Washing your hands is something we do every day—we wash our hands before eating, after using the washroom, while we're cooking, we teach our kids the importance of wash their hands... It’s fair to say that it's something we’re all pretty familiar with. But - have we ever really stopped...

Happy Holidays, Clean My Space Nation! This year I wanted to share with you some of my favourite gift ideas because you know, gift shopping isn't as easy as it is cracked up to be.  Don’t worry; they all do not have to do with cleaning. They're unique, useful and certainly something...
One of THE most requested CMS videos and in-depth articles is 'how to clean your car'. Since we know that it will take a good amount of time and resources to create this full video (which we don't yet have), I wanted to provide you a quick “cliffs note”...
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...
Washing the outside of your car is easy. You grab some soap and water, or better yet, you drive through a car wash and forget about it. But car interior cleaning is a much bigger job. We all eat in our cars, our kids eat in our cars, our...
Tidying vs. Cleaning There is a difference you know.  The divisible line is whether something is being cleaned (i.e. dirt removed, spiffed) or simply tidied (organized and straightened up).  One should not be confused with the other. We tidy up when friends come over, but we clean up when our mother...
We put Hayward's Aquavac 650 to the test to find out. When Chad and I started looking for a new home, we knew we needed to find one with a pool. While we live in Ontario, Canada and have about 4 months of pool season each year, it was a...
My garage had yet to see a car in it, until now. Yes I know, embarrassing, but true. Since we moved into this house over 5 years ago, our garage has become a catch all that was in need of a major overhaul. Boxes and old packages, sports equipment, winter...

Maybe you've noticed, but your yard really takes a beating throughout the winter months. You don't want to just roll out your patio furniture and—boom—start entertaining, because it will always look a little dingy and unkempt. But luckily if you hit all the items on this to-do list, it...
A place for everything and everything in its place. Cliché – yes. But super important for all the teachers getting ready for the school year to start. With so many young minds to shape, having an organized and welcoming classroom is a great first step, especially when so many other...
