It’s hard to believe that it’s officially Spring. With all the cold weather and Nor’easters we’ve been getting here in the Northeast its hard to believe that it truly is Spring. It seems more like an extra long Winter. Sigh…
I have been anxious to throw open the windows and get some much needed Spring cleaning done.
I should mention that I hate to clean. I truly do! I love the look and feel of a totally clean home – I just hate all the work that goes into getting it that way. Thankfully my husband helps me out with a lot of the cleaning. I wish I could say the same about our able bodied – yet lazy – kids (who are technically young adults).
There is so much that needs to get done – from vacuuming out the heating units to scrubbing the baseboards. I do clean year round (of course!) but some things we only do a few times a year because it doesn’t really warrant cleaning them more often than that. I suppose we could, but between my family, work, blogging and school (I went back to school – yeah me!), I simply don’t have the time and energy to get EVERYTHING done all the time. So I do the best I can.
Having the right tools to get your Spring cleaning done is a must. You should look for things that help you work for efficiently and help make cleaning a bit easier.
Are you familiar with the brand Libman? The Libman Company has been around for 122 years. WOW! They manufacturer commercial and high-power cleaning products right here in the good old USA.
I have seen their products in stores for as long as I can remember. We even use Libman products (sponges and mops).
Libman reached out to me a few weeks ago and asked if I’d like to review some of their products. Since I had to get my Spring cleaning done I thought it was the perfect time to review some Libman products I was not familiar with.
I was sent the following products to review.
Dusting
- Microfiber Duster (Product #92)
Dusting is not something I enjoy doing – especially when I dust one area, move to another and find dust already coming back to the area I just dusted. UGH!!!
I don’t have much time during the day to dust, and by the time night time rolls around I’m too tired. For that reason I need something I can use to quickly dust off surfaces so that our place looks clean. I can dust the little knick knacks on the weekend when I have more time.
The Microfiber Duster is dusting “wand” for lack of a better description. It has an ergonomically designed hand grip, making it easy to use hold on to. It also comes with a premium microfiber “head” that helps to grab dust and allergens.
The microfiber piece is easily removed so you can wash it and keep it clean, which in turn keeps your home clean. Usually a clean duster each time helps it to work it’s best. After all, its impossible to get truly cleaned if the device you are using is dirty. I think that is one of the major “flaws” with most dusters – you are basically just pushing dust around and nothing is truly getting cleaned. By using a clean duster each time you are helping to grab and remove the dust, dirt and allergens each time.
I also find it a bit quicker to dust with this compared to the dusting mitt we used to use.
- Flexible Microfiber Duster (Product #94)
I wanted something like this to help me dust the ceiling fans, walls and corners. I’m “vertically challenged” (short), so I can’t reach many things. I am not a fan of standing on chairs either.
I like that this comes with an “arm” that you can extend to reach high places. You can even bend the one end to aid in dusting/cleaning. For example, when I am dusting the ceiling fans I bend it a little so that I can dust the tops of the blades.
This also comes with a pad that can be removed and washed to keep it clean.
My only “complaint”, which isn’t THAT bad, is that this is a bit heavy, in my opinion. When it’s extended I have a hard time controlling it.
Cleaning Floors
- Microfiber Dust Mop (Product #195)
We have five cats. Five cats equals a lot of hair.
In our dining room, kitchen and hallway we have laminate floors. Sometimes we get what we refer to as “tumbleweeds” – little puffs of cat hair that blow across the floor when the door or windows are opened. We usually just grab them and toss them out, but sometimes they go under the dining room table, making them a bit out of reach.
I really like this dust mop. Not only does it grab the hair, but also kitty litter, dirt and other debris.
Normally I vacuum these rooms to collect all the debris, but there are days I don’t have time. I like that I can give the rooms a “once over” with this dust mop to keep the rooms clean.
This also have a removable “head” that can be cleaned.
Mopping
- Freedom Spray Mop (Product #4002)
- 16 oz. Freedom Multi-Surface Cleaner (Product #4008)
I’ve never been too keen on mopping. It’s so messy to do.
I used to use a bucket of water, cleaner and a traditional mop, but that was messy, time consuming and I felt like my floors often looked worse than they did before I mopped (streaky).
In addition, we live in a tiny condo, so we don’t have much room to store things.
I was excited to give the Freedom Spray Mop a try. It looked so easy (and it is!).
Simply add the Freedom Multi-Surface Cleaner to the mop’s reservoir and water. Mop the floor the way you normally would, but instead of dipping the mop in a bucket of water you just squeeze the handle and the liquid sprays out on the floor in front of you. As you pass over it with the mop it cleans the floor and mops up the liquid so you are not left with wet, streaky floors.
This is great to use when you don’t have much time to mop. I can mop our kitchen floor in just minutes, which cuts my cleaning time down significantly. Plus, I don’t dread mopping the floor like I used to.
Kitchen
- Palm Brush (Product #1147)
There are plenty of times that we have to scrub our pots and pans. It’s not something that we look forward to, but it’s something that has to be done.
Traditional sponges are not always good enough for scrub a pot or pan clean. Sometimes you need to add some “elbow grease” and really scrub them.
I am NOT a fan of steel wood. I don’t like how it feels.
I was sent to review the Palm Brush from Libman. It’s a small scrub brush that you can fill with your favorite dish detergent. To use, press on the top of the Palm Brush to release some of the detergent, then scrub like you normally would.
This fits well in your hand (it’s comfortable to use). And it’s a much nicer feeling than steel wood.
So far, so good. This little product has come in handy on more than one occasion.
The only negative we noticed is that sometimes the soap detergent inside of the Palm Brush comes out and we find it on the sink where the Palm Brush is sitting. It’s not a big deal. To remedy it we keep the Palm Brush in a small cup.
Bathroom
- Toilet Brush & Plunger Combo (Product #1024)
Our condo is super tiny, so we don’t have much room for us, let alone our stuff.
Like most people, we have a toilet brush to keep our toilet clean, and a plunger in case the toilet gets clogged. To save on space, the Libman Toilet Brush & Plunger Combo gives you both items in a space saving container – the toilet brush on one side and the plunger on the other.
I can’t say too much about this. We haven’t needed the plunger yet, but it’s a standard plunger so I’m sure it works fine. As for the brush, so far, so good. It keeps our toilet clean.
Other
- Lint Brush (Product #78)
Going back to us having five cats and how hair gets everywhere, having a lint brush is vital.
We used to use the ones that worked with sticky paper, but they can be costly. I like the one from Libman because he can use it over and over again and there are no worries about having to replace the sticky paper. Once you use this lint brush, just wipe off the hair and you are ready to go again.
This one is much more cost effective and earth-friendly (no need for sticky papers).
Libman products are available at many retail locations across the country.
