Real Life, Real Products that WORK

After our toddler had a creative moment on the walls, white couch, floors and switches we did what anyone would do. We panicked. I had a glass of wine, or two. We slept on it. And then I reminded myself, “We planned for this.”

Thankfully, I keep our cabinets stocked with my personal ride-or-die cleaning products that have truly become lifesavers. Mrs. Meyers Cleaning Spray is a favorite of mine—it’s like the goldilocks of cleaners: not too harsh, not too gentle, but just right for our surfaces. We chose eggshell paint instead of flat finishes to give our walls a bit more protection, and semi-gloss for the paneling to add a touch of shine and durability. This combo makes Mrs. Meyers Cleaning Spray our go-to for everything from a speedy wipe-down to a thorough scrub. It’s our secret to maintaining that just-cleaned look and feel, without having to sacrifice style for substance.

Their convenience means we can effortlessly keep high-touch areas like doorknobs and light switches sparkling clean and germ-free—because who has time for fuss when there are more important things to do, like sipping coffee and admiring your perfectly polished countertops?
