The following review is from the Deal Seeking Mom project administrator, Mandi Ehman:
As the weather gets warmer, spring cleaning is on a lot of people’s minds and Arm & Hammer and Electrolux want to help Deal Seeking Mom readers tackle this big project with products that make cleaning easier and our homes healthier.
Arm & Hammer
We’re all familiar with the orange box of Arm & Hammer baking soda which naturally reduces household odors in refrigerators, pantries and trashcans and can be used as a natural cleaning agent, but Arm & Hammer also has a line of cleaning products that use the power of baking soda to help you tackle specific cleaning jobs around your home, including:
- Arm & Hammer Clean Shower
- Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Shaker
- Arm & Hammer Scrub Free Cleanser
- Arm & Hammer Carpet & Fabric Odor Eliminator
- Arm & Hammer Essentials Trigger Spray
- Arm & Hammer Trash Can Deodorizer
- Arm & Hammer Fabric Softener Sheets
In addition, Arm & Hammer vacuum bags and filters are allergist recommended and offer HEPA filtration, which keeps 99.97% of small particles like dust, pollen and pet dander from being re-introduced into the air. With more than 120 different styles of vacuum accessories, there are Arm & Hammer filters for nearly all brands and models of vacuum cleaners.
Electrolux
Our family has always been a huge fan of Electrolux appliances, and we recently bought our first Electrolux vacuum, the Electrolux ErgoRapido Bagless/Cordless Stick Vacuum, which we love for daily vacuuming to keep up with the crumbs and dirt that our four girls seem to create.
So when Electrolux offered us the opportunity to try the Electrolux Versatility bagless/upright model, we were excited to see if it would live up to the standard set by the stick vacuum. It’s hard for us to find a vacuum that works well on our hand-crafted custom wood floors without scratching them up, but we were hopeful this would do the trick while providing us with more cleaning power than the stick vacuum or our resident Shop Vac.
The box arrived, and my husband immediately unpacked it and began vacuuming, and it really did live up to our expectations. The innovative handle quickly releases a telescoping wand system that reaches up to 14 feet. We’ve rarely used vacuum attachments in the past because of the extra work of hooking them up or switching power to the wand, but this process is automatic in the Versatility, making it easy to quickly dust a high shelf, vacuum hair off the couch or clean up crumbs in the snack drawer.
Additionally, the Versatility vacuum offers:
- A three-stage cyclonic suction system that separates most of the dirt from the air before it reaches the filter, so the filter stays clean and the vacuum retains maximum cleaning power.
- A bottom-empty dust cup to make emptying it easy.
- A HEPA filter that removes 99.97% of small particles from the air while vacuuming and includes charcoal technology to absorb and eliminate odors.
- Quick and easy switching from hard floor to carpet mode, making it easy to vacuum your entire home.

Ugh, what spring cleaning DON’T I have to do? I just donated a rather large truckload of stuff to the local women’s shelter, and am primed to scour everything.
My least favorite? Moving and cleaning behind the ‘fridge. @_@
Jeaneen

I don’t like cleaning – period. Have to do some touch up painting on the kitchen cabinets, which in a way is like cleaning, because I have to wash them first.

EVERYTHING in my house needs a good “once over”!!! I’ve been putting it off since my hysterectomy…

I feel SO blessed to have married a “cleanaholic”! He enjoys the cleaning and is so particular about his approach that he’d prefer to tackle the spring cleaning tasks himself :)

Spring cleaning in my house involves switching out winter wardrobes with summer ones.
Michelle
My spring cleaning to-do list covers all the bases, but the biggest job I have to deal with (and am dreading) is the master bathroom. We have neglected this room for a long time b/c we are trying to save up for some minor renovations. Since it will be at least another 6+ months before we can get to this project I suppose I should clean it. I need all the help I can get, my husband is a hairspray addict. The walls need to be scrubbed. The floor needs the ickies behind the door jackhammered. The tub/shower needs some serious grout cleaner (or A&H in a paste with a lot of elbow grease). Okay, now that I’ve grossed everyone out….don’t go near my master bathroom (but I promise my powder room is presentable and clean!).
Thanks for the chance to win!

Unfortunately in our house everything needs a good spring (summer, fall, winter!) cleaning. My favorite thing to do though once it starts getting nice out is to open all of the windows during the day. The fresh breeze at least makes things seem a little cleaner!

I am a facebook fan and hope to win so I can make my master bathroom a room we try to use in the dark only (yes, it is that gross!)

I also get your email updates (LOVE THESE). Thanks for all you do and for all the great tips, deals and tidbits of info!
My biggest cleaning issue is the bathroom. If I could afford (and weren’t so cheap) a maid I would get one just for bathrooms. Especially the master. Ick.
Thanks!

I dread cleaning out the garage. All winter we have thrown stuff in there and now its warm and its time to clean it out.
