]]>Clean Your Bathroom In Five Minutes A Day
It is time to clean your bathroom! Read this and discover how you can clean your bathroom in five minutes a day.
Don’t be discouraged by the amount of cleaning that is required. By doing small bits everyday, it shrinks the amount of effort that is actually necessary for your bathroom to shine! Here is how you can stay on top of the cleaning:
Minimal effort for a large reward
No one wants to scrub their bathrooms and showers but unfortunately it is one of those jobs that must be done. By taking five minutes out of your day you will notice that this chore will become an easy one.
Clear benches
- Take a look at your benches, basins, niches in shower and put away everything that shouldn’t be out. This includes razors, hair straighteners, make up! If there are clothes on the floor, put them in the dirty clothes basket and hang your towels up.
Surface cleaning
- Spray your shower with bathroom cleaners and while you are waiting for it to work its magic get started on the toilet. Pour toilet cleaner in the bowl, give it a quick scrub and wipe down the rest of the toilet.
TIP: Don’t forget the front of the toilet, particularly if males live there!
- The shower spray should have had time to work now so give it a quick wipe down. (I use Healthy Clean Bathroom Rapid Foam because it works fast)
TIP: If you use body wash, it creates less soap scum on the tiles than a bar of soap.
Wipe wipe wipe
- Give the walls and tiles surrounding the basins a wipe / spot clean.
TIP: This is best done straight after having a shower as the steam makes it easier to wipe.
- Wipe down benches and basins with disinfectant sprays, don’t forget the taps. A lot of germs harbour there! To combat germs the Dettol Healthy Clean Bathroom Trigger is a great choice as it kills 99.9% of germs.
- Clean mirrors to remove any water splashes.
TIP: Microfiber cloths work great for a streak free clean.
Top up
- Top up hand wash and toilet paper.
Homes with young children may require a few extra minutes each day to keep your bathroom clean due to the additional mess they create. Mainly fingerprints, toothpaste drawings on the shower screen and dirty clothes next to the hamper.
The five minute a day clean doesn’t eliminate the need for a good once over; this should still be done periodically as needed. It will however mean you can have a clean and tidy bathroom with minimal effort each and every day!
By following these ideas you can clean your bathroom in five minutes a day – or there abouts.
Do you have any tips to add that can help reduce bathroom cleaning time?

]]>How To Remove Common Kids Stains
Don’t just accept clothes will be stained and dirty. You can remove common kids stains!
Every parent knows children get dirty and covered in the worst clothes stains by simply looking in the direction of dirt or food. Here is why you no longer do you have to fear permanent stains!
Stain removal tips
Whether you have been given the displeasure of grass, sweat, food or even blood stains; know there is always a stain removal technique to help.
How to remove grass stains
The parent of any sporting child knows the pain of grass stains all too well. What was once just presumed pointless trying to remove, now has tried and tested methods that will bring those horrible green marks out.
• Soak the stain in Vanish Gold Oxi Action. If the stain is still present after washing, dab with a 50-50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol, let the stain soak in the mixture. *Be careful with colours as this can sometimes cause the colour to run.
• If the above method doesn’t work – try soaking the grass stain in vodka and then dabbing gently with toothpaste. Wash as normal.
How to remove food stains
This includes food in general but more specifically tomato based products, spaghetti sauces and even pumpkin soup.
• Immediately rinse off excess food or sauce. Mix a small amount of dishwashing liquid and water on a sponge; dab until gone. *The most important thing is to act immediately! Wash as normal.
• If stain is left to set; spray with Vanish Napisan Oxi Action. Wash as normal.
How to remove orange juice stains
RUN – DO NOT WALK! It is crucial to act as quick as possible.
• Mix 1 part white vinegar with 2 parts warm water and gently scrub with a toothbrush or dab stain with mixture soaked cloth. Wash in cold water.
How to remove dirt stains
Whether your child has white uniforms, light coloured clothing or is a pro at making even stain tolerant colours brown; you don’t have to cry anymore!
• Spray with the above mentioned Vanish Napisan or preferred treating product and then soak in Vanish Gold Crystal White. Leave to soak for a couple of hours and then wash in hot water.
Unfortunately not every stain can be removed but by implementing these stain removal tips, you will be better prepared to remove common kids stains.

]]>The post Dyson V6 Absolute Review – Is It Worth The Money? appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Dyson V6 Absolute Review
Let’s face it, kids can turn your spotless house into something that resembles a cyclonic episode in a matter of minutes. I hope you enjoyed those sacred moments while they lasted!
I have always been a firm believer in children learning to pick up after themselves from a young age and as they grow, so do their responsibilities. It is not only beneficial for them but it also lightens the load on me. Is that lazy or smart? I’m going with genius, for now anyway!
Cleaning with kids
As the kids have grown they have each had an interest in vacuuming, I suppose it is because they see me doing it and want to be involved. Whatever the reason, I am not complaining. My only issue over the years has been that our vacuums have been too heavy for them to take control and do it solo. Until now…
For the past few weeks I have been basking in the glory of the new Dyson V6 Absolute vacuum cleaner. I was offered one to review and I am so glad I said yes! I have been a Dyson fan girl and owner for the past 8 years and I doubt I will ever stray from the brand. They have always done an impeccable job and I cannot fault them.
My house is approx. 70% tiles and 30% carpet; so having a vacuum that is light, easy and doesn’t require additional effort to transfer between the two is ideal. The Dyson V6 Absolute does exactly that in a small compact handheld vacuum. Like most homes; the kitchen, dining and living rooms are the high traffic areas that require constant attention (especially when there are kids inhabiting there). This handy little handheld makes it so convenient for quick tidy ups, spot cleans, once overs and if your home is small enough, possibly even your general clean.
Cleaner heads
The Dyson V6 Absolute comes standard with two Dyson-engineered cleaner heads. Using a combination of the two, they combat both large debris and fine dust, carpet and hard floors. I was so impressed with the amount of dirt and dust that this vacuum can pull from the carpets.
The fluffy cleaning roller is ideal for hard floors, including wood and tiles. The suction and seal created by the woven fibres sends the dirt and dust directly into the dust bin instead of having to backtrack a few times to ensure you got it all.
The direct drive motor head has bristles that drive deeper into the carpet allowing for better suction where it is most needed. This ultimately removes more dirt than you can even see in your carpet.
Battery life
Like most of the Dyson handhelds, the V6 Absolute offers up to 20 minutes run time on standard. If you require more power for a particular job, push the MAX button on the back for an extreme amount of suction. This will reduce you battery life to 6 minutes.
While this is not a huge duration of time, it is ample to get those tidy ups and spot cleans done with ease.
Cleaning and maintenance
Like all vacuums, they require some degree of cleaning or maintenance.
- For starters, the hygienic bin requires emptying. This can be done quickly and simply by pressing the button to release the dirt.
- There is one filter that requires cleaning. That is as easy to clean as pulling out of the top, washing under the tap and letting it dry before placing it back into position.
- Like all rotating cleaner heads; hair, string, etc. gets caught around it and should be removed before causing the performance to lag.
Performance
I could not be more impressed with how well this little machine works. I also love that it is light weight enough for the kids to use. This eliminates the need for me to have to constantly clean up after them, they can now pull out the Dyson V6 Absolute and tidy up their own messes. That’s a huge win in my book! Not to mention they think it is fun.
Extra tools
Like every Dyson, they come standard with a range of tools that are designed to make jobs around the home easier. From removing dust and dirt from hard-to-reach places around the home to cleaning tight spaces in the car, these tools have you covered.
The docking station allows you to store and charge your vacuum both conveniently and neatly. The dock also holds additional attachments.
I find I use this the most in our lounge rooms, living room, bathrooms, around the dining table and under the breakfast bar. Because of its versatility and ease of use, it is perfect for these regular clean ups. Click the link for more information on the Dyson V6 Absolute and its features. As you can see, I am a huge fan of this machine. If you can afford the $899 price tag, it is well worth the investment; particularly if someone in your home suffers from asthma or allergies. If this price is above your budget, there are Dyson V6’s for all floor types starting at $599.

]]>The post Vileda Premium 5 Mop System {Review} appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>For the past week I have been using the new Vileda Premium 5 Mop. I swapped out my usual mop for the purpose of reviewing this system and I don’t think I will be going back to my standard mop. We have a lot of tiles in our home and with 3 kids running around it gets beyond dirty, especially if I don’t vacuum or miss a day of mopping. This system is fuss free and very easy to use. The pads are interchangeable and allow you to swap between pads while the larger mop frame cuts down cleaning time by covering a wider surface area and it has an ergonomic telescopic handle which makes storing easy.
Vileda Premium 5
Each mop comes with 2 pads; one for dusting and sweeping and the other is for wet mopping. The dusting/sweeping pad picks up particles and provides a great dust free clean thanks to its finely looped microfibres. It is great for a number of flooring types – tiles, wooden floors, lino/vinyl and basically any other flat, smooth internal flooring. One thing that really stood out to me was the flat swivel head that allowed me to clean hard to reach places like under the fridge and dishwasher which is something I usually struggle with. I was really impressed with the result of this pad.
The microfibre mop pad provided a great streak free clean without the need for many chemicals, hot water and vinegar does the job. We have black tiles in our bathrooms and they show up every streak, drop of water and speck of dirt which is very unfortunate for me however the Vileda Premium 5 doesn’t leave a mark on it thanks to the fantastic Premium 5 Spin Wringer Bucket. This bucket allows you to wring out as much or little water as you like by simply placing the mop in the wring section and pushing your foot on the peddle. If you have little kids crawling around or just don’t have the time to wait for the floor to dry; this is the perfect option.
To see the Vileda Premium 5 Mop and and Spin wringer bucket in action watch this hilarious clip!
I’d love for you to become a fan of Vileda’s Facebook page. They offer product samples and the occasional giveaway on top of fantastic cleaning tips for everyday.

]]>The post Palmolive Divine Blends + GIVEAWAY appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>I think dishwashing detergent is a staple item in every household, even those with a dishwasher. Even though I do have a dishwasher I will often hand wash my dishes if there aren’t enough for at least half a load which is why I am constantly trying out new liquids to keep on hand. Not to mention they can be used for more than just dishes – cleaning other things, slip and slides, bubble paints, etc. Most recently I have been using the new Palmolive Divine Blends and I must say it comes with a unique aromatic experience to infuse your senses. The vanilla and berries are such a pleasant and welcomed change from the usual lemon scented dishwashing liquids; it is also available in Violet and Apple Blossom but I cannot comment on what this one smells like. I can say if the vanilla and berries is anything to gauge it by it will smell absolutely delicious.
It’s rich formula cuts through grease and leaves your dishes sparkling clean providing a delightful dishwashing experience, well as delightful as washing dishes can be. I love that the suds stay full and bubbly for the whole wash and a little bit of the liquid goes long a way making it great value for money. Available in leading supermarkets you can purchase the Palmolive Divine Blends Vanilla & Berries Dishwashing liquid (700ml) for $4.99 and the Palmolive Divine Blends Violet & Apple Blossom Dishwashing Liquid (375ml) for RR $3.49.

]]>The post How to have a spotless kitchen without using harsh chemicals appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>
When we decide to tackle the mess in our kitchens, we want it over and done with quickly and painlessly. This usually involves using the harshest chemical cleaning products in our arsenal to complete the job. However the use of these superior cleaning potions causes a myriad of health issues including skin irritation, asthma, fertility disorders and even cancer. Not to mention how light headed you feel after spending the good part of an hour in the oven with a chemical product wafting into every pore. These cleansers also have the ability to harm the environment by polluting the waterways. If you have children, is this really what you want them exposed to? I know I don’t! Luckily, there are some old fashioned and natural alternatives that if you don’t mind a little elbow grease, are just as effective as the super-tough cleaners you find at the supermarket. Here’s how to clean your kitchen the greener way.
Use Citrus to Cut Grease and Kill Bacteria
You may have noticed that many chemical based cleaners are laced with citrus for cleaning grease in the kitchen. As we now know, these products are not safe, but thankfully you can make your own alternative. Just by soaking orange or lemon peels in clear vodka or vinegar for a few weeks, then mixing it in with water when you are ready to use, you have you very own natural cleaner that will cut through that stovetop residue.
Vinegar and Water Joins To Make Your Windows Sparkle
Forget window cleaner, good old vinegar is back to help make your windows shine. It’s simple really, all you need to do is pour white vinegar and water into a bucket and you’ve just ensured yourself some streak free windows.
Baking Soda Fixes Everything
My Grandmother used to say that baking soda fixed everything, and she wasn’t wrong! Baking soda is a miracle cleaner that when mixed with water forms an alkaline liquid. This has the ability to cut through grease and dirt on virtually every surface. You don’t even have to mix it with anything to experience its cleaning power. Used in neat form, it is great for scrubbing through problem stains. However if you need that little bit of extra power, spray a little vinegar on the area for a bubble like effect that even the kids will love scrubbing off.
Make a Volcano in Your Drain
Once again, vinegar and baking soda save the day. We all know drains can get built up over time but the last thing we want is to pour harsh chemicals straight into our waterways. Instead, pour a quarter of a cup of baking soda into your drain followed by a cup of vinegar. Wait until the bubbling subsides and rinse with water.
Deodorize Your Home the Old Fashioned Way
While there’s always essential oils and perfumes to make your kitchen smell pretty, these ways often mask the smell instead of eradicating it. For a greener alternative, mix a teaspoon of cinnamon and any other delicious smelling spices you may have on your rack into a pot of boiling water. Leave and the aromas perform their magic.
Of course, if the job is too big or you are too busy to find the time to clean the entire kitchen, then leave it up to the experts AMC Australia , who specialise in natural cleaning alternatives. Happy cleaning!

]]>What Lurks Beneath: 3 Germs Currently Invading Your Kitchen
Our kitchens are an oasis of gastronomic possibilities, witnessing many of our trials, arguments, quiet breakdowns, pondering and failed experiments. They store memories of our lives in their cupboards and drawers, providing a sounding board for our first dessert triumphs or the completion of a 15 minute meal (though it beats me how anyone but Mr Oliver can cook those dishes so quickly), though for all of that, the humble kitchen is still subject to a host of harmful germs. As humanity develops antidotes and disinfectants for absolutely everything, it’s still best to wipe down your bench tops, wash the dishes and dispose of garbage, lest you create a plundering ground for these three bacteria surprises.
E. Coli
You may have heard of E.Coli (or as its mother calls it, eschericha coli), it’s a usually beneficial bacteria alive and kicking butt in the gut of many a mammal, including humans, preventing pathogens from infecting your intestine and assisting in the factory production of Vitamine K2. It sounds like a friendly, happy fellow, no? Ordinarily, you have nothing to fear from the e. coli family, though every unit has a black sheep and the strain O157:H7 (we know him as food poisoning) can have a butt kicking effect on anybody who is unlucky enough to ingest him. There are a few less common distance cousins to worry about, but we’ll focus on the H7 strain for now. Adults and older teenagers can usually shake off the effects of food poisoning completely in five to seven days, by drinking lots of water, eating unobtrusive meals and sleeping a lot; kids and the elderly are a different story, their immune systems are a bit weaker, so keep a close eye on them.
Salmonella
Almost everybody has enjoyed a run-in with the Salmonella strain at least once in their lives; associated with food poisoning (seems to be popular with the pathogenic crowd), salmonella attacks the elderly, young adults, children, adults, everyone really, though the extremity of its symptoms often relies on your current health status. After one recovers from the physical fun that isn’t salmonella (fatigue, vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration, cramps, fever and headache), the bacteria can still hang around for a matter of weeks in human waste, so rigorous hand-washing after using the toilet is a must. So how does one get salmonella? Chowing down on uncooked eggs, eating raw or badly cooked poultry, dishing out cross contaminated food, petting infected animals or touching hands with someone who doesn’t believe in post-bathroom washing. Salmonella can hang out anywhere really, from your counter tops and utensils, to deep within your dish washer; run the water giant through an empty cycle and clear out any unfriendliness before loading it up again.
Listeria
Considered one of the more serious pathogenic bacteria, listeria causes a bit of hysteria on the hospital floor, due to its invasive nature and truly debilitating effects. Also known as Listeria Monocytogenes, the infection is potentially very harmful, especially to pregnant mothers who run the chance of passing the illness onto their babies in-vitro. Though infection is rare next to e.coli and salmonella, listeria is everywhere in the world, surviving in harsh environments; by chance contamination of food stuffs are humans usually infected. Symptoms don’t pop up straight away, biding their time over a period of time, occasionally only appearing after a couple of months of hibernation; when it does hit, you’ll wish it hadn’t. It’s a hammer throw of fever, child, headaches, stiffness, light sensitivity, confusion, drowsiness, aches and pains, nausea and diarrhoea, and once infected, you’ll have to stay in hospital for a while to get rid of it, hooked up to an IV.
Have I inspired your to give your kitchen a good going over with a bottle of disinfectant and a fresh cloth? Good. Don’t forget to clean out your helpful devices too, that’s a rule that can be followed in all of your rooms from your Kitchens’ dishwasher to your laundries’ washing machine and make sure your fridge is the coldest it can be without freezing its contents.

]]>The post Suck it up! + Dyson Giveaway appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>So we all know that cleaning the house is one of those painstaking jobs that seem to be repeating like Groundhog Day, especially when there are children in the house. They always seem to attract dirt that instantly falls off the second they get inside and 9 times out of 10 it is on the carpet. Don’t even get me started on the sand – where does it comes from? We don’t have a sandpit or live near a beach! You may remember me talking about my love of Dyson DC24 Hepa and how well it sucks up the dirt from everywhere – well its life is unfortunately slowly coming to an end. I will be sad to see it go because it has been put through some tough times in its long life and has always come out the other side ready for its next run but it’s getting old and on its way out. Over the past 2 weeks I have been trialling 2 Dyson vacuum cleaners and geez have they come along way! Not saying they weren’t great before but technology has sure advanced. 2 lucky readers will also have the chance to trial one of these vacuum cleaners and receive a 20% discount if they wanted to purchase it after their trial.
The Dyson CineticTM DC54 is everything and more that I’d want in a vacuum cleaner! It contains no bags or filters which means no stuffing around and trying to remember to replace, purchase and clean anything – just empty when the hygienic bin is full and off you go again. My house is quite large and I have to empty it every 2nd time I vacuum which isn’t too bad. It is also very easy to empty; simply press a button and empty directly into your bin. When swapping from tiles to carpet there is no need to change over heads or modify anything, it works on all surfaces which is fantastic because it saves a few more seconds I’d otherwise spend cleaning. While this isn’t the smallest machine on the market it is very easy to manoeuvre around furniture and walls which is a must have when purchasing a pull along vacuum cleaner. My kids favourite part of the vacuum is of course the auto cord windup because our current vacuum is an upright so they have never experienced the joy from the cord winding itself up with the push of a button. Now the most important thing anyone wants to know when researching vacuums – DOES IT SUCK? Yes it does, even when the hygienic bin is full it doesn’t lose suction. The Dyson Cinetic™ is the only machine with no bags, no loss of suction, and no filter fuss. RRP: DC54 Animal Pro (RRP$1099), DC54 Animal (RRP$999), DC54 Allergy (RRP$899), DC54 Multi floor (RRP$799). Find the new Dyson Cinetic™ at www.Dyson.com.au.
The Dyson Digital Slim DC59 is a mean piece of equipment if you’re looking for something compact and cordless. It’s lightweight at only 2kg yet has been designed to provide the sucking power of a full size machine. I love how easy it is to manoeuvre into all the hard to reach places that are always painful to clean and since the new V6 motor has been designed specifically for this machine it is one and a half times more powerful than the previous version of the motor. I own a DC44 which has the previous motor and there is so much difference. While mine works great for what I use it for the DC59 is a clear winner if I were looking to purchase another cordless. I love this machine for quick tidy ups because it is simply quicker than plugging in the big vacuum for a small mess. The battery lasts for 20 minutes which is more than sufficient for what I have been using it for however for anything more than that I would use a mains vacuum cleaner because I couldn’t vacuum my whole house in 20 minutes. The latest Dyson Digital Slim™ DC59 vacuum is lightweight, cordless, and packs the same power as a mains vacuum cleaner. RRP $649 for the Animal model and $599 for the Multi floor. Find the new Dyson Digital Slim at www.Dyson.com.au.

]]>The post 5 Ways to Clean With Vinegar appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Vinegar is one of the most versatile products you can use and it’s also one of the most underused. Not only does it clean well, it also vastly cuts down on the work you’ll otherwise have to do. Here are some handy ways you can use vinegar, as well as a few other household products to wipe down, deodorize and purify most of your house. It’s amazing how you can make it look like a business like AMC Commercial Cleaning has been to visit with the aid of a simple chemical.
Wiping and Basic Cleaning
By just soaking a cloth with undiluted white distilled vinegar and wiping down countertops you can get rid of the worst of the mess as well as any stink. In addition by adding a couple of teaspoons of salt to a teaspoon of distilled vinegar you can make a paste that will clean even the most stubborn build-ups of grease and lime off countertops and sinks.
Refrigerators
By soaking a cloth in half water and half vinegar you can get rid of the basic grim in the walls and shelves of the fridge, as well as getting rid of any rotting food odours that will have accumulated. If you’re going to the grime at the top of the fridge, don’t worry, vinegar has you covered there too, get rid of the water and just use full strength vinegar on a cloth to cut through like a hot knife through butter.
Regularly Touched Surfaces
Ever think about how many hand have been on your doorknob? Or keyboard? Or any second hand product you pick up? Think about it, then how many other things they will have touched before this. Grossed out yet? Fear not. Just spray a good spritz of vinegar onto the doorknobs and wipe them dry to get rid of the history.
Grills Stovetops and Microwaves
This part boils down to simplicity itself, just spritz some vinegar onto the affected surface and before it gets dry scrub the dirty parts vigorously. Everything should come right off with only a little difficulty and you’ll be ready to cook. You may want to consult someone for the exact amounts and possible mixtures of vinegar for this one, as it is right next to food.
Odours
Adding a wipe down of vinegar to any cleaning process is a great way to get rid of any ingrained smells. Wipe down the walls with it to get rid of that mildewy mouldy smell. When you’re dealing with the smell of an oven being cleaned add a vinegar wipe down to the walls to mask that awful odour. Vinegar will leave the worst smelling paces in your home fresh and give you a real sense of clean.
There are dozens more things vinegar can be used to clean. A full list would take pages upon pages. Suffice to say that if you need almost anything cleaned, vinegars going to be a part of the process.

]]>The post Dettol Is Multi-Purpose + GIVEAWAY appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Dettol is something I always have in my home and I’m sure most other families are the same. I use it often for many different things. I mop the floors with it when someone has the flu, I have a bubble bath with a good amount of Dettol in it as it makes me feel better when I’m sick or for the kids if they’ve come of their bikes and grazed themselves and of course I use just prior to putting on bandaids. One thing I never thought of buying is Dettol cleaning products. I don’t know why it never crossed my mind as it is obviously good for cleaning/killing germs and I already use the Dettol soap and hand sanitiser.
When I heard that Dettol had a new cleaning rang I wanted to give it go as it is a trusted brand and with a new baby in the house I don’t want too many germs getting around. Some are good but with 2 school aged boys it’s like having giant germs on legs. I have been using two different Dettol products for the past couple of weeks; the Power & Pure Multi Purpose spray and the Dettol Power & Pure Multi Purpose Kitchen wipes. Both of these products work great and make cleaning easier by cutting through grease, soap scum and dirt. I love that I can use these products on practically everything in my home and there is no need to rinse it clean after wiping. I did find that with the disposable Dettol wipes if you push/scrub harder it makes lots of bubbles which initially I wasn’t a fan of but then I realised it means I get more use out of the wipe as the cleaning liquid goes further. The same goes for the spray – a little spray goes a long way.
