Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We had a couple of great days celebrating with family and have taken the last few days to just crash out and recover from all of the craziness! I think that I am ready to start getting things back in order though now and look forward to getting the house cleaned and organized again. It’s kind of taken a beating lately! 😉
I always take some time at the end of each year to look back at the most popular posts to see what you all liked {and didn’t like!}, and thought that some cleaning tips might come in handy right about now. Here are the best cleaning tips from Clean and Scentsible {posted this year} to help you get your house back in order for the new year!

And even though it’s not from this year, I thought that I would also share my #1 cleaning post of all time. It’s been viewed about 1.5 million times this year alone!

I am excited about using your tools to better clean and organize my home. I have always hated clutter and have always worked at keeping this monster at bay. I however have never followed a set plan for cleaning or organizing my home. I just go about it somewhat hit and miss. So can an old dog learn new tricks (not going to give my age away but I am a grandmother of 8!) I hope so!.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The Christmas holidays were fabulous and I still feel energetic and fill with ideas. Now I am thinking of clean up at home because we had a party for New Year here and there is still a lot of mess that needs to be cleaned. I find these cleaning posts really helpful. I can use them for the future spring cleaning, too! Thank you for sharing them. I will spend the weekend cleaning at home so I will try most of your tips! Greeting!

Glad you had a wonderful holiday! And happy cleaning while the energy is still there! 😉

I think I need number eight, not that I don’t clean my toilet because I do. I have never done something I would describe as deep cleaning my toilet. Normally, I just get the soap, scrub the bowl, more soap, wipe the seats, and then I am done. Hopefully that isn’t too bad and I can just deep clean once and a while without issue.

I came to this post expecting one of those 5 paragraph top 10 cleaning lists that you see all over the internet but instead, I got a list of epic cleaning guides you’ve written! And then when I click on any one of those guides, I’m expecting the same thing (ex: list of a few quick tips), but instead, more awesome epic cleaning guides with THOSE cleaning guides. Well done Jenn!
Melissa says
I just found this amazing post! First off I absolutely LOVE Christmas. It is my favorite time of year!
As a mommy of 5 and a professional house cleaner I am looking forward to the Holidays but not necessarily the cleaning that comes after it! 🙂
Thank you for putting together these amazing tips and resources!

How do you get a burn mark off a wooden cutting board?
Jenn Lifford says
If it’s truly burned, then I think the only way to remove it would be to sand the cutting board down and the reseal.
