While Spring Cleaning is well-known for that feeling of refreshing all-the-things, opening windows, and preparing for a fresh and sunny start to the months ahead, Fall Cleaning just doesn’t get the same buzz and excitement.
Every fall after the kids return to school, I do a fall deep clean. I pack away (most of) the summer clothes, bring out the cozy blankets, and reorganize closets, storage and pantry. It’s also a great time to clean floors and walls that have been covered with dirty bare feet and sticky frozen-treat hands.
This year, I have some lovely scented and great performing products from Cucina, available to order at Avon Canada.
Used in both the kitchen and the bathroom, thanks to the 1L Orange Sanguinelli & Fennel hand soap refill that I got to refill the beautiful glass 500ml hand soap in the same scent, the scent is such a nice change from the usual and stays on your hands afterwards which is nice too. Other scents in hand soap include Verbena and Yuzu Hand Soap with Olive Oil, Sea Salt and Amalfi Lemon Hand Soap with Olive Oil, Coriander and Olive Tree Hand Soap with Olive Oil, and Grapefruit and Rhubarb Hand Soap with Olive Oil. Each hand soap is Reg $24 (on sale for $20 at time of writing) and the refills for these scents come in 600ml pouches for Reg $26 (on sale for $22 at time of writing).
In the kitchen, I’ve been using Cucina Sea Salt and Amalfi Lemon Concentrated Dish Detergent (Reg $9.00)
Biodegradable and efficient! The Cucina concentrated dish detergent respects the environment. Acting as a powerful degreaser, it contains a cleansing base that is soft on hands.
Both fresh and delicate, this refined fragrance combines the sparkling notes of Amalfi lemon with the softness of sea salt. Its fresh surge is redolent of a Mediterranean breeze. Later follow the warm notes of salt and musk, reminiscent of the sea-side scenery, and an aromatic and floral bouquet to finish this fragrance with an accent of Mediterranean greenery.
Thanks to this product’s high concentration level, only a few drops are required at every use to clean and degrease your dishes. 500 ml.
Also, a nice new addition is the Cucina Kitchen Mist (Lime Zest) and Candle (Coriander and Olive Tree) to give the kitchen a fresh, clean scent.
Of course, you can find a huge variety of Cucina products at Avon.ca, or in a brochure available through your local Avon representative. Don’t have one? I find the best way to ask for a referral is through your social media channels – people are always happy to refer someone they know to help!
