Welcome to August and the dog days of summer, where the
fruit gets sweeter and juicer by the day. I love having fresh fruit available
for my family and friends, but I over the years, I’ve noticed that kids won’t
think twice about eating fruit that may or may not be washed. Recently, Arm and
Hammer sent me a fabulous solution; their Fruit & Vegetable Wash along with
two other helpful cleaning essentials I think you are going to love as much as
I do.

Weekly Cleaning Series Relaunch!
I’ve been a
fan Arm and Hammer laundry and cleaning supplies for years. As a matter of
fact, one of the most popular posts here on the blog was my Baking Soda Cleaning Tips as part of my weekly cleaning prompts. Consider this my
relaunch of this cleaning series! Please let me know in comments if there is
any cleaning topics you’d like to see my cover. Here are the three cleaning products I think
you are going to love.
About Arm & Hammer Fruit & Vegetable Wash:
This pure
and simple formula has the cleaning power of baking soda, salt, and plant-derived
ingredients. In fact, this was the first food contact product to receive the
Safer Choice certification. What does that mean to us? If a product has this
label, it means that it must demonstrate being effective, while only using
ingredients that are safe for families. You can feel confident that using this
spray wash on your fruits and veggies is safely eliminating pesticides and wax
without leaving any unwanted cleaners. Using it is quick and easy too. Just
spray your produce, gently rub produce to help remove dirt/wax, then rinse. I gently
dry my fruit with a paper towel and place in a bowl.
What I love:
I’ve found that by cleaning and drying my summer fruits, my family will eat
them faster meaning less food waste!
About Oxi Clean on The Go Stain Remover Pen:
Is it just
me, or does wearing white attract stains? I adore wearing crisp, white cotton in
summer, but invariably I’ll get a stain from the aforementioned summer fruit,
or worse, ketchup or mustard stains! Those are the worst and provide a cleaning
challenge if you aren’t at home. Oxi Clean on the go stain remover pen to the
rescue! With ingredients like water, biodegradable cleaning agents and hydrogen
peroxide, I feel it’s safe to use on most fabrics. I love that it has a handy stain fighting
scrubber tip and provides you with double the amount of cleaner compared to
other brands. I have this pen in my purse, so if I get a stain, I can clean it
quickly. It’s easy to use to. Here’s how.
- Remove any food particles you can gently with your fingers.
- Place a napkin behind the stain if possible.
- Squeeze the pen to get cleaner to tip.
- Use scrubber like an eraser to eliminate stain.
- Blot with napkin to remove any excess solution.
What I love:
The scrubber tip! And, the scent is pleasant and not overpowering at all.
About Arm
& Hammer Garbage Disposal Cleaner:
Meet your
kitchens newest cleaning essential! We cook (and clean) a lot in our kitchen,
so the garbage disposal is pressed into service often. Nothing is worse than
standing at the kitchen window, gazing out at the pretty day only to be assaulted
by the odor coming from your sink. With the power of baking soda, these citrus
fresh scent capsules pack a cleaning punch. They eliminate odors instantly and are so easy
to use.
- Run disposal with full stream of cold water for one minute.
- Turn off disposal and run slow stream of water.
- Drop a capsule into disposal and turn on disposal for 15 seconds.
- Turn off disposal and water.
What I love:
You can revive the fresh scent for a day or two with short blasts of hot water
down the disposal. Easy to remember to do once a week for lasting freshness.
