The Easiest Way to Keep Your House Clean? Assemble a DIY Cleaning Kit! Here’s How!

We’re always looking for the best ways to share with you for making your homes sparkle and killing germs, but we’ll admit that all of the valuable information out there can be as overwhelming as it is helpful. One thing that always gives us pause: what cleaning tools do we REALLY need to have on hand all the time? Sometimes all the cleaning tips and DIY cleaners out there can make it seem like we need at least 50, but we’re happy to tell you that is NOT the case. What you actually need is really basic, and helping us narrow it all down is our favorite cleaning friend, Clean My Space. Watch her tell us what we need and WHY, then read on for our check-list!
