Never have I ever needed a decluttering challenge more than I do right now. After months and months of pandemic life, spending more time at home and less leaving the house for school, work and life in general, the piles of clutter have become overwhelming. Holiday Clutter At this time of year, at Christmas, I also find myself frequently overwhelmed but the extra decorations and details that make the home festive but also visually cluttered.

Vacuuming Stairs and Other Hard to Reach Places with Hoover Impulse
Vacuuming stairs is nothing if not a challenge. It’s the hardest spot in your home to vacuum. We have a couple of steep and lengthy staircases and they get a lot of traffic so they need a good cleaning at least weekly. It’s so hard to get stairs clean.

Which means at some point, I often do my Amazing Stair Balance Act wherein I simultaneously hold the vacuum in place with my feet while using both hands to vacuum the stairs. Of course, all of this has to happen without me tumbling…

Deep Cleaning Carpets Quickly and Easily
I am a TTi Floor Care ambassador and as such I receive compensation and various other perks. My opinion is truthful. Deep cleaning carpets is a must if you want to keep your family healthy. Pet owners have dander to think about. People with allergies have to be cognizant of pollen traveling into the house and then settling in the carpet. Carpets feel so cozy on our feet, but really, they harbor all kinds of dirt and other nasty stuff that is sometimes unhealthy and gross. Until now I was outsourcing deep cleaning carpets here. Some weeks I barely have time to vacuum, so I used to pay for a…

Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus 3-in-1 Makes Vacuuming Easier
Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus 3-in-1 makes vacuuming easier and lighter too. I’m not in to vacuuming. Not even a little bit. Truthfully, I’m not into a lot of domestic chores. I’d rather dust than do the vacuuming, and we all know how much more difficult that is. I think it’s because of all the cord hassle and having to lug the thing around. It gets annoying. In fact the weight of some heavy vacuums is completely a hassle. These days, vacuuming is less horrible for me now that I’m using the Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus 3-in-1.
