High Maintenance Mom

I love Method!

I've been using Method cleaners for years. I started with the dish soap and have used, at one time or another, all of their products. My only beef is with their glass cleaner, which always leaves streaks. I even emailed them about it. The gal who responded was very nice and personable and suggested I use crumpled newspaper instead of paper towels when I clean the mirrors. She said their glass cleaner contains much less ammonia than other glass cleaners, making it more eco-friendly. I tried the newspaper trick for awhile, but I wasn't satisfied with the results. I now use another glass cleaner, but I still love the other Method products.

The grapefruit dish soap is my favorite.

I dig it too. I even use the bathroom wipes, and advised my husband if there is ever a time when he just felt like wiping down the toilet, it would be so very easy. Alas, its just easy for me. The scents are great and I love that it is eco-riffic, and safe for my little guy. I use it to clean up his drool spills on his activity center too. Sweet.

I have also let The Pocket Physicist know that he should feel free to wipe down the toilets any time he feels like it but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one using them. "And with the eucalyptus mint scent, they smell like a spa..." Yep, I'm all about having the room where three of the males in my house have been known to pee on the floor smell like a spa (okay one male is the cat and the other really doesn't really pee on the floor but he doesn't sit down to pee either).

Cleaning wipes rank right up there with the ear thermometer and my other favorite inventions. I have a wipe for everything. I put the kids in the tub and whip out a wipe. Maybe a glass cleaning wipe for the mirror in their bathroom or maybe an antibac wipe to clean up the toilet. Sometimes I use a multi-purpose wipe and swab down the bathroom counter and the mirror. Other times, I just clean off the their toilet step stool. Why is it that the men put the kids in the tub and then just sit there? All these cleaning wipes at their disposal, yet they seldom use them. Do they have any idea how quick and easy it would be for them to do a little cleaning and just how many brownie points it would earn them? I think they play dumb to the power of the wipe because they think it's easier than actually cleaning. Little do they know how little effort is required for such a grand effect...
