Update: This giveaway is now closed.
I don’t know about you, but I’m ALWAYS itching to clean out my house once Fall rolls around (not only the clutter, but the dust-bunnies too). Maybe it’s because the weather is finally a bit cooler so I don’t sweat like crazy, or maybe it’s because the lazy days of Summer are gone and I realize that it’s probably time to get back to work. Whatever the reason, you are much more likely to find me deep cleaning in the Fall than in the Spring.
So far, I’ve already deep cleaned the nursery, our bedroom, our bathroom, the garage, and the storage room upstairs. Once our kitchen is finished, I’ll tackle the rest of the house.
And even though I’m one of those weird people who actually enjoys an afternoon of cleaning, I still don’t like to waste time looking for my supplies… or waste space storing my supplies.
I’ve already shared a bit about my ultra-simple bathroom cleaning routine, but when it comes to the rest of the house, I have a relatively simple routine there too.
I’ve been using the Unger cleaning products for over a year now and absolutely love how quick, simple, and easy they are to use… not to mention, space-saving!
One of my favorite things about the Unger products is the Tele-Pole. There are a few different types of poles, but you just need ONE and you can quickly and easily attach ALL the different cleaning “heads” via the threaded end. That means you can save loads of space!
And if you’re wondering what type of attachements Unger has… let me just list a few:
- 3 different window cleaning attachements
- 9 different dusting attachements
- 4 different brush attachements
- an adjustable gutter-cleaning attachement
- and lots more!
My second favorite thing about the Under product line is their Microfiber Specialty Cloths. Not only are they machine washable (which means reusable) they are also specifically designed to work well WITHOUT chemical cleaners. One works for stainless steal surfaces, another is for glass, another for dusting, and the forth one is simply an all-purpose cloth.
So as you can imagine, I can pretty much clean everything in my entire house (besides the laundry) with these products.
And since I know new cleaning products are always a great incentive to do a little deep cleaning, I’m super excited that Unger is giving away EIGHT of their brand new Connect and Clean Kits available exclusively at Target.com.
Side note: I absolutely love the “wineberry” color of these products… and wouldn’t this set make a fabulous wedding, shower, or house-warming gift?

Our breakfast nook is the hardest for me to keep clean with three little ones – and if I do get it clean it doesn’t last long!
Melissa says

All of the moldings – baseboards, crown molding, etc, etc, etc.
Jessi @ Practically Functional says
Oh my goodness, those look fabulous! Our living room is a horrible dusty mess right now. I keep walking by and pretending I don’t see how much dust is on our bookshelves and entertainment center, but really, I should just clean it!
Shannon Smith says

We have a living area with high ceilings that is begging for a good scrubbing!
Su says
I would say the garage needs the most attention right now. ugh
kate says
I’ve been looking for a good window squeegie. I cleaned windows the other day and the streaks of outside grime drives me insane. I feel like I’m washing the same window 3 or 4 times before they’re clean. a few more windows to go to let in that nice sunrise! The living room needs a good dusting right now too.
Holly Fieger says
Fan blades and baseboards! What a great idea this is-it would take up much less space than the current items I have (so hence, would also aid in further organization!) ๐
Deb says
The cobwebs around the vaulted ceiling in my apartment – have nothing that will reach!
Melanie says
Our bathrooms.

Sarah says
Bathrooms…
Rebecca K. says
I would say the floors at my house are in the most desperate need of cleaning – especially the baseboards and the corners! Ugh! Thanks for your wonderful tips, site, and giveaway!
Tracey says
I’d have to say the ceiling fans (we have five), as well as anything else in the house above head/shoulder level. I’m not exactly sure what a cob is (!) but our house seems to be overrun lately with cobwebs and dust on the higher surfaces. This cleaning set will be just the ticket!
Carol says
I follow you on facebook!
Carol says
Kitchen is my hardeest to keep clean because it is the room that everybody uses constantly.
Tiffany says
Ugh, our office needs cleaning. We’re storing everything we took out of the soon to be nursery and stored it here. It’s driving me insane.
