disgusting. We're tracking in dirt and mud, sand, and crumbs from snacking on long road trips. With so much going on, I didn't spend much time really cleaning it these past few months. Just scoop out the chip bags and water bottles and call it a day. I was a bit too tired to dig in and give it the good scrubbing that it really needed. Who really wants to spend a whole weekend day scrubbing out the car? Not me!

Saturday we were supposed to get scattered showers, so I figured I'd take the time to finally give it the tlc it needed. I just received an AutoRight SteamMachine, so I was a bit eager (well, as eager as anyone can be when it comes to cleaning) to see how quickly I could get the job done.  

And it turns out, I had the whole interior done in less than 30 minutes! The AutoRight SteamMachine is a fantastic little portable cleaning machine. Quickly and easily blast away car's dirt and grime with just the cleaning power of steam. I love that I could get my entire car clean without the use of any chemicals. Simply fill the water tank, let the machine warm up, then steam away all of the dirt. Easy, peasy. The machine does run for about 30 minutes on one tank of water, though if you get done quicker, you'll need to empty out the excess.

For the most part, I only needed to use the handgun nozzle to get most of the car's interior clean. However, there are 10 attachments you can use to steam the carpets, crevices, and upholstery. Most of the attachments fit right in the front of the machine for convenient storage.

I was pleased to learn that the AutoRight SteamMachine is safe to use on leather.

Here are a few Before & After photos of my car.

The interior and floor was caked with sand and dirt, and who knows what the kids spilled all over the seats. Now it's clean and shiny. Almost like new once again.

The floor mats were pretty dirty, but a quick blast of steam loosed up all of the dirt, then I was able to wipe them down with a dry towel to remove the dirty water, leaving them nice and clean.

Most parents probably understand how icky kids can get the interior door handles. My kids are no exception. Look at how gunked up they got the doors.

All this clean with just a blast of steam, which I find quite impressive! I have always been pleased with the cleaning results I have received by using HomeRight's products, and the AutoRight SteamMachine has been added to the list of of my favorite tools to clean with now too. You can buy your own AutoRight SteamMachine on the HomeRight website or on Amazon.com.

Can you feel it? Spring is right around the corner. Okay, with snow still on the ground, I can't feel spring approaching just yet, but with the sun coming out earlier and earlier each day, I know it's getting close. I do 2 really big house cleanings a year, and my next one will be coming up right before Easter, before all of my family comes over for the holiday.

When do you start your spring cleaning?

SteamMachine Plus By Homeright Keeps The Home Sparkling Clean!

I am a lot little OCD about having a clean home. And in a house with 3 stinky dogs, 2 messy kids, and 1 even messier husband, I have my work cut out for me. I want to get my house in sparkling condition, but I don't have a lot of time to spend on getting it that way. HomeRight and I have been like BFF's when it comes to getting my home clean, and keeping it that way.

I have been using the HomeRight steam machine for the past year to help me tackle nasty grime around my home, but when I learned they now make a multi-purpose steam mop, I was giddy with excitement!

The SteamMachine Plus Multi-Purpose Steam Mop from HomeRight is ideal for quick, daily, chemical-free cleaning. This multi-purpose steam mop heats up quickly and is great for quick daily floor cleaning. The SteamMachine Plus features a detachable hand-held steamer. The included 6 attachments are ideal for cleaning and disinfecting stovetops, ovens, grills, countertops and bathrooms. The 205 degree temperature steam at nozzle kills 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria including e-coli, salmonella, and staph. The handle folds down for easy storage and also features on-demand steam trigger on handle, plus a cord wrap on the handle. The floor mop and pad features a swivel triangular mop head for added maneuverability. Use the SteamMachine Plus to disinfect your hard floor surfaces; such as laminate, hardwood, tile, stone, vinyl and linoleum. 

I have mostly hard flooring in my home, and it gets mopped daily. It is such a chore, one that I really hate doing every day. Over the past 5 years, I have tried  many mops, hoping to find one that will make the task a lot easier. I thought my current mop was doing a good job, until I tried the new SteamMachine Plus mop.

Here are two videos showing a sticky dot on my floor, and how each mop handled the task.

  

You can see that I had to go over the same spot many times with my current mop, and barely made a dent in getting it off the floor. With just a quick swipe of the HomeRight SteamMachine Plus, it was gone without any effort!

I swept and mopped my kitchen as normal with my regular mop. I thought I had done a good job getting all the dirt off the floor. I then immediately went over it again with the SteamMachine Plus. Look at all the dirt that was left behind! Gross!

It can even be used to steam stains off carpet. My kids spilled tea on carpet in our spare room. Since it is not a room I go in often, I didn't notice it, and the stain really set in. I used the SteamMachine Plus for two minutes on the stain, and while it didn't completely remove it, it did lighten it considerably. With more effort, I am sure I can get it all the way out. I was so impressed with the results of getting the stain out with steam alone, and no harsh chemicals!

Not only does the HomeRight SteamMachine Plus work as a mop, with the push of a button it converts to a handheld steamer with 6 attachments, to let you tackle tough jobs around the home.  

I like to use the squeegee to blast away tough soap scum in the shower.

The long adaptor is great at getting the grime that gets lodged into the sink crevices.

The other attachments do a great job on cleaning grout lines, scraping baked on food off of kitchen appliances, blasting dirt out of hard to reach spots, and you can even use it to steam garments! 

When it comes to getting my house clean, the HomeRight SteamMachine Plus is nothing short of amazing! The mop is currently available to purchase on the HomeRight website for $124.99.
