Living with 4 men isn’t always roses and cupcakes.
More like smelly sneakers and muddy t-shirts.
I love them to death but I honestly don’t understand how they can make such a huge mess in such a short amount of time.
I asked my oldest son to sweep the floor the other day and I caught him sweeping all the crumbs under the rug. Ugh.
Now that spring is finally here we’re getting our spring cleaning on.
I need to shake the grayness of winter off by scrubbing the grout with toothbrushes, getting the carpets cleaned and (spoiler alert) we’re even getting our cabinets re-painted. All that cleaning and painting means harsh chemicals in the home which gives me anxiety. I used to burn scented candles to freshen a room but that is just a mask plus you can actually pollute the air with harmful toxins that comes from burning certain candles. Opening the windows to let in the fresh air helps tremendously but that also invites dust and pollen in.
We don’t often think about our home’s air filters when it comes to a cleaning routine. Do you change them regularly and are you using the right ones? We used to buy the cheapest ones we could get our hands on but then I came across3M Filtrete’s line of air filters which provide a whole host of defense against your home.
Check out what my old, used filter looked like after just one month.
The Odor Reduction Filtrete Filter is supposed to be 65 times more effective than other carbon filter at removing odors from cooking, pets, mildew, cleaning chemicals, tobacco smoke and BOYS!
(Let me tell you, changing air filters is so much fun).
A week later and I actually do notice a difference, no lie! Do you hear the angels singing? We’re making a healthier home.
You should definitely consider Filtrete Filters as a part of your Spring Cleaning Routine this season.

I’m on the East Coast where there is an abundance of pollen, dust, heat and that “wonderful” humidity. I use these products and I believe in them. I change the filter faithfully every two months through the winter and then monthly during Spring and Summer. I mark my calendar to remind myself to ensure that it happens. It keeps E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G cleaner. Finely filtered air keeps upholstery, draperies, etc, etc cleaner. Forget to do it and you can run your ‘white glove’ test across a surface and come up with a layer of dust. Forget to do it in the Summer and your ‘white glove test’ results in ‘sticky dust’. Lovely, right? I love these filters!!!
Wow! That’s a testimonial if I ever heard one. I never thought about the fact that it plays a role in keeping upholstery and drapes clean. Thanks! You taught me something! 🙂
