For me the week between Christmas and New Years is all about cleaning and purging and getting ready to start the new year off on the right foot. With the Wednesday holidays this year it seems I have less time to clean than usual but I’m getting started today and as long as I make progress I’ll be happy.

Since I am a long time Swiffer fan I was excited to try the new Swiffer BISSELL® SteamBoost for my pre-holiday cleaning. The Swiffer BISSELL® SteamBoost is a steam mop that deeply penetrates dirt and helps remove messes mops can leave behind. Fill it with water, attach a Steam Pad and plug it in. No other cleaning solutions are needed.

I am sad to report that the Swiffer BISSELL® SteamBoost did not live up to my expectations. It produced very little steam and was unable to clean marks off my vinyl flooring that my Swiffer Wet Jet cleaned with no problem. While using the Swiffer BISSELL® SteamBoost my floor became very wet but it didn’t get clean. My guess is if you are using a regular mop to clean your floors, the Swiffer BISSELL® SteamBoost would do a better job because steam cleans better and the disposable pads are cleaner than re-using a regular mop head.

While you are in holiday clean-up mode make sure you put all of your decorations and nick-knacks away clean. Dust them before packing them away so you can avoid a bigger mess when you take your decorations out next year.

It has finally started to cool off a bit here in west central Florida, today’s high should only be about 86! We have actually had the windows open the last few mornings and once the fresh air starts swirling through the house, my thoughts turn to fall cleaning. I like to do a deep cleaning in October so that the big jobs are done and out of the way before the holidays hit.

For us, deep cleaning means cleaning the hard-to-reach items like ceiling fans, draperies and air conditioning vents that don’t get done in my weekly cleaning. Last month when I was at Type-A Con I got to check out the BISSELL Powerglide with Lift-off Technology and that is one sweet vacuum! It is powerful yet lightweight enough to tackle your home’s biggest messes. I love that this vacuum features the lift-off pod, crevice tool and swivel steering to make cleaning stairs and hard-to-reach places easier than ever before.
