Since I’ve been couponing, I’ve tried out a lot of different household cleaners that I’ve gotten for (basically) free or FREE-99, as I like to say.  But there are a couple that really stand out, and I like them soo much that I wanted to tell you all about them.  No one even gave me a free sample or bribed me to tell you, I just WANT to!  So, here goes. 

Favorite product # 1: Dawn Direct Foam

This is the best dish soap EV-AH.  I never even really cared about dish soap until I met DDF.  This stuff foams out of the pump and it really works!  I love the foam because it’s not sticky or hard to rinse off like some dish soaps, but what I really love is this: if you squirt one pump into a crusty crock pot and leave it sit for an hour or two, it turns all the crustiness into easy-to-rinse-off mush!  It really is amazing!! So even though (thanks to my CVS shopping) I have enough dish soap to last a year, I’m going to give it all away and use my coupons and ExtraCare Bucks to buy Dawn Direct Foam!  It rocks!!

Favorite Product #2: Easy-Off Bam!

This was recommended to me by my friend and babysitter Krisha, who at the ripe old age of 14 is the chief bathroom cleaner in her household.  It was on the rebate program at Walgreens a couple of months ago so I got me some and it is GREAT!!  I ha-ate cleaning the tub and shower so when I get around to it, it’s generally a little, um, dirtier than it should be. And when I’m done, it’s usually still not as clean as I’d like!  Until now, that is! My shower and tub seriously sparkle now.  I have no idea what is in this stuff to make it dissove soap scum so well, but it is amazing.  My only caveat about this product is that it is pretty strong – the smell isn’t bad but the mist from the snap-crackle-popping foam bubbles is easy to breathe in, so I had to cover my nose and mouth with a cloth while I scrubbed. However, the clean was WELL WORTH IT!

So, if your house needs some clean, I recommend starting with these products!  Happy cleaning!
