June Recap!
Summer Time! Let's talk about what we did!
June!! Did it fly by or what?! I can’t believe we are half way through the summer!
Here’s everything we did this month! Started the month off strong by doing some monthly maintenance reminders! I love doing all of these at the beginning or end of the month. :) Set a timer for 30 minutes and check out the full list in this reel: HERE
I also made a list on Amazon with all my favorite products that make doing these monthly maintenance tasks a breeze! Grab them all here: Monthly Maintenance Favs
Next I talked about one of my new favorite cleaning gadgets I’ve ever owned! The Dreame X50 Ultra Robot Vacuum. It vacuums, it mops, it self empties, self cleans while I just sit on the couch or do other cleaning. :) I’ve been running it every night when we go to bed and wake up to a clean home. It’s truly been incredible! Anyways, if you want to watch the full video about it here it is: WATCH IT HERE!
Or checkout the vacuum / mop for yourself, it’s seriously SO COOL!!!
Did you know about these 5 hidden spots in your kitchen that you should be cleaning?!
1: Rubber seal in kitchen sink
2: Top of fridge
3: Stove hood filter
4: Freezer rubber seal
5: Bottom of toaster
I put the full list on how / why you should clean each item on my caption on the video so be sure to check that out! And clean them if it’s been a bit. ;)
Next up I talked about what I would do if I was starting completely over with cleaning. I added 5 tips that I feel like I wish I would have started with from the beginning. Check those tips out: HERE!
I made of list of all my favorite cleaning tools & products that are worth getting at the start to make your entire cleaning experience so much easier!
Here’s the list: My Fav Cleaning Tools / Products

Thennnn! I finally announced something I’d been hiding for a long time! I am pregnant with baby #5! It was definitely a huge surprise as we were completely done having kids (so we thought!) It’s been something we are all still grasping - but we are excited! It’s a boy (my 4th boy!). :) I’m due October 28th!
We had some company come to town, so I wanted to focus on everything I do before I host! I made a list of 10 things to make hosting simple and easy and have your company feel welcome! Watch the whole thing: HERE

You know those cleaning tasks that hang over your head for months?! That was my grill!! I had been wanting to deep clean it for soooo long and wow was it a mess! But soooo worth it! :) Be sure to watch exactly how I did it here: Grill Cleaning and check out my list with all my favorite grill cleaning products: RIGHT HERE!
Then we had the most fun vacation ever by going to Kauai!! Just my husband and I went and left the kids with Grandma & Grandpa. It was so much fun and just the break I needed! Before I go on vacation, I always have a full list of things I get done before we leave! Here it is: 5 Things To Do Before Vacation

While I was gone, I oddly enough, got a lot of questions about stain removal! I made a list of the 6 of the most stains including:
🛏️ Mattress stains
🚽 Toilet bowl stains
🚿 Hard water buildup
🖊️ Permanent marker & pen
🧴 Oil & grease
🩸 Blood stains
Be sure to check out that post to find out the best, easiest and most effective way to remove the stains! 6 Common Stains & How To Remove Them
Next! I launched a new product. :) YAY!! I’ve had lots of people tell me they aren’t sure where to start with cleaning or how to find the motivation to get going. This is the perfect way to easily start cleaning! Just print them off, cut them up and use them like deck of cards! If it’s just one a day or set a timer for 20 minutes and do as many as you can, it’s a great way to stay on track and know what’s next! Check out more information in the reel caption: HERE!
And be sure to grab the cleaning deck for yourself!! Cleaning Card Deck :) Thanks so much for all your love and support!!
Do you ever clean your bathroom and think… “ewww, this still smells in here!” I know I have! And this is probably why: PEE. Yup, it loves to hide just about everywhere. Be sure to clean all the hidden spots: Find Them All Here
Long story short: you NEED to get an enzyme cleaner to break up the acid crystals that’s find in the urine to get rid of the smell. This is the favorite one I’ve used: Enzyme Cleaner
Also! Give me your laundry opinion: I always have one big laundry day, but so many people break it up! Which do you prefer?! Let me know! Laundry Preference?!
Talked about one thing that I get a lot of comments about… and that’s “I don’t have time to do this because…. x y z” Watch the reel: HERE!
Guess what? I know you’re busy. I am busy. We’re all busy! Cleaning never seems to be ‘convenient’. Here’s what I learned over the years: it’s all about consistency, having a good rhythm and plan. If you don’t have a plan, you won’t be as successful. I wasn’t! I never was until I got a full plan of what I was doing. If you’re still unsure where to start grab any of guides here: CLEANING GUIDES. Most of them are free, a few of them are paid because they have a lottt of detail! I hope you love them all. :) Thanks again for your love and support - so grateful for you all!!
Last thing to wrap up the month was another monthly maintenance reminder…but in still photo form this time for those carousel lovers! Be sure to check out the whole list here in still photos if you love that: Monthly Maintenance Reminders.
And that’s IT! A full wrap up of June and ready to get started in July! If there is something specific you want to see from me / wanting to know how to clean, please let me know!! I absolutely love and appreciate any feedback. It helps me help you!
Thanks so much for all being here! I hope you are having / continue to have a fabulous summer! Happy Cleaning!!
