Our hardwood floors in our kitchen were diiiiiisgusting.  About this same unfortunate orange color  that we have in our dining and living rooms but ten times more beat up.  The kitchen once housed a sweet old bulldog and a blue tick hound I wanted to write into the contract.  While super cute, they definitely gave the floor a ton of wear.  We will eventually get the orange taken care of in our other rooms but first things first were those kitchen floors!  Realtors have a way of seeing charm in everything and when we looked at our house she said “you got to love those old country floors”… and when you really want a house you find the grace in them too.  But now that they are refinished I am trying to take good care of them.  Especially now that I am most definitely in crazy nesting mode.  Everrrrything must be clean and every piece of laundry done.  at all times.  I joke.  kiiiinda.
 Enter the Bona hardwood floor cleaner and mop.
It’s safe for my family; Non Toxic and GREENGUARD certified.  Which is a big deal to me!
It doesn’t leave a residue behind and is super easy for 35 week pregnant me to just do a quick run through my kitchen at the end of the day.

A few easy habits I have to stay on top of everyday chores:
– I hardly ever use paper towels or paper products in general.  We use cloth napkins and dish towels for most everything. When people ask me where my paper towels are I’m always like ummmm i know we have them somewhere (they are always under the sink)!  but here’s a dish towel.  I keep a little bucket in the cabinet above our washer and do a load for dish towels, cloth napkins, rags and now the mop part of the Bona hardwood floor cleaner.  The fact that the mop part is reusable is a huge plus to me.
-I do at least two loads of wash a day.  It makes life ten times easier and there’s no crazy Sunday laundry party.  As fun as those are … (;
– at the end of the night I like to make sure the kitchen sink and kitchen counters are clean.
Waking up to that starts my day off so much better.

*Though this is a sponsored post by Bona, the guy that redid our floors actually recommended Bona for us to use on the newly refinished floors.  + it’s non toxic.  I’m a fan (:*
