Whether you know it or not, your house has a unique smell. It can range from a light, fresh scent all the way to a musty, stale, wet dog kind of smell. The unfortunate part is, you get so used to this smell that you don't even recognize it...
Borax. Why don’t you have any yet? Most people have no idea about how wonderful this little box of cleaning joy is. Borax is made with water, oxygen, boron, and sodium—simple stuff that's been known to man for more than 4000 years, and used for cleaning with borax has been going on for...
As part of our Back to School series, I'll show you how to clean ink, marker and crayon stains. Remember to always treat a stain as soon as possible, since the faster you tackle it, the more likely you are to get rid of it. Also, when removing stains...
Cleaning an oven naturally is actually quite simple and we have had great success with the following techniques that require nothing more than some eco-friendly solutions and some elbow grease. Lemon and other citrus oils are great natural degreasers, and you can clean your oven—especially convection ovens—with just two lemons...
This article is for everyone who lives in a small space and cleans that small space. So, hopefully, that means everyone who lives in a small space. Cleaning is crucial, and to clean well, you need a good set of cleaning products and tools. But that can take up...
One thing that drives me crazy about vacuuming, and why it is my absolute least favourite cleaning task, is that I hate dealing with the weight, bulk and positioning of a vacuum. They are just so annoying to use. Ugh. I've had fantasies of raging against my vacuum before,...
This thing is an absolute animal!  You should see how it vacuums.  It is light years better than its predecessors, two of which I have owned and used for years (I think DC 44 and one other). The battle of the best handheld vacuum rages on.  I want to explain...
White-soled sneakers are all the rage in the fashion world, forget about people who actually exercise. The issue is, white-soled sneakers are hard to keep in near-new condition, which means pretty much as soon as you get them out of the box, you’ll be committing a fashion faux pas....
For this haul video we visit Bed Bath & Beyond (armed only with a credit card) and found some cool products that we wanted to share with the Clean My Space Nation! We hope you enjoy and we'd love to know if you have any of these items or want...

Target Haul!

Possibly the most requested haul video has arrived, here's my trip to Target! Now keep in mind, my friends, I live in Toronto and Target just ain't the same here as it is in the USA.  That being said, I did manage to walk out with some really golden buys,...
By now I'm sure you all know that I love cleaning with baking soda - and the same goes for vinegar, and dish liquid, and rubbing alcohol - in fact, I've written about each and every member of this natural cleaning royal family!  It's high time that I introduce you to...
Lint rollers offer more than what meets the eye. What have you missed?  Don't they just clean lint off clothes?  They're just sticky papers that are used to remove lint and pet hair from clothing, right?  Wrong!  There are so many cool ways to use a lint roller, that I...
Whenever we make videos which involve a vacuum, I get asked about the vacuums I have at home. Because of these requests, I decided to create a video and blog post detailing the vacuums I have at home, what I use each one for and my opinion (pros and...
I guess this would be my equivalent to a 'what's in my bag' video for a makeup guru.  Except I deal with cleaning products, and hardly wear a lick of makeup when cleaning.  Yes, when I do videos I'm in makeup, but that's because our cameras are beyond an acceptable...
