Spring Cleaning with Pledge®

This year is going by way too fast! I can’t believe it’s springtime and you know what that means…time for spring cleaning!! I don’t know about you but I love a good spring cleaning. There is just something cathartic about cleaning out drawers and closets and getting rid of the junk. I also love cleaning out all the nooks and crannies and making everything in my home sparkle. I secretly love spring cleaning but don’t tell anyone that!!

One area of my house that gets the most use and is the hardest to clean is the kitchen. Why so hard? Because I have stainless steel appliances and while they are gorgeous they are so hard to keep clean! I feel like I am forever wiping up doggy nose marks or fingerprints! Stainless that steel is not…

I have been in my home for almost five years and have tried a variety of different cleaning methods but the only thing that really makes them shine is Pledge® Orange Clean Furniture Spray. I know most people think of Pledge® Orange Clean Furniture Spray as a wood cleaner but it can actually be used on a variety of surfaces including stainless steel!! The day I discovered this I swear the heavens opened up and angels started singing.

When cleaning your stainless steel there are a few tips and tricks I use and today I am going to share them with you!! Here we go…

  1. Always go with the grain. Like wood, stainless steel has a grain and you can see which way yours goes by looking for the striations on the surface of the appliance. All of mine happen to go vertically so that makes cleaning everything pretty easy!
  2. Wipe it down Charlie Brown. It’s important to first wipe your appliances down with a dry cloth first to remove anything stuck on (like food from sticky fingers).
  3. Polish to perfection. When you are finished cleaning you can wipe your surfaces down again with a dry cloth to get rid of any drying/still marks still left on the surface and “polish” your appliance. However, if you are using Pledge® to clean with you can usually skip this step.

Pledge® Orange Clean Furniture Spray can be used for furniture cleaning all around the house to quickly clean, condition and protect – all while leaving behind the classic, fresh Pledge® scent. It also features Allergen Trappers® to remove dust and up to 90% of the allergens found in dust. In addition to wood and stainless steel Pledge® Orange Clean Spray can be used to dust, shine and protect a variety of household surfaces including laminate, leather, marble, granite and plastic.

Pledge® Orange Clean Furniture Spray also comes in the original Lemon scent and works the exact same as the orange, I just prefer the orange scent these days for some reason. There is also a Pledge® Multi Surface Everyday Cleaner with Glade® Rainshower® and Pledge® Lemon Wipes to cover the rest of your household cleaning needs! I found my Pledge® at my local Kroger and you can pick yours up there as well! I love that Kroger has become my one stop shop for all my household needs!

    I use Pledge all the time. My house gets super dusty because of our forced hot air heat.

    Pledge is my favorite dusting tool. It makes getting the dust off of my wood so easy, and it makes it so shiny!

    I love Pledge. I had no idea they made an orange scent! I will have to pick some up. I like the regular scent but orange would be a nice change.

    I dislike dusting and honestly I would prefer to give the task to my daughters!
    We use pledge all the time. I love the one with extra moisturizing especially because it’s so dry here. Cleans like a dream.

    I had no idea pledge had an orange scent. It sounds divine. The lemon scent is nice, but there is something about orange that feels more warm.

    I had no idea you could use this on leather and stainless steel! I only assumed it was meant for wood. I’ll have to try.

    I love the orange scent of this Pledge! We live across from a big field and that can blow a lot of dust into my house on windy days so Pledge is a must!

    Wow pledges been around I guess since I was a kid in a long long time. I remember my mom would always use pledge to clean our house when I was a child and it smelled so good. Pledge is the gold standard and has a great reputation and brand.

    That’s a good tip to go with the grain. Sometimes we get in a hurry and forget that, swiping back and forth at will.
