Loving Pledge


So, you know how the old standbys from your cleaning routine kind of get ignored and stop seeming so great after awhile? Well, a few weeks ago I had some guys in repairing the seams in my granite in my kitchen and they told me to use Pledge to clean my granite! I was like "What?!? Pledge?!? It's for wood, dummies!"

So, I did. Then I kept doing it for awhile before I told you about it...just wanted to be sure. It. Is. Awesome.



Then I thought to myself, "Self? If Pledge could clean/shine my granite all this time without me knowing, what else might it do? So, I read the back of the can and saw "Did you know Pledge is also great for a clean shine on stainless steel, leather, marble, granite?"

I just started spraying and crossed my fingers! I tried my marble mosaic table:



It worked! I used to have to wax and polish this thing every 3 months! (Clearly, I'm unable to pick up newspapers for photo ops...or the vacuum hiding behind the table. Oops. And, yes, my kids' "artwork gallery" is scotch taped to the glass on my back doors.)

I tried my Sink Cleaning Routine ending with Pledge, it was awesome. I tried my quick sink routine using only Pledge. Also awesome:



I used it on my slate inlay coffee table and The Big Guy's leather recliner too!

So, I'm in love with Pledge again. There, I've said it. I'm not getting paid to write this and I didn't receive free Pledge to write this. I just had a can $3.50 Pledge under my sink that I've ignored for too long and am betting you do too. Pull that bad boy out and shine up the joint before the Hubs gets home then he just might take you out to dinner for your hard work!

Tutorial Tuesday is jammin' people! Head over to check it out!

  4. That's cool about the leather. We have a leather sofa that is a pain in the butt to clean. I'm going to have pull out my pledge (or my endust) when I get home.

  5. This is embarrassing, but the cabinets under my sink are so cluttered, I'm not even sure there is Pledge down there. Going to check!

  6. The time you talked about spraying Pledge in the vents when you (didn't feel like) didn't have time to clean still cracks me up.
    I run out of time for (don't feel like) cleaning A LOT it seems. This little trick has helped me out QUITE a bit.

  9. I have to admit, after using pledge, getting it on my hardwood floors and nearly breaking my back trying NOT to fall, I may just have to pull it out again to attack some leather :)

  10. Aw man, I don't even think I have any Pledge. I'll have to get some though. Sometimes the classics are the way to go I guess!
