My favorite household products---

First I purchased the Dyson pet vac from ebay. I didn't see any significance in improvement over the vac I paid 90 bucks for @ Target. As long as you keep your filters clean you shouldn't have any problems with a cheaper vac.

I have 2 North States XT pet pen, I bought two of them @ a children's resale consignment shop for 26 bucks each. These products are also marketed for children. You may be able to find them used in the paper and on ebay. They run 72 bux or more if you buy them in a pet store or on a pet site. You can get them as low as 59 bucks if they are marketed for children in stores like babies r us or on parenting oriented web sites. I use it inside and outside for containment. They are plastic, they can be washed with a hose, and are very collapsable for storage. They are awesome especially if you can get them cheap. http://www.pet-collars.com/buy-672726.aspx

I just recently purchased the Hoover spin steam cleaner. I didn't go ultra big bucks with the one with the built in heater. I purchased the one you fill with hot water. I love this product. When I used it with the Hoover carpet Cleaner solutions for pet stains and odors the cleaning was OUTSTANDING!!!!
If you can catch one on sale or on Ebay I would suggest it whole heartedly.

The Arm and Hammer pet carpet deoderizer...regular sprinkle stuff is AWESOME. I love the scent and it works. I sprinkle it down before I got to bed and vacuum it up when I get home the next evening from work.

I use the Clorox anti-bacterial wipes for the litter boxes. When I clean the boxes I wipe the sides just to keep control of odors.

My favorite litter for 3+ cats is Tidy cat heavy clumping multi cat. I also use the Tidy Cat box deodorizer.

I am a fabreez FAN. I love it and I use it.
What products do you use to keep your house clean and fresh?

1. I have never thought of using the Clorox wipes for the litter box.

Great idea!!

I also am a Febreze and Tidy Cat box deodorizer fan.

I use the Renuzit Vacuum Free Carpet Freshening Foam in Wonder Pet. It also, supposidely protects against soil and stains.

I also love the "pet hair eraser" thing. I have one from Rennaisance
Hardware and one from PetsMart. It is a big yellow rubber thing that just rolls up the pet hair when it is rubbed over a pet hair covered surface.

2. Oh yeah, that rubber square sponge brick thing is AWESOME!

I love that thing.

Yeah, the wipes are great. They help between the box washing, plus with them right there near the box I can't procrastinate as easily as I'd like.

3. For Aroma alone--Caldera Products are incredible

Plus they get things really clean.

I use the all purpose cleanser diluted for almost everything. The Lavender Pine is addictive. If diluted into spray bottles I find it to be of comparable cost to other cleaners plus it has the benefit of being earth friendly.

The Pineapple Nutmeg (only available at Christmas) is amazing. I buy the liquid hand soap and hand lotion every year. I wish they would come out with a perfume.

The Green tea Patchouli is very fragrant and lends a warming feeling to the house when I use it on the floors.

My favorite for spring is the White Clover which spells just like fresh hay and clover. Fabulous!


I'm totally addicted to these products
