Favorite housekeeping products?

Ok, this is really an update on my previous post, but I feel I can´t keep writing on that one forever.

I´m still searching for those wonderful cleaning products, but meanwhile I found a couple of other treats, rose scented linen water and this lovely storage box, at 40% off - perfect for my growing supply of cleaning products! I sent for them, and can´t wait for them to arrive!

That storage box is really cute.

For those of you in the U.S. - I have seen some of those cleaning caddies at Tuesday Morning stores - very similar only without the pretty flowers. I almost bought one a few months ago and then passed it by. Darn it! Wish I would have had the vision to put flowers on it and I surely would have gotten it!

That is so pretty Malin! I love it. You know what would be fun? Making magnets for the side to decorate it based on the season and holiday you're near, or whatever flower hits your fancy.

That´s a good idea, Karla. I´ll wait for it to arrive, so I get to see it irl, so I know if it needs some work, or if it´s perfect the way it is.

I got the storage box yesterday, and it´s so pretty! And big - I hadn´t realized how big it would be, I´ve put all of my cleaning products in it, and there´s still plenty of room for more. The rose scented linen water I also ordered smells lovely - I can´t wait to get myself an iron, so I can use it. And a spray bottle. I´ll use it on my sheets, how could my dreams be anything but sweet after that?

oh I am so happy it's beautiful Malin!! Makes me wish I had bought the one I saw last year.

I'm thinking I"m buying myself a new iron this year for Christmas - and a new ironing board cover. SO tired of hating to iron because of the stupid iron!

An iron and an ironing board cover is high on my want-list as well - some women wants designer handbags, jewellery, cars - I´d be equally happy with a steam iron, preferably pink!

I was in Stockholm, and imagine my delight, when I stumbled upon Christmas scented surface cleaner! On Sunday, I´m cleaning everywhere, spraying Christmas cheer all over my flat!

Oh, I'm jealous of the Xmas scented surface cleaner!!! Beats the Xmas scented fabric conditioner me thinks.....

I wonder if I put Xmas scented oil in my Dettol spray, would it be the same???? Knowing me I'll end up with an oil slicky mess all over my kitchen.....

I don´t know how Dettol smells, but if it´s somewhat neutral, go for it! If you try in a small amount first, you´d see how it works, and if it´s any good, just do it!

Yes Dettol surface spray is odour and taste free - they used to sell it on the ability to eat off a surface wiped with it with no ill effect! It's meant to kill 99.9% of all bacteria - including salmonella etc, so I do like to wipe down the kitchen work surfaces with it. I might just give it a whirl with the Xmas oil!
