Calling all neat freaks! In my opinion, there is nothing better than a fresh, clean house. I wish it was as easy a TikTok & Instagram make it look with a snap of your fingers…but let’s be real: at times it truly feels like a full-time job keeping the house clean, especially with two dogs. Full discolsure: we have a wonderful cleaning service come in twice a month to give our house the deep clean it needs – and it’s truly an investment that has been life saving for me. It gives me hours of my day back, and is something I love to outsource because honestly, I just don’t enjoy it, haha!
I do, however – love to clean a little here and there. I’m all about the convenience factor when it comes to cleaning, so today I am rounding up all of the products and gadgets that keep my house clean in-between those deep cleans. Everything I use helps me get the job done quick & efficiently!

Nature’s Miracle Advanced Stain & Odor Eliminator // If you have a puppy or dog that still has an accident every now & then, this will be your saving grace! It’s the only remover that truly gets rid of the stain and the smell.
The Pink Stuff All Purpose Cleaning Paste // I had my doubts about this gooey paste, but wow does it work! It’s definitely a different type of cleaner, but it can seriously clean anything, especially those hard to reach spots. I love using it for our stovetop, oven + microwave.
Glamorous Wash Detergent // You may know this as what I like to call my “George Clooney Detergent” – and that’s because I just feel like if I ever met George Clooney, he would smell like this, haha! It’s refreshing, a little masculine & not over powering. I love washing our bedding, sheets, towels & rugs with this detergent. Our house guests always compliment the smell!
Microfiber Cleaning Cloths // You’ll never use a paper towel again! These cloths are great to stock up on, for cleaning windows, counters, cabinets -you name it.
Microfiber Duster // Don’t forget to clean your ceiling fans and hard to reach shelves! This little gadget makes it easy (and you’ll be shocked at how much dust comes out!)
ROOMBA iRobot Vacuum // This is a great option if you have pets that shed or track dirt in the house! I love to run our ROOMBA while we are gone (because it is a little loud) – and that way, I come home to clean floors! I will say, it’s not as effective as a normal vacuum but it really helps with maintenance and prolonging the time between the dreaded intense vacuum days.
Fabric Fresh Home Spray // I love to use this spray to freshen up our furniture before guests come over.
BISSELL Iconpet Cordless Vacuum // Hands down, the BEST cordless vacuum I’ve ever used! It picks up anything without problem, has a good battery life, is lightweight & it can be used as a handheld vacuum as well, which is great for cleaning out your car!
Pura Smart Home Fragrance Device // Y’all know how obsessed I am with the Pura smart home fragrance diffuser – so much so, that I have like four throughout the house! Let me tell you, the hype is WORTH it. They have the best scents, I love that you can completely control it from your phone, and it also has nightlight capabilities. It’s not an oil diffuser, so it’s safe for pets & babies. Some of my favorite scents are Capri Blue Volcano, Sea Salt Grapefruit, Big Sky, Barr & Co Original, Coconut Calm, and Big Sky. Use code: STEFBARE for 15% off!
Pet Hair Remover Roller // Although our dogs don’t shed, I have friends who swear by this little device that helps collect and get rid of dog hair from their furniture!
Fabric Cleaner // This stuff is a miracle worker, I swear! No matter the stain, whether it’s red wine or grease – it gets it out! This is the product that I bring out if there’s a big mess & I need to pull out the “big guns”.
Mr. Clean Magic Erasers // I always have a ton of these in the house because they truly are like magic! I love using these for white shoes, walls, baseboards, drawers & cabinets – basically anything white that seems hard to clean.
World’s Best Glass Cleaner // The best streak-free glass cleaner for windows & mirrors!
Weiman Stainless Steal Cleaner & Polish // Love using this polish for all of our stainless steel appliances. It doesn’t leave them streaky!
Swiffer Wetjet Spray Mop // If the dogs make a mess of the floors, this is my go-to mop in-between deep cleans. It’s much less messier than a typical mop – no bucket or soap needed…it’s all in one device & always ready to go and leaves your floors squeaky clean and shiny.
