When I first started my blog the first year we were married David was working for Klausmeyer Construction and could be sent out of Town at any given time or he would have to work over nights and that didn’t change when he moved to ATS and even when he first started at the Airport he worked nights.
Back then before Charlie was born and until we moved into our Mobile Home keeping our home clean and organized was always my domain. I loved creating a home that felt welcoming, comfortable, and cared for. Back then, I had my favorite cleaning products that I reached for again and again, and one of those staples was always Clorox Wipes.
I remember when my mom was visiting a glass of Sweet Tea got spilled and I handed up a wipe to wipe the table up with. She kept saying I need something to clean the table with. I said I know use this wipe and she was so surprised because she hadn’t ever seen them. After trying them she feel in love with the wipes just like me and she thought they were better than sliced bread. She love sharing the Clorox Wipes with everyone she knew.
When David was working nights, it was just me and Charlie and I at home during the evening. That was also when we were beginning our homeschool journey because Charlie couldn’t get into Pre-K. Our days were filled with lessons, activities, and adventures together.
In the evenings I spent so much of my time outside with Charlie, making memories, exploring, and enjoying those precious moments while he was young. So Charlie would sleep in later because David had to sleep during the day for work that night. Which is why Clorox Wipes became my best friend.
No matter how busy our days became, I always made it a priority to have the house picked up and a meal ready before David walked through the door after work. It was my way of taking care of our family and making sure home felt like a place where we could all come together at the end of the day.
Over the years, life changed and our family grew. As Charlie got older, I began homeschooling, building a business, and balancing new responsibilities. Slowly, the everyday routines in our home began to change too. David finally got a day shift and life balanced out as we were home in the evenings as a family.
Even though David was working a full day outside the home, he stepped in and took over many of the day-to-day tasks, including cooking and cleaning. As our family adjusted to my health challenges, we continued that routine. Today, the kitchen is still very much David’s space.
And anyone who knows David knows that when he cooks, he cooks with his whole heart. He enjoys making meals for our family, trying recipes, and creating memories around the table. Of course, all that cooking also means that when I walk into the kitchen the next morning, there is usually a little or more times than not a huge cleanup waiting for me.
That is where Clorox Fresh Scent Disinfecting Wipes come back into the story. The funny thing is, even though Clorox wipes were originally a product I loved using around our home, David has developed his own preferences over the years. When it comes to the kitchen, he prefers a fresh, clean scent over anything floral or fruity.
That makes perfect sense because the kitchen is where we cook, bake, enjoy coffee, and gather as a family. David doesn’t want a floral fragrance competing with the smells of the meals he prepares. He wants that simple feeling of a clean kitchen, and Clorox Fresh Scent Disinfecting Wipes provide exactly what he is looking for.
While Charlie and I love those softer, sweeter fragrances that bring a little extra joy to certain rooms of our home, the kitchen has always been David’s space. A fresh, classic scent fits perfectly with the way he uses the room. One of the things I have learned during our Grace by Grace room-by-room home refresh is that every space has its own personality. The products we choose can help create the feeling we want in each room.
For our kitchen, Clorox Fresh Scent Disinfecting Wipes are the perfect match. They help make cleanup easier after family meals, cooking adventures, and everyday moments without adding a fragrance that takes away from the heart of the room. They even work in the dinning room ie man cave.
If you love a softer, more floral scent for other areas of your home, be sure to read my review of Clorox Scentiva Cherry Blossom & Peach Disinfecting Wipes. That fragrance brings a completely different feeling and is perfect for spaces where you want a pretty, refreshing touch.
Different rooms. Different personalities. Different scents. And that is part of what makes a house feel like home.
Grateful, Thankful, and Blessed
