Thanks to Pledge for sponsoring my writing about cleaning.
I know, I know, housecleaning is a SUCH a dirty word (sorry!) but, raising 2 teens, 2 tweens and 2 pets, while waging war on a 7 room house (notice how I refer to it as a battle and NOT cleaning, you're welcome!) my friends at One2One Network asked if I'd be interested in testing out Pledge multi-surface capabilities.
Why?
Because, they know that, you know, I am also a lover of multi-functional stuff!
All of the Pledge aerosol (Natural Beauty, Clean & Shine, Dust & Allergen, Protection Plus and Extra Moisturizing) family of formulas can be used to clean following surfaces:
- Sealed wood and wood laminates
- Synthetic wood surfaces (think: IKEA)
- Stainless steel
- Leather
- Sealed marble
- Sealed granite
- Vinyl and chrome -- this would include car dashboards (vinyl) and car seats (leather or vinyl)
I received a can of Pledge Lemon Clean and immediately put it to work on my FAVORITE piece in the house.
Our 50+ year-old oak harvest table. It belonged to my mother-in-law. She raised 5 kids, 3 (maybe 4) dogs (I forget) and, well, our dining room table has seen A LOT of action (evidenced above) it is almost always one sticky mess (sorry, Mom!)
Although, I must confess, this table is way passed in need of a REAL GOOD cleaning and a new coat of wax, like how my MIL used to clean it (sorry, table!) it's nice to know that all I need this Christmas is one can and a dust cloth.
To clean the unidentifiable fingershlumps (YES, it's a word!) on the dishwasher.
Ditto on the fridge (stupid fingershlumps!)
Oh, and that creepy crud growing on the dashboard of our car (a.k.a. SS Movable Feast) all shiney and new-ish looking, too!
[blows bangs out of eyes]
I just might get my house (and car) ready in time for, you know, Valentine's Day.
[sound of crickets]
Stupid cleaning!
FINAL VERDICT: Having to hunt down only one cleaning product, that handles multiple surfaces and, you know, actually works, is a definite plus in the defense against the dark arts of the household chore that shall NOT be named!
