A Busy Mom's Cleaning & Disinfecting Hack, That Always Has Her Back!

As a mother of three with a full-time job and a household that never seems to slow down, I’m no stranger to chaos - especially when it comes to cleaning. My days often start with spilled milk or cereal, move on to muddy footprints by noon, and proceed to spilled dinner or dinner makings and sticky handprints on just about every surface you can imagine. And then there’s our puppy. Between his failed potty attempts, the remains of whatever he dragged or tracked in during the day, remnants of every snack and meal consumed by every resident, as well as the usual dose of dirt, dust, grease and grime my family generates on a daily basis, keeping our home clean used to feel like a never-ending, never-winning, uphill slog.
 
For years, I relied on an entire shelf full of individual, task-specific cleaning products. There was one for the bathrooms, one for the kitchen, one for glass, one for carpets, a pet stain remover, an odor neutralizer, something for metals, one for floors, and another set of all of them for sanitizing and disinfecting.  And of course, each product had its own use instructions and safety warnings. Some had to be mixed, some had to be diluted, some required numerous steps, some had to be sprayed, others brushed, and all of it was exhausting! And as a mom, I was always worried about using them around my kids and pup, especially after reading their labels. I knew there had to be a better way. And there was, starting the day I discovered PermaSafe CLEAN. Quite honestly, it CHANGED EVERYTHING!
 
What makes PermaSafe CLEAN different from other “all-purpose” cleaners is that it truly lives up to the name - and then some. Far more than just a multi-surface cleaner, CLEAN is an advanced level, EPA-registered disinfectant; hard, soft and food-contact surface sanitizer; odor eliminator; and mold, mildew, fungi and allergen remover … all in one. For someone like me who’s short on time and big on cleanliness and safety, it’s the one product I didn’t know I needed, until I had it.
 
One of the first things that caught my attention was its versatility. CLEAN isn’t just a cleaner, it’s an “Every Surface Cleaner,” that not only cleans, but also eliminates harmful bacteria on, well, pretty much EVERY surface. I use it to clean my kitchen counters and stovetops, for sanitizing baby bottles, cleaning and sanitizing floors, bathrooms, doorknobs, windows, appliances, remote controls, computer screens, and keyboards, highchairs, all kinds of upholstery, and pretty much any and every other surface in my home. It’s also an amazing stain remover that I use to  eliminate both food and pet stains from carpets, clothing, furniture, and whatever else my kids or puppy soil or relieve themselves on. If it’s in, on, or part of my house, chances are I’ve used PermaSafe CLEAN to clean and sanitize it!
 
The best part? It’s incredibly safe to use around kids and pets. Unlike so many traditional cleaners and disinfectants, PermaSafe CLEAN contains no harsh chemicals, no bleach, no ammonia, and no phosphates. It’s also non-toxic, non-irritating, and fragrance-free - perfect for sensitive noses and allergy-prone households like mine. And because CLEAN is certified “Food Surface Safe” by the National Safety Foundation, there’s no need to rinse surfaces after applying it, even on surfaces that come into contact with food. That means I can clean a cutting board with it, let it dry, and immediately start cutting meats and vegetables on it without worrying about chemical residues. In fact restaurants use it to sanitize glasses, again, without rinsing them off after it’s applied.
 
Now let’s talk about effectiveness. I’ve used a lot of disinfectant cleaners that smelled strong and promised miracles but didn’t deliver. PermaSafe CLEAN, however, eliminates up to 99.999% of bacteria and viruses, including some of the most concerning and resistant ones, like MRSA, Norovirus, RSV, H1N1, Legionella, P. Aeruginosa, Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, and the Ebola Virus. It also eliminates more common germs that cause everyday illness, making it an essential part of my cleaning routine - especially during cold and flu season.
 
As a mom, I appreciate that PermaSafe CLEAN is designed for daily use. Some disinfectants are so harsh they recommend wearing gloves and masks, have various ventilation requirements, or instruct you to have everyone vacate the area you’re treating. Not PermaSafe CLEAN. It’s actually EPA rated Category IV for toxicity, the very lowest toxicity rating any disinfectant can be awarded, and one that means no gloves or other PPE are required when using it, no rinsing or wiping is necessary after it’s used, and no Precautionary Statements or Hazard Warnings are even necessary on its labels!  This alone makes it an easy pick for moms, and a natural choice for daily use.
 
And did I mention how easy it is to use? There’s no mixing or diluting. And it’s proven, and EPA registered to clean, disinfect, and deodorize all in one simple “Spray and Walk Away” step. That’s it! No next steps, no sticky residue, no streaking, and no overpowering chemical fumes or smells. It also dries quickly and clear, is water based, PH balanced and won’t stain any surface that water won’t. I can clean and sanitize my whole house while my toddler is napping, and by the time he wakes up, you’d never know it.
 
Another big win for me? It eliminates odors at their source. I’ve tried so many deodorizers that only masked pet smells or food odors temporarily. Instead of covering up odors with perfume-like smells, PermaSafe CLEAN actually eliminates them, and quickly, through the process of oxidization, which is a huge plus in a household with pets and kids. Whether it’s spilled milk, pet urine, tobacco smoke, or a mysterious smell coming from your kid’s soccer cleats, you can count on CLEAN to make the smell disappear.
 
Over time, I’ve also come to appreciate its mold and mildew-fighting power. Living in a humid climate, this is something we deal with year-round. I use PermaSafe CLEAN on shower tiles, under the kitchen sink, and even inside the garbage can to keep things fresh and clean. According to CLEAN’s EPA approved labeling, it not only kills mold, mildew and fungi (including Athletes Foot) on just about any surface, it also prevents its return for up to one month. That makes that one less thing I have to worry about!
 
As someone who cares about the environment, I’m also glad to know PermaSafe CLEAN is biodegradable compliant with VOC laws, and people, pet, planet and all surface safe. Even their packaging is recyclable, which helps us all reduce our household waste.
 
These days, my cleaning routine is as streamlined as it’s ever been. I no longer need a different bottle of stuff for every task and mess. Do-it-all CLEAN handles just about every surface and air hygiene need I ever encounter.  And that simplicity has not only freed up cabinet space, but also my time, while giving me oodles of peace of mind! And that is worth its weight in gold!
 
So, if you’re like me, and juggling a growing family, a career, and a household that refuses to stay clean, do yourself a favor and try PermaSafe CLEAN. It’s more than a multi-use cleaning product. It’s a SOLUTION that simplifies your life, protects your loved ones, and lets you spend less time scrubbing and more time living.
