Lola Clean Freaks

House cleaning—it’s a task we all face, yet one that rarely sparks joy. But what if I told you that cleaning could actually be fun? With a few nifty hacks and the right tools, your home will be sparkling in no time, minus the stress. Enter Wowables®, the ultimate reusable, eco-friendly cloths that will change the way you clean. Let’s dive into some cleaning hacks that will make your life easier, all while saving the planet!

The Multi-Surface Magic

We’ve all been there: juggling five different cleaning products for various surfaces—kitchen counters, bathroom tiles, glass, and more. What if one cloth could handle them all? Wowables are your secret weapon. Whether it’s a glass coffee table or a greasy stove, these miracle cloths are tough on dirt but gentle on surfaces. They clean with just water, so you can toss those harsh chemical sprays goodbye.

Hack: Keep one  Wowables® cloth in every room of your house! That way, when a spill or smudge happens, you’re always armed and ready for action.

Microfiber Can’t Compare

Sure, microfiber is great—but what if you had something better? Wowables® are not just reusable (up to 1,200 times, to be exact!), but they absorb 10x their weight in liquid. Plus, they’re machine-washable, so you can use them again and again without contributing to landfills.

Hack: Replace your paper towels with Wowables®, and you’ll be surprised at how much longer they last. Not only is it better for the environment, but it’s also better for your wallet. Plus, your countertops will be really thanking you.

The Dust-Busting Hero

Dusting can feel endless, right? Not with  Wowables®! Their ultra-soft texture traps dust like a magnet, meaning you won’t just move the dust around—you’ll actually remove it.

Hack: Give your house a quick dry wipe-down with Wowables® once a week to prevent dust buildup. It works wonders on furniture, shelves, and even ceiling fans!

Say Goodbye to Streaks on Glass

There’s nothing more annoying than cleaning a window or mirror only to end up with streaks. Wowables®, however, leave no trace behind. No streaks, no fuzz—just a crystal-clear shine.

Hack: When cleaning windows or mirrors, dampen a  Wowables® with water and wipe. Use a dry one afterward for that streak-free sparkle.

Sticky Mess? No Problem!

Kitchen counters can become battlefields, especially after cooking. Spills, crumbs, and sticky sauces can wreak havoc. Wowables® are not only durable but also designed to handle the messiest of messes. One swipe, and that sticky patch of syrup is history.

Hack: For stubborn messes, wet your Wowables® with warm water and leave it on the sticky spot for a few minutes. It will loosen even the toughest gunk.

Eco-Friendly, Wallet-Friendly

Here’s a bonus tip for the eco-conscious: using  Wowables® not only reduces your reliance on single-use paper towels but also cuts down on expenses over time. Think about it—no more running to the store for paper towels every week!

Hack: Track how many paper towels you used to go through and compare it to your new Wowables® routine. You might just shock yourself with how much waste (and money) you save.

Why Wowables?

"What’s so special about these cloths?" The secret lies in their blend of eco-friendliness and unmatched performance. Made from wood pulp and cotton, Wowables® are biodegradable and sustainable, which means you’re making a positive impact on the planet while keeping your home clean.

Either way, the choice is yours, and your handle stays with you through every change!

Comfort Grip Handle

No more awkwardly gripping flimsy, slippery brushes—this one’s built for the long haul.

The Magical Blue Cleanser Cartridge

Say goodbye to juggling bottles of liquid cleaner while trying to scrub. The blue cleanser cartridge is a tiny, powerful addition that goes right into the brush head itself. As you clean, the brush releases the cleanser directly where it’s needed, tackling tough stains, rust, and calcium buildup with ease. And the best part? One cartridge can last up to four months! Your toilet stays fresh and odor-free without the extra effort. Looking for refills? Get it here!

Touch-Less Changing System (Goodbye Gross Factor!)

No one likes getting up close and personal with a toilet brush, which is why the 500 Brushes system has a patent-pending touch-less changing system. When it’s time to replace the brush head or the cleanser cartridge, you can do it without ever touching the messy part. Less “ew,” more efficiency.

Ah, the age-old question: Should you clean the shower before you hop in, or tackle the grime after you've scrubbed yourself clean? It’s a conundrum that could turn any quick rinse into a philosophical debate. Let's dive into the sudsy world of shower cleaning and settle the score once and for all.

The Case for Cleaning Before You Shower:

Imagine this: You step into a pristine shower with gleaming tiles, a spotless glass door, and no sign of soap scum in sight. Sounds glorious, right? Cleaning before you shower comes with its own set of perks.

Grime-Free Start

If you clean your shower before you use it, you’re stepping into an already-fresh environment. No one likes getting clean in a space that looks like it’s been hosting a moldy art exhibit. A pre-shower scrub ensures you’re not surrounded by last week’s shampoo buildup while trying to unwind.

Target Those Stubborn Spots

When you’re not rushed by the clock or the impending need to rinse conditioner out of your hair, you can focus on those tough spots that need a little more elbow grease. A dry shower floor can help you see the grime more clearly, making it easier to scrub away soap scum, hard water stains, or that mysteriously gunky corner.

Instant Gratification

Cleaning beforehand means you get to immediately enjoy the fruits of your labor. It’s the reward system in its purest form: You clean, you shower, and bam—instant cleanliness all around.

The Case for Cleaning After You Shower:

On the flip side, there’s something to be said about turning the post-shower steam into your personal cleaning sidekick. Why stop at just getting yourself clean when the whole shower can benefit from the heat?

The Power of Steam

Steam is your BFF when it comes to breaking down dirt and grime. After a hot shower, the heat and moisture soften up soap scum and make cleaning a breeze. It's like your shower is pre-soaking itself, which means less scrubbing for you!

Multi-task Magic

Post-shower cleaning is the ultimate in efficiency. While your conditioner is doing its thing, grab a Bath & Tile Scrubber and give the walls a quick wipe. You’re already there, so why not give your shower some love while the soap is still fresh in the air?

Water Everywhere? No Problem!

Once you've showered, the whole place is already wet—so why not lean into it? The extra water can help wash away cleaning solutions, and since the shower head is still dripping, you might as well make the most of it by giving everything a quick rinse down. Plus, there’s no need to worry about splashes when you’re already dressed in your finest towel.

The Verdict: To Clean Before or After?

Here’s the plot twist: There’s no one right answer. It’s all about personal preference, lifestyle, and how often you actually clean your shower (be honest, when was the last time you wiped down those tiles?).

• If you’re a fan of the squeaky-clean experience and hate the idea of stepping into a less-than-perfect shower, give it a good scrub beforehand. It’s the ultimate in preemptive cleanliness.
• If you’re more about efficiency and like to make your shower work double-time for you, clean after, letting the steam loosen things up so you can swipe away with ease.

Pro Tip: The Hybrid Method

Why not get the best of both worlds? Do a light clean after every shower—think squeegee the walls, wipe down surfaces—and reserve a deeper, more thorough scrub before your weekly “big” shower day. This way, you’re always keeping the space relatively fresh, but not stressing over an intense cleaning session every day.

Cleaning your shower should never be a dreaded task. Whether you’re team "clean before" or "clean after," the real goal is to keep your space fresh and inviting. A clean shower makes for a happier, more refreshing shower experience, and really, isn’t that what we all want?

So go ahead—scrub, rinse, repeat, and enjoy that squeaky-clean feeling both for yourself and your shower!

Wood floors are the showstoppers of your home—elegant, timeless, and effortlessly chic. But keeping them looking as stunning as the day they were installed? That can feel like a never-ending task. So, how often should you be cleaning your wood floors? The answer might surprise you!

Let’s break it down, step by shiny step, so you can keep those floors gleaming without becoming a slave to your mop.

Daily Dirt Patrol: Sweep, Sweep, Baby!

Wood floors might look tough, but they’re a bit like a moody artist—easily disturbed by the smallest things. Dust, dirt, and pet hair can act like tiny sandpaper, scratching the surface of your precious hardwood. To keep things in check, aim for a quick sweep or vacuum every day, especially in high-traffic areas like the kitchen or entryways.

Pro Tip: Invest in a Flexible Dust Mop—it’s like a magnet for dust, without the risk of scratching.

Weekly Spa Treatment: Time for a Deeper Clean

Once a week, your floors deserve a little more love. A damp (not wet!) mop with a hardwood-friendly cleaner will do the trick. Be cautious here—wood and water are not besties. Too much water can cause warping, swelling, and all sorts of floor drama. So, wring out that mop like it owes you money!

Pro Tip: The Revolution Microfiber Spin Mop is great on all type of surfaces especially on hardwood floors! Always follow the grain of the wood when mopping. This helps prevent streaks and leaves your floors looking professionally polished.

Monthly TLC: Polish ‘Em Up!

To keep that showroom shine, polishing your wood floors once a month is a game-changer. This not only refreshes the finish but adds a layer of protection against scratches and scuffs. It’s like giving your floors a spa day—but without the cucumbers on their eyes.

Seasonal Sensation: Deep Clean Time

Every three to six months, your floors could use a deep clean. Think of this as the time to break out the heavy-duty stuff. A wood floor cleaner or a professional cleaning service can help restore the vibrancy to floors that may have dulled over time. If your wood floors are sealed, waxing them every six months can also help maintain their sheen.

Pro Tip: Always check if your wood is finished with polyurethane or wax—this will guide how often and with what type of product you should clean.

Spill Patrol: Spot Clean ASAP

We get it, life happens. Whether it’s spilled wine, rogue cereal, or muddy paw prints, you don’t want to wait to clean up messes on wood floors. Immediate action helps prevent stains and long-term damage. A damp reusable Wowables® should do the trick, but avoid using harsh chemicals that can strip the wood’s finish.

But, How Do You Know When It's Too Clean?

It sounds odd, but yes, you can over clean your wood floors! If you’re finding your floors are losing their luster or feeling sticky, you might be using too much product or water. Less is more when it comes to wood floor care.

So, how often should you clean your wood floors?

• Sweep: Daily (or whenever you see dirt).
• Mop: Weekly with a damp mop.
• Polish: Monthly.
• Deep Clean: Every few months.

Keep it simple, don’t go overboard, and your wood floors will thank you with years of scratch-free beauty and glossy shine.

Who knew keeping wood floors spotless didn’t have to be a chore? Well, now you do! So, grab that dust mop, put on some music, and get sweeping—your floors are waiting to sparkle!

Ah, the dorm room—a cozy 10x10 foot space you call home, surrounded by textbooks, laundry piles, snack wrappers, and maybe a rogue sock or two. Dorm life is an experience like no other, but with the excitement of independence comes the chaos of keeping your tiny kingdom clean.

Whether you’ve got a strict RA or just want a clutter-free study zone, this guide is your ultimate dorm-cleaning masterclass. Let’s turn your school sanctuary into a space that’s actually livable—and maybe even impressive.

Start With the Basics: Declutter Like You Mean It

Before you can bust out the mop and broom, you’ve got to tackle the chaos. Take a hard look around—does your desk resemble a paper factory explosion? Are those shoes multiplying on their own? Get rid of the unnecessary! Channel your inner Marie Kondo and ask yourself, "Does this crumpled packet of ramen really spark joy?"

Pro Tip: The 10-Minute Toss

Set a timer for 10 minutes, grab a trash bag, and go on a whirlwind purge. Toss out old papers, random snack wrappers, and anything that hasn't seen daylight in weeks. Once the clutter’s gone, cleaning becomes much easier—and trust me, it’s cathartic.

Dust It Off

Dorms are dust magnets, and the last thing you need is a sneezing fit during finals week. Dust off surfaces like your desk, shelves, and windowsills. If you’ve got a fan, don’t forget those blades—years of accumulated dust can’t be ignored!

Pro Tip: DIY Dust Buster

If you don’t have fancy cleaning tools, grab a Jumbo Microfiber cloth. Slightly dampen it and wipe surfaces down. Dust bunnies don’t stand a chance.

Sweep and Shine

Dorm floors see everything—shoes, snacks, the occasional mystery liquid. Depending on your room’s flooring (carpet or tile), you’ve got to approach cleaning with the right tools.

• Carpet: Vacuum once a week if possible. Borrow one from your dorm's front desk or invest in a compact one. A quick pass will keep things fresh.
• Tile/Hardwood: A Lola® Wet & Dry Floor Mop Starter Kit is your best friend. Get rid of dirt, crumbs, and anything else lurking underfoot.

Pro Tip: Sneaky Spots

Don’t forget the places you rarely think about: under the bed, behind your door, or under the mini-fridge. These spots tend to accumulate the grossest grime over time.

Laundry—Don’t Let It Take Over

That growing laundry mountain in the corner isn’t going to wash itself! Regular laundry days are crucial for keeping your room smelling fresh and avoiding the dreaded "Where’s my other sock?" panic.

Pro Tip: Hamper Hack

Use a collapsible hamper to save space and make laundry day less of a chore. No more piling clothes on your bed and pretending they aren’t there.

Kitchenette Chaos: Tackle the Mini-Fridge & Microwave

Got a mini-fridge? Trust me, it needs attention. That half-eaten pizza from two weeks ago? Yeah, that’s gotta go. Same goes for the microwave—if it’s looking like a Jackson Pollock painting from all the spills and splatters, it’s time for some elbow grease.

Pro Tip: Lemon Power

For a natural clean, microwave a bowl of water with lemon slices for a minute. The steam loosens up gunk, and the lemon leaves things smelling fresh. Wipe down with Anti-Microbial Clean N’ Wipe Cloths and voilà—instant clean!

Keep It Smelling Fresh

Dorms can get stuffy, so don’t forget to keep things smelling fresh. Crack a window when the weather’s nice or invest in a small air purifier if allergies are your nemesis. No one wants to walk into a room that smells like last night’s leftover burrito.

Pro Tip: DIY Air Freshener

Put a dryer sheet in front of your fan for a quick burst of freshness. Instant upgrade to your air quality!

Set a Cleaning Routine

Consistency is key. Don’t wait until your dorm is a total disaster before you clean. Set aside 15 minutes a few times a week to tidy up. That way, you’re not stuck with a marathon cleaning session before parents visit or during finals week.

Pro Tip: Study Break Cleaning

Instead of mindlessly scrolling on your phone during study breaks, clean one small area of your room. It’s productive procrastination at its finest.

Make It Fun

Cleaning doesn’t have to be boring. Blast your favorite playlist, grab some snacks for when you're done, and turn it into a mini event. You’ll be surprised how quickly the time flies when you’re jamming out to some good tunes.

Pro Tip: Cleaning Playlist

Create a playlist of your top five hype songs—by the time the last track plays, you’ll be done with your tasks and ready to relax in your now-spotless space.

Dorm life doesn’t have to mean living in a mess. With a few simple tips and a little bit of effort, you can transform your dorm from disaster zone to a pristine pad. So next time your friends come over, they won’t be stepping over laundry and crumbs—they’ll be stepping into the cleanest dorm on campus!

Bathrooms are notorious for their grime and gunk—places where soap scum, mildew, and mysterious stains thrive. If you’ve ever wondered why your bathroom feels like a scene from a horror movie, you’re not alone. But fear not! With a little elbow grease and the right techniques, you can transform your bathroom from a dingy dungeon into a sparkling sanctuary. Here’s your

The Toilet: The Throne of Filth

The toilet, often considered the crown jewel of bathroom grime, is a breeding ground for bacteria and stains. To tackle this task, you’ll need a powerful cleaner. Opt for a toilet bowl cleaner with disinfectant properties like our 500 Brushes. Don’t forget to tackle the rim and under the seat—those hidden areas can be shockingly dirty. For extra shine, you can use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve stubborn stains.

The Shower head: A Hotbed of Hard Water Deposits

Your shower head, while a crucial part of your daily routine, often becomes a casualty of hard water deposits and mineral buildup. Start by removing the shower head if possible. Submerge it in a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water for about an hour. If removing it isn’t an option, fill a plastic bag with vinegar and secure it around the shower head with a rubber band. After soaking, scrub with a Iron Handled Scrubber to dislodge any remaining deposits. Rinse thoroughly to restore the flow of clean water.

The Grout: The Unseen Enemy

Grout lines between tiles are a magnet for mold, mildew, and dirt. To clean them, create a paste with baking soda and water. Apply it to the grout lines and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Next, scrub with a Large Scrub Brush. For tougher stains, add a bit of hydrogen peroxide to your paste for an extra boost. Rinse with clean water and admire the transformation. Sealing the grout after cleaning can help prevent future buildup.

The Bathroom Fan: The Forgotten Filter

Bathroom fans are crucial for ventilation, but they often accumulate dust and grime over time. To clean your bathroom fan, turn off the power at the circuit breaker to ensure safety. Remove the cover and vacuum away the dust. For a deeper clean, use a damp Jumbo Microfiber Cloth to wipe down the fan blades and the cover. Make sure everything is completely dry before reassembling and turning the power back on. A clean fan will operate more efficiently and help prevent moisture problems in your bathroom.

The Sink: A Hotspot for Soap Scum

Your bathroom sink, while frequently used, can often be overlooked in cleaning routines. Start by removing any items from the sink and cleaning the drain with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Scrub the sink with a Bath & Tile Scrubber, paying special attention to the faucet and handles where grime can accumulate. For a sparkling finish, rinse with warm water and dry with an AntI-Microbial Clean N’ Wipe Cloth to avoid water spots. If you have a stainless steel sink, a touch of olive oil can give it a polished shine.

Bonus Tip: Preventative Measures

To keep your bathroom cleaner for longer, consider implementing some preventative measures. Regularly wipe down surfaces with disinfecting wipes, use a squeegee on your shower walls after each use to prevent soap scum buildup, and keep a bathroom cleaning caddy stocked with your favorite products. A little maintenance goes a long way in keeping those grimy spots at bay.

With these tips and tricks, you’ll have your bathroom looking pristine and inviting in no time. So roll up your sleeves, grab your cleaning supplies, and get ready to conquer the grime!

When those tiny, winged nuisances start flitting around your kitchen, it’s not just a minor inconvenience—it’s a full-blown pantry pest crisis. Pantry moths, also known as Indian meal moths, can turn your neatly organized kitchen into their personal buffet. But fear not! With a few clever strategies, you can reclaim your pantry and keep these invaders at bay. Here’s your ultimate guide to kicking pantry moths to the curb.

The Early Bird Catches the Moth

The first step to combatting a pantry moth invasion is to spot them before they turn your kitchen into a moth metropolis. Keep an eye out for small, fluttering moths around your pantry and kitchen. Their larvae are more insidious; you’ll often find them hiding in cracks, corners, or nestled inside your foodstuffs. If you spot any, take immediate action.

Clear Out and Clean Up

Begin your moth-fighting mission by emptying out your pantry. This means removing every item, from that half-used bag of flour to your favorite box of cereal. Don’t forget to check every nook and cranny, including the shelves and behind appliances. Vacuum the pantry thoroughly, including all corners, crevices, and the floor. This will remove any eggs, larvae, or adult moths hiding out. After vacuuming, wipe down all surfaces with Jumbo Microfiber Cloth, dipped in a mixture of water and vinegar to ensure you eliminate any remaining residue.

Inspect and Toss

Examine all your pantry items carefully. Moths love grains, nuts, and dried fruits, so be especially vigilant with these items. If you find any signs of infestation—webbing, larvae, or adult moths—dispose of the contaminated food immediately. Seal it in a plastic bag before throwing it away to prevent the moths from spreading to other areas.

Seal the Deal

To prevent future infestations, store your food in airtight containers. Glass jars or plastic bins with tight-fitting lids work best. This simple step not only keeps your food fresh but also prevents moths from getting to their next meal. For added protection, consider using moth-repellent sachets or natural deterrents like bay leaves or cedar blocks in your pantry.

Set Traps

Moth traps are an effective way to monitor and control a moth problem. These traps use pheromones to attract and capture adult moths, helping you gauge the severity of the infestation. Place them in various spots around your pantry and kitchen. If you notice a high number of moths in the traps, you may need to take further action.

Professional Help

If your pantry moth problem persists despite your best efforts, it may be time to call in the experts. Pest control professionals can provide more intensive treatments and advice tailored to your specific situation. They can also help identify any underlying issues that might be contributing to the infestation.

Regular Maintenance

Once you’ve tackled the initial infestation, keep your kitchen and pantry in top shape. Regularly inspect your food items, clean your pantry, and ensure that all food is stored properly. By maintaining vigilance and cleanliness, you’ll help prevent future moth invasions.

By following these steps, you can evict pantry moths and protect your kitchen from these pesky intruders. With a little effort and diligence, you’ll keep your pantry moth-free and your food secure. So, roll up your sleeves, grab your vacuum, and say goodbye to pantry pests for good!

Painting your walls can transform a room from drab to fab, but achieving that perfect finish starts long before the first brushstroke. Cleaning your walls thoroughly before painting is essential to ensure the paint adheres well and lasts longer. Here's a step-by-step guide to getting your walls squeaky clean and ready for that new coat of color.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before diving into the cleaning process, make sure you have all the necessary supplies:

• Mild dish soap or a gentle wall cleaner
• Buckets
• Natural Cellulose Scrub Sponge and Jumbo Microfiber Cloth
• A vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment
• A step ladder
• Painter's tape
• Drop cloths or old sheets to protect your floors

Step 2: Protect Your Space

Start by moving furniture away from the walls and covering the floor with drop cloths or old sheets. This will protect your belongings and floors from any water or cleaning solutions that might drip. Use painter's tape to cover any outlets, switches, and trim to prevent them from getting wet or damaged.

Step 3: Dust and Vacuum

Dust and cobwebs can prevent paint from adhering properly. Use a 360° Extender Duster Kit to gently remove dust from the walls, especially in corners and along the ceiling. Pay special attention to areas behind radiators and other fixtures where dust tends to accumulate.

Step 4: Spot Clean Stains

Inspect your walls for any stains or marks. Common culprits include fingerprints, grease spots, and scuff marks. For stubborn stains, mix a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water and gently scrub the affected areas with a Natural Cellulose Scrub Sponge. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the wall's surface.

Step 5: Wash the Walls

Once the stains are removed, it's time to wash the entire wall surface. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap or a gentle wall cleaner. Dip Jumbo Microfiber Cloth into the solution, wring out the excess water, and start wiping down the walls from top to bottom. Working in sections, rinse the cloth frequently and change the water when it becomes dirty.

Step 6: Rinse and Dry

After washing the walls, rinse them with clean water to remove any soap residue. Use a clean Jumbo Microfiber Cloth dipped in fresh water and go over the walls again. Make sure to wring out the cloth well to avoid soaking the walls. Once rinsed, use a dry microfiber cloth to gently pat the walls dry. If you have time, let the walls air dry completely overnight before painting.

Step 7: Inspect for Repairs

With clean walls, it's easier to spot any imperfections that might need attention before painting. Look for cracks, holes, or peeling paint and repair them with spackle or filler. Sand down any rough spots to ensure a smooth surface for painting.

Step 8: Prime Time

Before applying your chosen paint color, consider using a primer. Primer helps to seal the walls, providing a better surface for the paint to adhere to and enhancing the overall finish. Choose a primer that is appropriate for your wall type and follow the manufacturer's instructions for application.

Cleaning your walls may seem like a tedious task, but it’s a crucial step in the painting process that can make all the difference. A clean, smooth surface ensures that your paint job will look professional and last for years to come. So grab your supplies, put on your favorite playlist, and get ready to scrub, prep, and paint your way to a beautiful new space!
