Clean Home Hack, What Are People Looking For?, and Let's Get Moving

This is a post that every single homeowner needs ??

I love a good cleaning hack (especially when I'm not the one actually cleaning!). It's the time of year for curling up on the sofa with a blanket and your favorite beverage...add to that a feisty pup, your kid, and it's practically a recipe for spills and splatters. ????

Here is how to keep your carpets, throw pillows and upholstery looking and smelling fresh all throughout the winter "hibernation" season. ??

?? If something spills on a rug, get to it ASAP! Treat pet stains with enzyme cleaner (Seventh Generation Natural Stain Remover Spray is a good one!) and sprinkle food/drink ???? spills with baking powder before vacuuming and spot treating.

?? Have your rugs and upholstery professionally steam-cleaned at least once per year. Check fabric care labels on things like throw pillows, bed linens, window coverings and blankets to see if they can be machine washed or need to be dry-cleaned. ??

?? To brighten up bed linens, look no further than your kitchen pantry. Run a wash cycle with your bed sheets and a half-cup of distilled white vinegar for a quick boost of brightness and softness.
