Fab Freebie: Get Your Soapbox On

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – check back soon to see who won!***

Good news – everyone can get 10% off Mrs. Jones Soapbox products using code YHL10! Even better news (for two of you), random.org has chosen our winners as… Jenna (who can’t wait to clean up and declutter her office) and Erica (who’s excited to clean her garage of all the winter cobwebs, salt and dirt). Congrats!

Spring is (mostly) in the air, so we figured this week’s freebie will excite anyone who is setting out to do some spring cleaning and doesn’t want to disturb the fresh spring air with the scent of chemical cleaners. Since we’re not ones to get on our soapbox, we’ll let Mrs. Jones do it instead. Mrs. Jones Soapbox is a line of natural homemade cleaning products that work. And they come in recycled and reusable packaging. What’s not to like about that? Plus, you get your choice of glass or plastic packaging – either of which is pretty enough to leave out on the counter (you know Sherry goes crazy for the “they look so posh” glass bottles, right?).

JonesSoapbox

  • PRIZE: All Mrs. Jones’ Soapbox products shown: 5 piece Combo Kit (including Clean, Shine, Soapy, Sparkle, and Scrub) plus an 80-wash jar of Laundry Detergent (a $60 value)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SPRING CLEAN ME…” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … mention something that you’re desperate to tidy up, organize, or scrub down. Is it your tub? Your windows? All that desk clutter?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 30th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States and Canada
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Mrs. Jones Soapbox.

      SPRING CLEAN ME!

      My husband and I just moved into a house that we thought would be ready to organize and decorate immediately. That didn’t quite happen. We are now tiling the floors of both bathrooms, cleaning dog hair out of the fridge, and trying to figure out how to clean between the window panes of both the oven and microwave where grimey stuff has found a secure home. We need to deep clean everything!

    My fiance and I are actually moving into a new home this week, and the previous renters did not seem to take the best care of the bathrooms, so this would be great to give both bathrooms a nice scrub down!! Plus, I don’t want to have to try to get clean in someone else’s dirt!

    Cleaning it is a work in progress.

    I just tried the Real Simple method (that someone had referenced in the comments to one of your older posts) of mixing lemon juice with cream of tartar for scrubbing/cleaning tile grout. And it worked! But I ran out of the mixture and so I have to finish in the next couple of days…

    That’s what I’m Spring Cleaning!

    Really, I need the Cat in the Hat to swoop in and do the whole house! But right now my target is my daughter’s Legos–masterpieces or not, I just need to throw every single Lego piece into the big yellow bin we already own. I guess it’s the Virgo in me–I hate to mix everything together, and ideally would want a separate container foreverything she builds! Gotta start somewhere, though–wish me luck!
