Using Dollar Tree's LA's Totally Awesome

Welcome back friends and family. Did you know that Dollar Tree's LA's Totally Awesome brand has a ton of products for your home?  There is everything from the original cleaner (yellow stuff in the bottle) to laundry detergent to bathroom cleaner.  I just got some of the original cleaner last weekend and I've got to tell you it is totally awesome. 


                            (This is a stock photo taken from Dollar Tree's website.)

I did some checking around and have found that this can be purchased at other retailers and other online store but it is more expensive and you get less product. This bottle here is $1.25 for 32 Fl. Oz. Or 12 for $15.00.  You can get 2 bottles of the exact same thing on Amazon but they are currently $10 but it was $14.99.  I love Amazon and shop online all the time but why pay $5 when I can pay $1.25?  Again I love to save money and do things with as little cost, dollar wise, as possible. Yet another reason to love and shop at Dollar Tree.


Ok now on to how amazing this stuff is but, first, I have a confession to make........I HATE cleaning. I struggle to find motivation and I also have a difficult time staying on task. For example, I start cleaning the kitchen and find something that belongs in another room, I got put it up, realize I hadn't finished doing something in that room, then realize I need to do laundry or whatever and never finish anything. I know I'm not the only one who does this but it is so frustrating. So, when I picked this up I was super excited to clean something, anything and just knew I'd at least finish cleaning that thing. I got home and started trying to figure out what to do first. How about something I knew had not been properly cleaned in a long time....oh I know, the vents above my stove.  I hadn't cleaned them in years so I figured that would be a great place to start. Here is what my vents looked like before I soaked them. 


Gross right?  Years of gunk and grease built up. So what I did was put 2 caps of LA's Totally Awesome Original Cleaner in a sink of hot water. Put my vents (there's 2 of them) in the sink to soak. After about 2 minutes I used a sponge (also from DT) and gently rubbed to see what would happen. Here is a picture of it after the 2 minute mark. 

A huge difference right?  I was completely blown away. Why did I wait so long to try this out?  I decided to wait another few minutes the see if they would be even easier to clean   So after a total of 5 minutes, I wiped again with my sponge and it's a complete difference. Very little scrubbing, I did use a toothbrush (an old one, come on I'm not that crazy) to get in the little cracks and crevices. And just like that it's all shiny and new looking. Just see for yourself. 

Talk about some good motivation to keep cleaning. Forget all those high priced cleaning products. I've never had any of it clean as well or as quickly as LA's Totally Awesome Original Cleaner. One of my favorite things about it is that there was no harsh chemically smell. Another great thing is there is no ammonia so it's safe to clean cat litter boxes too.                                  
                               Here's another stock photo from Dollar Tree. 
This shows the list of stuff you can clean with it and the amount of solution to water ratio to clean said thing. I'm sure there are many more uses for this and can't wait to try some. 

I am hoping that I will continue to be motivated to keep using this wonderful cleaning product. I did clean my microwave, sink, cabinets and fridge doors with this as well that same day. I felt very accomplished and my ktchen looked great (I have kids remember). Haha. 

I think this product would be fantastic for anyone who owns a cleaning service. You can purchase a case of 12 bottles for $15.00 and have it shipped directly to your local store for free. Can't beat that deal for a concentration of cleaning solution that could clean an entire house or office with a couple caps of product. 

Happy cleaning friends. Please  leave me a comment on your favorite uses of this great product or if you've had a bad experience with it, share that too. I'd love to hear from you.

Small Spaces are a Challenge Sometimes

 Welcome back friends and family. Have you ever gone online searching for organizational tips for small spaces?  I have many times over the years.  I absolutely hate when I go online and search for organization tips and such for small spaces and get these posts promising that and see they've got big walk in pantries or a lot of cabinets space or whatever.  Does this annoy you also?   I love my home, don't get me wrong, but it has very little in the way of cabinets, or storage space in general.  My kitchen has exactly 7 cabinets and 2 are only about 6 inches wide.  I had no pantry at all until my sweet husband bought me a storage cabinet to put in the kitchen.  So when I try to organize any of my spaces it drives me crazy cause I have so many ideas but can not implement any of them because of space.  Oh, and I should also mention, my laundry room is in the kitchen too.  This is not a how to or DIY post. This is more of a this is what...

Keep Those Teeth and Bathrooms Clean

 Welcome back friends and family.  I wanna share this great idea with you all.  We all share the bathroom in our house.  We have a second "master bath" but it's no bigger than a closet and there is no room to get ready in there.  We only use it for the shower.  So this family of 4 shares one bathroom to get ready in the morning.  Fortunately for us, we all have different schedules and are not all trying to get in the bathroom all at the same time.  One of my pet peeves is the amount of yuck when it comes to teeth brushing.  There is the waste of using paper cups, or using the same cup over and over again (YUCK), the spit being on the counter, toothpaste somehow being on the wall and floor, the mouthwash spilling everywhere.  I decided enough was enough.  I found that if you put the mouthwash in a soap dispenser and use 6 pumps it dispenses the perfect amount of mouthwash and there is no spilling.  I found the soap dispenser at ...
