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?

My kitchen floor!
Sarah M. says
It would be our enclosed front porch getting the super cleaning. With high ceilings there and in the whole house the extension poles would be great!
Amy L says
I like SOL on FB
Amy L says
The whole house needs a good clean! So hard to find time with 2 little ones at home ๐
Wendy says
I would definitely tackle my living/kitchen/family room area (open concept). Those dusting and ceiling fan attachments as well as the cobweb one and those microfiber cloths would get a LOT of use in this area! I already like SOL and Unger
Megan says
I hate to admit it, but with a 3-week old, a 3-year old, and a 5-year old who just started Kindergarten (and therefore very little sleep), my whole house could use some good cleaning. Although, the bathrooms are probably the worst!
Debra Schramm says
It’s a tie between ceiling fans and cobwebs near the ceiling. How could I have missed these products at Target? If I don’t win I’ll definitely purchase them.
Tari says
Dusting is something that I fight. I dust and the next day there is more. I don’t want to dust very day. Once or twice a week would be nice.

We just moved and still unpacking boxes – everything needs cleaning after unpacking!
julianne says
the kitchen! i have lived in my apartment for about 2 years and have not cleaned behind the fridge and pantry in that time :-/
sarah says
After the dry, dusty summer we’ve had, my ceiling fans are pretty icky… my least favorite cleaning task. Maybe it won’t be so bad with this cleaning system.
Kathy says
I really enjoy your site and hope I win!
Erin says
Just had my leaky bathroom fixed. This would be great for cleaning up.
Linda R. says
can i admit that it’s a toss up between my kitchen and bathroom? (dramatic sigh). they are both the 2 rooms that i have yet to do over and never ever look clean even if they are.
Michele says
Like both Unger and your site on FB! And I love cleaning supplies (my husband thinks I’m nuts for that!)
Connie K. says
My family room really needs a good cleaning. Thank you for the chance to win.
L.L. says
I ‘like” u on facebook already and now I ‘liked’ Unger.
L.L. says
The room that could use the most cleaining now is the kitchen.
Crystal says
Basically any flat surface in my home. I HATE dusting but this set looks so cool maybe I’d learn to love it!
Karen D. says
Our office always needs to be cleaned. Between my husband and the dog camping out in here – it could use a cleaning every day!
Carolyn says
I like you on Facebook.
Carolyn says
My living room could use the most deep cleaning. I work at home and my office is at the opposite end of the house. By the time work is over and I’ve made dinner and cleaned up and gotten everything else done on my to-do list for the day, I barely have time to walk in there, much less clean it! Thanks for the giveaway!
Bridget says
Just LIKE”D” ya!
Bridget says
Hi! My kitchen and mudroom, which are connected, need cleaning! Its the busiest part of our house, especially for our kids and dogs. And of course its my favorite place! I spend most of my time here cooking, crafting, computing and talking with my family and friends. I’d love to have these cleaning helpers to give this area some good old TLC. I love the fact that these items don’t require harsh cleaning agents.
Thanks!
Tina says
stairwell has cobwebs that I can’t reach! ๐
Susan Hummell says
My quilting room definitely needs the most cleaning.
Elizabeth garofalo says
My family room has high ceilings and I need to get those cobwebs!
Jennifer says
behind the TV!
Darlene R. says
I already like (love) you on Facebook.
Dawn dk says
My multipurpose room downstairs.
Darlene R. says
I would use it in the bedrooms, they’ve been a little neglected lately.
Stacy says
Our family room needs deep cleaned..my son’s room would also benefit.
Tracy Y. says
My 24 ft. high windows need cleaning. Want to help? I know these products would be very handy!!!!
Stacey says
I think every room could use a cleaning right now!! Every since I had twins 2 years ago my cleaning and organizing has just not been the same.. after going through ALL their clothes to sell or donate everything is thrown everywhere! But If I had to pick I would say our master bedroom (stuff always gets thrown in there and close the door!)
Margo says
I need to get behind the furniture to clean the baseboards.
Hannah says
Kitchen, its the busiest place in our home ๐
JennyA says
The second BR has turned into the messy room! I would luv to win this giveaway….
