I suck at cleaning.
While I appreciate a clean house, I have yet to master the art of maintaining one. That being said, when spring comes along and the sunlight begins to stream through the windows and the kids start playing outside again, I usually get hit with a (short-lived) desire to tackle some spring cleaning projects. For a few days, I am a MACHINE. I will purge closets, wash windows, organize spice drawers and basically clean the way most civilized adults do for the rest of the year.
This year, the cleaning spurt hit just as I was given a sample of Clorox Clean-Up spray to test out and it came in a brand new bottle exclusive to Clorox that uses Smart Tube® Technology.
You know how usually when you come to the end of a bottle of cleaning product, it’s impossible to spritz the last of the the cleaner out? If you’re me, you just have 13 bottles with 2 cm of product left in their bottoms lining your cleaning closet. I never know what to do with them! But this new technology is awesome. See how it works:
It gets every last drop out so there is no waste, no mess and more value overall. For this cleaning-challenged girl, it’s a win-win.
Here’s a link to some coupons so you can test out the technology for yourself!

My least favourite cleaning is the fridge. I just hate it, the greenery gets stuck, the milk drops gone bad I have to scrape off. There always seems to be a cracked egg mess that sticks to the bottom of my egg carton I have to scrape that off too. Having to empty everything out, and I never seem to get the compartments back where they need to be.

I absolutely LOVE your first sentence. I think you are my twin because “I suck at cleaning” too!
I hate getting rid of all the toys and clothes my kids grow out of. I know if I get rid of one item, they will “need” it the week after it is gone. However, they have not used it for a whole year. As far as cleaning, I am not fond of light fixtures. Up and down, up and down.
