Ok the grueling heat wave this week has me stuck either indoors or in someone else's pool. So I'm sittin here, breathing stale air from the a/c going basically always, and fixating on all the things I can be cleaning, even though that's pointless because as I'm working on one side of the house, the boys are on the other side tearing it backup soooooo these are the games we play. Here are a few of my favorite things to help me through this charade and why I love them:
I have officially become addicted to the seasonal scents ole Mrs. Meyer's brings to the yard. This spring it was Daisy, now for summer its Dandelion...I can only assume I'll get hooked on whatever fall and winter brings too.

Since I got my new washer, I use this monthly with my front loader to get ahead of any future mildew stinkiness and keep that new washer smell forever. It's simple, it's CHEAP, and it makes a huge difference.

Ok this might be my MVP right churr - musty bath towels, smelly workout clothes, dog bed covers, or just anything extra stinky needs this. You add it to the fabric softener compartment in your machine (still use soap as you normally would) and it gives the load a once over. This adds so much life to my bath towels, I'm serious.

In my opinion this beats out other stain sticks I've tried - the other night, Josh managed to splatter olive oil onto his shirt in like 75 different places. I put this on it (in 75 places) let it sit for maybe 20 minutes, threw it in the washer, and its all gone. No soaking or anything, just put it on, and boom. Also its a gel, not a drippy spray, so I feel like it ends up more concentrated on the stain.

If you have hardwater, and don't already have these, you SHOULD! Toilet bowl rings be gone.

These are affordable and great quality, its a 10 pack so I don't have to buy them very often. Plus they are thicker than a lot of the pop up sponges out there and it holds soap better too.

I just tried these recently and like the natural scents, it smells fresh and clean, not perfumy like most other plug-ins. I am also notorious for leaving the house with a candle burning, so this for me was a more sound option (yikes, Liz, yikes)Envirascent plug-in - https://amzn.to/3WezVRm
Hopefully these favorites of mine become favorites of yours, or maybe you have a house cleaner and now I sound like a peasant. Either way, I hope you and/or your house cleaner enjoyed this post! As an Amazon associate I may earn commissions from any qualifying purchases made here.
