Friday Favorite - Two of My Favorite Cleaning Helps

 

Today’s Friday Favorite is actually two items. We definitely have a multi-dog household. Living with seven long-haired Chihuahuas makes for lots of dog hair and lots of messes on the floors from muddy paws, water slurping, etc. I work very hard to keep our house not only fun, safe, and healthy for the dogs, but also clean and healthy for the humans that live here also.

Today I want to share with you my two favorite tools that make that job so much easier. The first one is ‘Hazel’, my Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum. 

Yes, I named the vacuum. 😄 After years of going through boxes and boxes of Swiffer mop cloths, we finally decided to give a cordless vacuum a try. I was quickly sold on the ease and convenience of this lightweight vacuum. It was especially helpful when I was recovering from surgery on my arm. I love the fact that I can return the vacuum to its charging base, where it will charge and empty itself. No more getting dirty to empty the canister. Yay!!! It has a removeable hand vac that works great for cleaning other areas such as drawers, corners, furniture, and dog beds. The roller bar is self-cleaning and the hair does not wrap around it. With dogs, that is a huge plus!

It has 40 minutes of running time, which is plenty for me to vacuum our entire house. It can be used on both hard floor surfaces and carpet. I use this vacuum every day!

My second favorite for today is ‘Eleanor’, my Eureka Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum and Mop in one. 

This is so much better than slinging a mop and bucket! Self-propelled and soo easy to use, even Shawn-the-Wonder-Guy loves it. For use on hard floor surfaces, this machine will vacuum up debris and mop at the same time. It senses dirt and automatically adjusts the suction and water flow. It has a 35-minute run time. It has a clean water tank and a dirty water tank, so you are never spreading dirty water over your floor like when using a conventional mop.  It is easy maintenance with its self-cleaning features and has pleasant voice prompts. When you return it to the base, it will charge and clean the roller. You simply dump the dirty water out and leave it to charge for next time. I use this to mop the floors 3-4 times per week.

These two cleaning helps have been game changers for my ability to keep my floors clean and looking nice. Both are relatively quiet when in use and the dogs sleep through the cleaning process, unbothered even when I use them right up close to them. I hope they can be a help for you, too.

Have a happy weekend and give your pups a hug from us! 💖
