It seems that every year we end up hosting family and/or friends around the holidays and preparing our home for guests is no easy feat. We have three children in a variety or sports and other activities, I work mostly from home and always have a lot of materials for whatever projects I am working on and we are way too busy a lot of the time to give our house the attention it needs and deserves. As a result, the holidays also meant that it is time for a deep clean in our house.
The first thing to get cleaned are all of the linens. I run all of the towels, sheets, blankets and comforters through an extra wash cycle to make certain that everything looks, smells and feels fresh.
This year I am using Arm & Hammer Ultra Power 4X Laundry Detergent (Arm & Hammer product page). What I love about it is that because it is concentrated, I use much less and clean a lot more laundry.
Arm & Hammer’s Ultra Power 4X concentrated laundry detergent contains powerful stain fighters and two scoops of baking soda to give you fresh, clean clothes. The small, conveniently shaped bottle delivers more washes per load than 2X concentrated detergents.
I even cleaned all of our winter coats and sweaters as well. My kids coats are about the hardest things to keep clean ever. I took my daughters coats out of the dryer the other and put it on her. All we did was walk to the car and by the time we got there, she had already gotten dirt on it. UGH. Luckily I threw it right back in the washer that night and it came clean. AGAIN.
I brought all of my special holiday linens from the basement and of course, they needed to be cleaned. That linen Italian tablecloth that we got for our wedding and use every holiday? It looks brand new. The table runners in festive holiday colors that go all around our house? The colors are bright and vibrant while they smell amazing.
I love the way that Arm & Hammer makes everything look and smell. Fresh, new and ready to use.
Check out our clean and refreshed guest room just waiting for people to visit us this year.
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Arm & Hammer. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
