No one likes the word. In fact every time you hear them, I bet you crinkle your nose at the thought of them. ALLERGIES. There I said it! I do not personally suffer from them, however, I grew up with a brother with extreme allergies. We had to clear the house of as many allergens as possible. This was obviously an ongoing process as allergens always sneak up on you in the most inconspicuous places of your home. This can often be overwhelming. I am excited to announce that my friends at Lysol are here to help. Lysol Community is now here to provide you with information about allergens and how to allergen-proof your home. They have also created several instructional videos giving you tips on how to best keep your home allergen free!! How awesome is that? Head Lysol® Microbiologist Joe Rubino and nationally-renowned Pediatrician Dr. Laura Jana give us valuable information as they go through each room of the house and discuss ways to Allergy-Proof your home. You can check out their great information video below which also includes links to videos for allergy-proofing each room of your home. Definitely check it out!

No matter what we do in life. Whether we work in an office, teach 30 elementary school students, or stay at home with our kids, we set goals for ourselves. We set our vision, then our goals to help reach that vision, and from there make a list of how to go about accomplishing those goals. When it comes to A Clean manor, we want to bring you tips that not only help you stay clean and organized on a daily basis, but that also help you reach goals that you haven't reached before. Accomplishing the smallest goals is often very rewarding and it allows us to reach for bigger and better goals. We have taken some time to set some realistic goals for ourselves over the past few months. This will only help in bring YOU the best and quickest cleaning and organizing tools we have to offer.
Today, we'll start with a product review. First of all, I have been eyeing up this product for several years! I just had a feeling that this cleaning product was NOT going to disappoint. Let me just say that I was correct. I received the Shark Vac Then Steam as a Christmas gift from none other than my mother! I'm sure no one is surpised. Now, I am NOT a person that gets upset at receiving this type of gift as a present. Oh no way. I was extremely excited. So excited in fact that I will post a picture of myself receiving it. Do you see the excitement on my face? The Shark Vac Then Steam is a great tool for cleaning up messy hard surfaced floors. To begin you can vacuum up the bits and pieces of crumbs that are left on the floor. In my home we own hard wood floors. I simply plug in the vacuum and suck it all up! You can then empty the container of dirt right into the trash can. But, I have to be honest. The next part is my favorite. You then attach the steam-cleaning pad and add water. Simply turn the switch and watch the steam begin to flow out of the Shark! It's amazing. I mop my entire floor using my Shark Mop. It steam cleans the floor and I love the job it does! The pads used to clean the floor can then go into the washing machine to be cleaned! How great is that? I then unplug, wrap it all up, and the nice and light vacuum is stored right in my laundry room. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Now, I will admit the price on the Shark Vac and Steam is a little higher, however, if you are an avid Kohl's shopper like me, you can find it on sale. In fact, it is on sale right now for 40 dollars off the original price. Plus you can use your Kohl's coupons and get even a better deal! Wowza. That's all I can say. I love having my floors clean. I love not ALWAYS having to get on my hands and knees and still feeling like it does a good job (yes I still do it on my hands and knees every once in a while for that extra shine). If you have any questions at all feel free to ask and if you own any other Shark products I'd love to hear about them!

When a friend showed me this ADORABLE 10 pc. cleaning Trolley with working vacuum for kids I simply had to share it with you! My daughter loves to help mommy clean around the house and I love teaching her all about it.

We must apologize for our absence these past few weeks!! Tami is once again back to work and as many of you know, going back to school means adjusting to a whole new schedule (and way of life!!). I think we are finally back on track after a few weeks of being a little hazy and very tired. Much caffeine was required!! We couldn't go any longer without sharing this great recipe with you!
Recently I was talking to my sister-in-law, and I was sharing with her a little about our blogging adventures. I was telling her about the homemade detergent & glass cleaner; well, she said that she makes her own antibacterial cleaning wipes! So, of course, we had to make some and share the results with you. I did try it (both anti-bacterial & the bleached wipes), and I really do like them; plus they are so much cheaper! You can buy generic wipes at most super stores. However, I didn't make it to our local super store. I bought my wipes at a local store called Marc's (generic - 80 wipes for $1.79/each). Most small generic tubs of antibacterial wipes are only 45 wipes and with no coupon cost over $2.00! Here is the exact recipe from Pamela, my sister-in-law. Try it and let us know what you think!
ANTIBACTERIAL WIPES
The best value and the thickest cloth that I have found is the Value brand from Walmart. You can experiment with what you like best. This is a money saver, because there are many more wipes in the baby container.
1. Fill the container with water and let the wipes soak for 10 minutes.
2. Drain the water, take the wipes out, and squeeze them dry. Then repeat this process.
3. When the "baby wipe smell" is gone, remove the wipes from the container and set to the side.
4. Fill the container 1/3 of the way with water.
5. Add 1/4 cup of all purpose anti-bacterial cleaner. I used Mr. Clean but generic would work as well.
6. Mix the water and cleaner, and then put the wipes back in.
7. Let these soak overnight, and then drain the extra fluid.
8. The wipes are ready to use.
*I also make bleach wipes using 2 tbsps of bleach instead of cleaner. You can also make windex wipes using Windex with the same process!
