It's almost summer; time to get outside. And time to break out all your summer clothing. While you're spending a day at the beach, picnicking in the park, or just lounging by the pool, a hat is your best friend. It keeps the light out of your eyes and...
What a great party you’re having. Everyone seems to be having a great time…when suddenly—a spill! But before you get your reindeer panties in a bunch, prep yourself on these three common holiday stains and how to clean them. The Basic Stain Treatment First off, make your own stain pre-treater and keep it...
Every now and then, we go through our older laundry videos on our YouTube channel and look at the comments. We like to find the laundry conundrums that the Clean My Space nation is experiencing and show you how to solve them. I want to provide the Clean My Space...
One of the things I have started to do as part of #adulting, is changing over my fallwinter wardrobe to springsummer and vice-versa. I never used to see the value in doing this; it felt time-consuming and unimportant. However, my closet was starting to explode with clothes and I was struggling with...
We like to think of ourselves as the New York Times of the cleaning world. Our finger is always on the pulse of cleaning trends, ready to pounce on the latest, biggest cleaning story. OK, I’m exaggerating. But we do like to keep our ears to the ground for...
Hey, laundry lovers (and haters)! Whether laundry day is your least favorite day of the week or the day you look forward to the most (and if it is, who are you?!), you need to know the controls on your washing machine.  WAIT, DON’T GO! I know you’re probably thinking,...
Have you noticed your once-fluffy pillows getting lumpy, heavy, and just feeling, well, not so great anymore? Your fluffy pillow is like a sponge. It absorbs skin cells, pet dander, body oils, sweat, bacteria, and dust mites. Essentially, anything that’s floating around in your room will eventually land on...
For better or for worse, those of us who live in cold climates have been busting out the winter coats. After my coat’s been sitting in the closet for six months, I like to give it a wash before spending the next six months living in it.  And inevitably, at...
Who doesn't love Halloween?! Nothing is better than getting free candy, am I right? As an adult I still love Halloween because now I get to hand out treats to all the little ones (and some not so little ones from time to time). But, along with all the...

Laundry Packs 101

2010 was the first time we in North America saw the modern-day laundry detergent packs (also referred to as packets, pods, paks, pacs) come on the market. They looked cute and colorful, and we were told they'd make doing laundry easier. But they were, perhaps, a little confusing.  Have you...
Chad and I recently got back from three blissful weeks in California, going from the Youtube conference in Palm Springs to Santa Monica, to San Diego, Carmel, and Napa. We squeezed in loads of R&R, time with friends, and good meals; there might have been some wine consumed. In any...
Look, I don’t have great luck with acquiring washing machines and dryers. I know how to use them, I know how to clean them, but when I move into a new home, I tend to acquire the most rickety laundry machines. When we were looking at our now new home...
There’s nothing scarier than watching your kid dressed as Elsa eat their sticky Halloween candy in your silk dress. Unless it’s their friend dressed as Frankenstein holding a dangerously full glass of punch over your new beige carpet.  As a parent, I know just how messy even a typical day...
Along with writing articles and making videos about the DIY cleaning community for the last 11 years, I have also been running a cleaning business. The bottom line is, I know a lot about cleaning for someone that hates to do it and I've learned some tips and tricks...
