This post is sponsored by Bona but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Nathan and I both have a crazy work schedule, and with us working opposite shifts at the hospital, we have to take advantage of our time off together.  On my days off,  I don’t want to spend all day cleaning because who has time for that?! Not me!  So today I want to talk about tackling dirty floors.  Do you have floors that are often a challenge to keep clean? Or maybe you’ve made a commitment this year to keep your home more clean but don’t want to spend all day doing it?  Keep reading to see how I cut down on my cleaning time, and the simple way I keep my floors clean with the Bona Quick Clean System.

Keeping a home clean can be a full time job.  I know that with a busy schedule, a dog, and a somewhat messy husband..I can stay busy all day trying to keep things clean and in order. I find that our entryway is one of the hardest areas of our home to keep clean.  It’s the door we use most often when coming and going, and between our shoes and Reggie’s dirty paws, it seems to always be dirty.    But let’s be real for a minute, by the time I get to the floors, after cleaning the rest of the house, the last thing I want to do is bring out the mop bucket and spend all that time scrubbing on my hands and knees.  I much rather spend that extra time enjoying quality moments with my boys! That is why I decided to make some goals this year to try to keep my home clean without spending hours every day doing it, and with the help of the Bona Quick Clean System , that goal is easily achievable.

In the past, I have used so many products that left a streaky residue on my floors, which meant I would end up on my hands and knees cleaning it over again.  So, I really enjoy how the Bona Quick Clean System is steak-free and residue free!  That means I can clean the floors one time and be DONE!  Talk about cutting down on cleaning time! 

The Bona Premium Floor Mop is also super easy to put together, the instructions are right on the box and there’s only three steps.  Within minutes I am ready to mop! And with the entire Bona Quick Clean System ,  the products work perfectly together to make cleaning quick, easy and effective…. leaving me more time to enjoy spending the day with Nathan and Reggie.

Anyone else sometimes feel like they need a laundry intervention? Yep, me too!  As a busy pet parent working full time, planning a wedding and traveling, it always seems like a struggle to keep up on the laundry.  I swear, just when I think I am finally caught up on the laundry pile, Reggie comes running in from outside with his muddy paws, which means bath time….and more laundry! I mean, don’t get me wrong...I love my little guy (just  look at that sweet face)! But I don’t always love the mess he leaves behind, especially on my white towels!

A-Pet-parents-guide-to-tough-stains-persil-laundry-detergent-1.jpg

Today, I’m partnering with Persil® ProClean® to share with you some laundry tips, as well as a step-by-step guide on how to experience a new level of deep clean with your laundry!  Persil® ProClean® laundry detergent is formulated to deliver a deep clean for all of life’s messy moments! And, did you know you can find Persil® ProClean® at Walmart? I’m loving the Persil® ProClean® Stain Fighter formula, especially when it comes to getting out those tough stains, including muddy messes from all of Reggie’s outdoor adventures!

Life gets busy, and sometimes a little messy too! Like many of you who also have busy lives, I don’t have time to worry about if my laundry detergent is actually going to get the stains out.  I just need it to work! Am I right, or am I right? These laundry tips I’m sharing today will not only make the job easier, it will also get things cleaner...the first time around!

Be sure to read more to see my step-by-step guide on achieving a deep clean you can’t deny with Persil® ProClean® laundry detergent !

So here we go: A PET PARENT’S GUIDE TO TOUGH STAINS WITH Persil® ProClean® !


STEP 1: SORT

  • Light colors- whites, grey, tan- will go in one pile.

  • Deep colored clothes—black, red, navy, brown, dark gray—go in another pile.

  • Heavily soiled clothes (aka muddy towels from your pup) and all whites (such as towels or sheets) should be washed separately.

Also, be sure to always follow the care label instructions in case certain items need specific laundering care.

STEP 2: DETERGENT

I like using Persil® ProClean® Stain Fighter formula because it has stain fighting enzymes specially designed to break down stains and deliver an exceptional deep clean! And the great thing about Persil® ProClean® is it doesn’t require a lot to get your laundry clean!  Simply read the label for correct usage. This will prevent residue from being left on your clothing and also keep your washing machine running efficiently.


PRO TIP: If your clothes have stains, pre-treat them before washing so it doesn't set in.  Apply some Persil® ProClean® Stain Fighter directly to the stain, rub into fabric, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes (depending on the stain).  Then simply run it through the regular wash cycle recommend for that article of clothing.

STEP 3: WATER TEMPERATURE & CYCLE

It’s best to follow the washing machine instructions for water temperature guidelines, but unless your clothing is caked with dirt and heavily stained, washing in cold water will work for most average loads and bright colors.  Use hot water for white loads, to keep your whites bright.

PRO TIP: For an extra brightening boost, wash your whites with Persil® ProClean® Laundry Detergent then hang laundry in the sun for natural bleaching!

As far as cycle, you will want to choose the best washer cycle for the fabrics in the load. The “regular” cycle is best for heavily soiled items or sturdy cotton.  Permanent press is best for average loads, but you may also need to use "delicate" for certain fabrics. "Heavy duty" is great for articles like jeans and towels….especially towels that are stinky and dirty from muddy doggies.

STEP 4: LOAD

Load items into the washer one at a time, making sure they are not in a wad. Do not cram the washer too full. The clothes need room to move about in the water.

STEP 5:  RELAX

When using Persil® ProClean® Laundry Detergent and its exceptional stain fighting ingredients, you know your laundry will get clean the first time around….even those tough stains like mud and grass from your furbaby!  So now its time to relax, give your dog some extra lovins or belly rubs (Reggie’s favorite!) or tackle those other items on your to-do list…at least until it’s time to fold!
