A Perfect Cleaning Caddy

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!

I did something this morning that I didn't see myself doing with this blog.... yup, we now have a Facebook Page people! If you are a reader and want to stay up to date on posts with the most easily accessible social media outlet out there, head over to our page and hit that little LIKE button! We all know we can't stay away from Facebook, no matter how hard we try. She always seems to suck us back in. Okay... back to the even more exciting news...

I cannot believe that we are already this far through the year and that Christmas is tomorrow! I don't know where the rest of the year went... but wherever it went, it went there quickly. We are all now in a hurry-scurry moment to get our houses cleaned and organized before our friends, family, and loved ones arrive for all of the festivities. I'm tackling my holiday cleaning with something I have been looking for what feels like months! A brand new, pretty little cleaning caddy!

I searched high and low for months to find a cleaning caddy with dividers for my Method Cleaner bottles (have you looked into Method cleaners? They're natural based and smell amazing! No more cleaning with bleach!) I finally found this beauty at a home goods store near my house, and it was the only one left! Whyyyy!! Why must you torment me so?!

I bought my 3 cleaners that I use in my every day cleaning routines... Method Daily Ylang Ylang Shower Cleaner, the Method Mint Glass and Surface Cleaner, and the Pink Grapefruit All-Purpose Natural Cleaner... and let me tell you, it smells amazing!

I also invested in some microfiber cleaning clothes. The pack came with 9 cloths, 3 of which are these mirror cleaners that are AMAZING for leaving a streak-free shine! Those who live in glass houses... you should get some.

Right before the big move I bought the house a new stainless steel toilet bowl brush; but I have to admit that whether this thing is rinsed off afterward or not, it still kind of grosses me out that we're keeping the thing we just scrubbed our poo with next to the shower... it was time to go. Instead, I got the Scotch-Brite Toilet Brush Kit and a set of refills, and they were even on sale!

Next on my list was my cleaning printable. Yes, we did just create this about a month ago, but I got over eager as usual and felt that it needed a little more pizazz! So I increased the size and gave it a pretty floral background that gives me the added color I was looking for. It still needs to be laminated to protect it from getting damaged by water and cleaners, and then it'll be thrown on a a clipboard to carry in my tote. I love it!

Next it was time to put everything together. I nestled my cleaning bottles into their news homes, where the fit perfectly in each of the spots. I then added to the large compartment my pair of Mr. Clean rubber gloves, my microfiber cleaning cloths, and the handle to scrubber. I leave all of the "toilet bowl" attachments under my bathroom sink since I am using this caddy for all of my current cleaning, instead of just in the bathroom. Once I find another caddy similar to this one, that will change. Any ideas where to find one by the way?

Once everything was put together, it was time to add the finishing touches. I found some wooden letters that I had on hand (since I no longer have my Cricuit Machine... *crocodile tear*) and painted them with my gold painters pens. I used my mounting putty to put a pretty little label on the side, just to make my heart that much warmer with this little project.

Now that I have my completed and fully stocked cleaning caddy, I am such an eager beaver to begin my daily cleaning! It's so much more manageable to have everything together in a single spot, and it makes me cleaning paws happy to reach into the cabinet and grab this thing at the end of each day. The caddy was more than worth the wait! I can't wait to find more!
