Scott's Liquid Gold and Clean Screen GIVEAWAY! 2/1

1/7/2013

My home is almost 100 years old, and has a lot of gorgeous, original hardwood. Much of the house has hardwood floors, and we also have great built-in bookshelves, original doors from the 1920's, and a lot of wood trim. We love the amount of character that all of the wood gives our home, but we realize that it requires proper maintenance to keep it looking beautiful.

Not all wood cleaners are created equal. Not by a long shot, actually. Many wood cleaning products leave wood vulnerable to warping, cracking, and fading due to the fact that they're watered down and contain waxes or silicones which over time, can harm the wood they're supposed to be preserving. A lot of wood cleaners also leave behind a gross residue that end up making wood appear dull and dirty.

That's why I love the products from Scott's Liquid Gold. This American company has been around for 60 years, and they are committed to bringing only the highest quality of products into the homes of their customers. They offer a wide range of products that are designed specifically to clean, polish, and bring back the original splendor of wood. Whether it be hardwood floors, kitchen cabinets, or even coffee tables and other furniture, these products do their job well, while remaining gentle to the wood.

We use the Scott's Liquid Gold Wood Cleaner on our cabinets, and it takes away all the greasy, grimy nastiness that builds up over time. I think the old lady who owned our home before didn't clean her cabinets often, because the difference after using this product the first time was like night and day. Our cabinets are shiny and the wood looks absolutely amazing now. This product is wonderful, and a single application not only brings back the original color and shine of the wood, it also lessens the appearance of nicks and scratches.

For my wood floors, I use the Scott's Liquid Gold Wood Wash Concentrate. This product is mixed in a bucket with warm water, and you simply mop your floors as usual. The results are clean, shiny, gleaming floors. A little bit goes a long way, so one bottle of Wood Wash will last quite a long time.

For cleaning and dusting our dressers, coffee tables, and end tables, we use the Scott's Liquid Gold Dust 'n Go wipes. These come in a handy canister and remove dust and grime with a single swipe. They leave our furniture looking great, and they're just so convenient to use. No sprays, no rags...Just a wipe. Pretty ingenious, if you ask me!

In addition to fantastic products for all of your wooden surfaces, the folks at Scott's Liquid Gold also have a great system to help keep all of your TV, computer, and electronic screens clean. Their Clean Screen products are a must-have, in my opinion. Clean Screen comes in 2 versions: the Original Clean Screen, which is great for televisions and computers, and Little Clean Screen, which can be used on cell phones, tablets, and more. We even use this on our toddlers' InnoTabs and MobiGos!

Formulated with a Reverse Osmosis (RO) solution water treatment technology that removes molecules of mineral deposits and impurities smaller than the water molecules themselves, Scott's Liquid Gold Clean Screen leaves nothing behind but a crystal clear clean. The microfiber cloth, used to apply Clean Screen, is soft, lint-free, highly absorbent and quick drying. It cleans without scratching delicate surfaces and is washable and reusable.

I would definitely recommend Scott's Liquid Gold products for all of your wood (and screen!) cleaning needs. These products are gentle, effective, and are a step above the competition. If you try them, I guarantee you'll notice the difference immediately.

Start now! People call it spring cleaning. It's a daily thing.

I never do "Spring Cleaning" I've been using the FLY LADY system for about 8 years.

1/7/2013 05:29:20 pm

On our windows I use ammonia & water with a bit of vinegar for no streaking. Also, I use a squeegee after washing and that helps too if you have a good one so they come out super clean

Springing cleaning tips? What's spring cleaning? :)

Leslie Galloway

1/7/2013 09:04:20 pm

If you put a tshirt or a dry swiffer floor sweeper cloth on the end of the broom, it's a quick and cleaner way to clean the dust off your ceiling and walls.

Sherry Compton

1/7/2013 09:15:51 pm

I'm with Lisa. Doing some daily cleaning really helps so you don't get overwhelmed. Try to clean as you go.

Sonya Sanderson

I don't wait for Spring. I start as soon as the Christmas Tree is gone. One room at a time. By the time Spring gets here I'm free of the biggest jobs and get to spend Spring outside

John Hutchens

1/8/2013 01:57:29 am

my tip would be take my gf out to dinner after SHE does the spring cleaning

1/8/2013 02:05:30 am

It's easier to clean as you go.

cheryl

1/8/2013 02:50:20 am

focus on one room at a time

Kortney Picker

1/8/2013 07:43:25 am

Take one room at a time, you will feel more accomplished instead of doing all the fans, all the windows etc.

Cynthia C

1/8/2013 08:09:38 am

I'm a big fan of microfiber cloths. They do a great job on all surfaces and don't leave lint behind.

PUT ON MUSIC. IT WILL MAKE THINGS LESS PAINFUL!

1/8/2013 09:06:45 pm

go through your closets but take it one at a time

1/9/2013 03:42:20 am

Don't get frazzled.

1/9/2013 04:46:57 am

If you do a little every day it wont seem like such an insurmountable task

1/9/2013 07:58:50 am

I found if you do a little at a time, just one thing new each day such as a closet task, fridge, whatever it may be, you stay caught up

1/9/2013 09:19:27 pm

Take it small when trying to declutter - chose one area and work your way around the house.

Charlene S

1/10/2013 04:13:17 am

Clean something everyday.

1/10/2013 07:28:30 am

Do just one drawer or cupboard a day. It's not so overwhelming.

1/10/2013 07:42:41 am

The old Nike slogan. Just do it!

1/10/2013 09:55:17 am

If it is just collecting dust and you never use it... sell it or give away

1/10/2013 08:32:41 pm

Main tip is my windows, love how they turn out-ammonia, water with vinegar and squeege

1/10/2013 09:08:59 pm

Start off in one area and move around a room...that way you will see some progress.

1/11/2013 03:16:08 am

I love Scott's products.This is a great prize package. I'd really like to try the wood floor cleaner.Oh, the question.One room at a time.

1/11/2013 09:49:11 am

heat water in your microwave to loosen anything stuck on.... makes it a quick job to clean

1/11/2013 05:02:52 pm

Do something everyday.

1/11/2013 09:22:08 pm

Cover dishes that might splatter before microwaving...I just simply put a paper towel over them.

Laura Lane

1/11/2013 10:45:53 pm

Have everyone help.

Audra Weathers

1/11/2013 10:56:20 pm

I like to clear out the entire room and clean everything before it goes back in. It takes a long time, but it's a good way to get the dust bunnies out from under furniture and do all the baseboards.

polly

1/12/2013 01:13:39 am

i clean one room each day...not so overwelming

1/12/2013 02:22:40 am

The first step for me is get rid of some things that are never used.

Karen

1/12/2013 06:40:56 am

the only cleaning tip I have is have a cleaning lady,

Chris U

1/12/2013 11:34:27 am

I do a major clean-out/organizing every couple months and giveaway what we don't use. By not letting it all accumulate, it doesn't become a "huge" undertaking.

1/12/2013 09:40:40 pm

Take on one task at a time and one area at a time.

1/13/2013 01:11:50 am

Keeping organized by adding 1 additional "to do" thing such as a closet to a list daily

Deb K link

1/13/2013 04:15:25 am

My tip is set a timer-get everyone involved in the room. Once the timer goes off~you are done!

1/13/2013 06:18:43 am

do a little each day

1/13/2013 06:56:43 am

Hire someone.

Great answer! :)

1/13/2013 09:59:21 am

spot shot works great on small stains on the carpets

1/13/2013 09:32:09 pm

Clean as you go.

1/14/2013 04:59:22 am

Do a little cleaning every day and it will never get out of hand

1/14/2013 07:41:44 am

Grab whoever is available. Husband, kids...Hey, we as women don't make the majority of the mess.In general we tend to clean as we go! We usually just get stuck picking up after everyone. I'm ranting. You get the gist.

1/14/2013 08:58:02 pm

Try not to become overwhelmed and remember to be proud of all accomplishes.

1/15/2013 07:30:51 am

Buy Scotts products and make life easier while cleaning.

1/15/2013 08:45:41 am

My tip is clean your windows with vinegar and newspapers.

Thuy Vu

1/15/2013 12:42:30 pm

Throw away things that are not sentimental that you haven't used in over a year.

1/16/2013 12:41:38 am

Set reasonable goals so you don't become overwhelmed.

1/16/2013 03:56:25 am

Shoes come off as you walk in the door.

1/16/2013 04:07:28 am

1/16/2013 04:50:47 am

My top is just organizing areas as best as possible and cleaning one specific room a day thoroughly

1/16/2013 09:17:53 pm

Give yourself permission to take breaks.

1/16/2013 11:51:39 pm

Tip is having lots of storage areas or containers to keep organized

1/17/2013 06:32:06 am

Just do it.

Cheryl Chervitz

1/17/2013 01:19:29 pm

in dark spots where there is a lot of dust just press firmly on your broom and move it back and fourth and all the dust bunnys will cling to your broom with ease..

g. penrod

1/17/2013 08:49:29 pm

do one room at a time an do not put it off

Virginia Rowell

1/17/2013 09:54:04 pm

Use a vacuum to suck up a lot of the dust first, then go about cleaning.

1/18/2013 12:53:40 am

Organization is key

Christy

1/18/2013 02:23:41 am

Don't forget to dust the tops of the door and window trim. I'm short so I always forget to dust things that are taller than me.

1/18/2013 03:29:49 am

Teach kids from a young age that if they are going to play they must put toys away when they're done.If they don't they lose it for a day or so.

1/18/2013 04:40:12 am

Start early - I find that once I've gone out, even just grocery shopping, I don't want to come home and clean.

1/18/2013 05:30:24 am

clean everyday

Jean Fischer

1/18/2013 08:21:51 pm

a little bit each day

Stephanie Larison

1/18/2013 08:45:24 pm

Do one room at a time so you don't feel so overwhelmed by it all.

1/18/2013 09:04:24 pm

Start early and come up with a plan.

1/19/2013 01:18:29 am

I agree. Clean as you go, daily.

1/19/2013 09:26:42 pm

Do daily little things to cut down on mess.

julie link

1/19/2013 10:40:47 pm

the tip is to clean all year round so its not as big a project when spring comes around

1/20/2013 01:16:43 am

That's a really nice assortment of products!

1/20/2013 01:48:13 am

1/20/2013 10:37:51 pm

windows-ammonia, water, vinegar and a good squeege

1/21/2013 02:38:35 am

Being chemical sensitive I try to use natural cleansers. Oh, deduct one point from the bag entry. I didn't realize the boot contest was closed and listed it. Sorry.

melissa Resnick

1/21/2013 08:44:54 am

it makes you feel good

Desiree Dunbar

1/21/2013 09:57:53 am

I like to wash the walls and the Magic Eraser takes off almost anything.

1/21/2013 08:14:50 pm

My tip is trying to work on a different room daily, cleaning it entirely

1/22/2013 02:40:50 am

Start at the top and work down. Floors being last.

1/22/2013 09:35:29 pm

Focusing on 1 closet even if it's monthly, will help you a lot and get rid of clutter

1/22/2013 10:57:41 pm

Cover food before microwaving.

Jenn Huey

1/24/2013 12:23:17 am

Make your own window cleaner to save money

1/24/2013 01:41:50 am

Organization is key and having plenty of storage space

1/24/2013 09:55:31 pm

Those large totes are great for storage of extra toys, etc. We put them up in the attic and every 6 months or so, switch from what has been played with to ones in attic. Like Christmas all over again since they didn't play with them in such a long time and keeps you organized

Rust

1/25/2013 01:26:35 am

wipe your baseboards with dryer sheets after cleaning and they will stay clean longer.

1/25/2013 07:11:14 am

Having Lysol or other multipurpose wipes on hand makes immediate clean up easier.

dorothy

1/26/2013 07:44:18 am

clean everday

1/26/2013 09:03:20 am

Use an old sock on your hand to dust blinds.

1/26/2013 06:00:22 pm

The work seems to always wait for us so take it slow and do a little each day to keep up

1/26/2013 09:16:18 pm

Begin cleaning early in the morning before you get busy with other things.

1/27/2013 02:52:31 am

I get the most done when I have the house to myself.

Rich Hicks

1/27/2013 03:54:05 am

1/27/2013 09:33:00 pm

Just begin - sometimes the hardest part is just getting started.

1/28/2013 03:31:52 am

You said it Sherry! Getting started is the hardest part. I can clean all day. When dear hubby comes home you can't tell. I've started calling him Taz!

1/28/2013 04:13:11 am

Keep working at it, don't give up.

rust

1/28/2013 12:04:26 pm

Waxing ceiling fan blades keeps them cleaner.

1/28/2013 08:23:14 pm

Our windows are needing cleaning again so I'll get back to the vinegar, water and ammonia with my squeege. Just love how it turns out and so quick too.

1/28/2013 09:05:27 pm

Wipe door handles and faucets. You touch these often.

jennifer

1/29/2013 03:18:36 am

1/29/2013 07:19:58 pm

I like using the swiffer extended handle duster to do my ceiling fans, that works great

1/30/2013 02:09:49 am

We have an upstairs full of things we don't need.If we can sell,donate,whatever. That would be a big start.

Linda Lansford

1/30/2013 05:09:33 am

spring clean a different area each month

1/30/2013 09:16:35 am

if it's broken, throw it away ...this will clear up a lot of space, esp in kids toychests

1/30/2013 08:54:47 pm

I continually pick things up as i go into a room. My grandson tends to leave toys out and walks away. I make him pick up when I catch him but if you keep things picked up and put away as you see it, surely helps

1/30/2013 09:36:06 pm

Just start...sometimes that gets you moving and motivated.

1/30/2013 09:50:11 pm

I use newspaper instead of towel paper to clean windows so they are streak free

Samii Meyer

1/31/2013 12:03:35 pm

The only tip I have is to start doing it - and stick to it. It is very easy to get caught up in things, and it will just keep getting put off

Micaela P

1/31/2013 12:25:43 pm

Every few months I wash the pillows (two at a time, hot water, gently cycle, dry in hot heat), and clean out the pipes with a mix of baking soda and vinegar.

1/31/2013 05:10:58 pm

try to dust every other day

karenb834

1/31/2013 09:28:42 pm

Set aside an entire day, turn up the music and turn off the phone.

I keep a box by the front door for unwanted stuff. When I find something I don't use anymore that is still in good shape I put it in the box. When the box is full I take it to Goodwill :)

Vicki D.

2/1/2013 09:50:55 am

The one thing I do in the spring is to wash the outside windows and screens. Plus, I also like to start hanging the wash on the outside lines to dry.
