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.

I already have the vacuum and LOVE it.(Please feel free o redraw if I’m randomly selected for the grand prize. I feel blessed to have the vacuum we have and would love someone else to get the opportunity to use a wonderful product) However, I’d love to win the cleaning pack. I’ve been decluttering(moneysavingmom declutter challenge) and cleaning and it would be great to replenish my cleaning supplies.
We have aready accomplished cleaning the kitchen clutter, daughter’s clutter, the shed clutter, and are presently working on the boys room clutter. Up next laundry room clutter, and master bedroom clutter……. we also still have a bathroom to declutter(we have a second bath under renovation as well.Our House is a work in progress).

The cleaning portion looks chaotic. It’s amazing how much stuff 6 people can cram in a small house. It’s definitely overwhelming to see the contents of your pantry areas strewn all over the kitchen or to go through the boys clothing and see what is servicable to pass on, what needs replacement and what can not possibly fit in the space we have.

closets! Still have to put away all of the winter gear. I dread going through what has piled up in the hall closets; they seem to be a catch-all.

I have a lot of spring cleaning, but I have 2 that are looming and waiting for the pollen to clear.
1. I need to completely wash down my screened in porch, wash the rugs, wash the furniture, and apply some bleach to the white paint due to mildew, and a lot of soap to the rest of it.
2. I need to wash 3 bedwarmers mattress pads and hang them outside to dry – something I need to do after the pollen is gone!

For my spring cleaning, I am making a huge list of things to sell on Craigslist!
Carrie
my list is pretty short, probably what most people do on a weekly basis (catch up on floors, counters, laundry) and the thing i’m dreading most is lugging the vacuum the stairs.
