I will never forget the day my daughter absolutely unloaded in marker on the walls of our beautiful 1885 Victorian Home. It was (at the time) our biggest and most extravagant project to date. We dug out the basement, put on an addition, navigated with historic landmarks, salvaged architectural details, installed steel beams. The full monty.

And then, one week before we were meant to list our home for sale, my daughter colored all over the walls, couch, carpet and hardwood flooring with marker. I. Couldn’t. Believe. It.

Fortunately, over the years I’ve developed an army of cleaning products, stain protectants and spot cleaners to help keep our home as beautiful as possible (which comes in handy when you have toddlers! Here are a few of my favorite cleaning products, sealants and more.

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.
