The only household product I love is Spot Shot Carpet Cleaner. With a muddy back yard, 2 big dogs and white carpet, Spot Shot has become my new best friend. It works every time on ANY stain on the carpet.

haha – missing a household cleaner? yeah right…
The only one I might, kinda, miss is laundry detergent, I like All, and the smells they have. I love the smell of freshly laundered clothes…

I agree with Tiffani; I would miss my fresh laundry smell. However, the product I think I would miss the most are clorox wipes! I used to mop my whole ltichen floor with clorox wipes (before I had a clorox mop). They clean well and you know the germs are gone! They are also oh-so-convenient.
Swiffer is the household product I appreciate the most. The duster makes reaching those hidden, hard to reach spots so much easier. I am not as crazy as the woman in the commercial who Swiffers her firiend’s whole house, but the product works.

Really, I will miss Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. I add it to my laundry, I use it to freshen my carpets, I use it to clean my disposal, refrigerator, microwave. It’s natural and works great!

I refuse to feel weird about knowing that if I won free housecleaning for a day I’d miss vacuuming the most. I find the steady hum and instant gratification insanely soothing.

man, I cant say I’d miss anything, so lets go theoretical I’d say if I had a roomba scooba, that would be my most missed item. Pushing around dirt with a mop is not my cup of tea.
My favorite cleaning product is the Clorox disinfecting wipes in the Lavender scent… They do so much so quickly.
Here’s my tweet: Win housecleaning for a day from @alice! – http://tr.im/k0LX – After such a stressful week, I need this!!!

I would miss the Simple Green. That stuff cleans just about anything and smells good to boot.
I wouldn’t miss a thing ;)

I would definitely miss Clorox wipes. I use them daily to clean up the many messes the kids and cats make. They are so convenient!
http://twitter.com/stinkle/status/1651350075
I’d miss clorox wipes SO much, that I also blogged about it. (or I’m really desperate for someone to clean my house…)

I love windex! I guess I have been watching too much “MyBig Fat Greek Wedding” Windex is good for EVERYTHING!
I am the Windex QUEEN!

I would miss my Dyson. I really love using it, although with a baby due in a little over a week, I’ve been neglecting it terribly!
I tweeted this as well… thanks :) http://twitter.com/DineandDish
Oh, I so could use a free house cleaning!!! I already follow you on Twitter, and sent out a tweet:
http://twitter.com/DinkypopsNoMore/status/1652517799
I would miss my Calendrea’s Lavendar counter top spray. It’s such a safe, clean product that smells wonderful. Every time I wipe down the counter, I smile (as crazy as that sounds).
http://www.twitter.com/mrshart03
Let’s see…my favorite household product…I love those green Scotch-Brite scratchy scrubbers for dishes, and also for scrubbing the bathtub – they just cut through the grime in a great way!
http://twitter.com/mrsT1975
I’d probably miss vacuuming. My son hates the sound so he loves to climb into the carrier and cuddle with me while I vacuum…so yeah that’d be what I miss…
I haven’t cleaned the house in a long time because I can’t but I know my mother LOVES to use her own concotion of vinegar and water.
Suprisingly, it cleans very well!
Oh, here is my tweet :D

I’d miss my clorox wipes too….I love making my sinks shiny with them….darn kids grub them up right after though…. :P
Oh I’d miss my Simple Green too – it does wonders on EVERYTHING, and is healthy so I don’t have to worry about long term ramifications for myself or my family. I have 4 different bottles mixed – light duty, all purpose, medium duty, and heavy duty. I’ve used it for cleaning the toilets and the sinks, getting stains out of carpet, washing the walls, cleaning the kitchen (great on grime on the stove!!). I think I’ve used it for cleaning windows/mirrors too.
alice.com is giving away house cleaning for a day! Oh wow, that would be great! I would really miss my roomba, while drinking coffee and watching, hmmm, just the thought of someone else getting up the fur from 9 cats…. heaven, i’m in heaven….
I’d miss using my Roomba robotic vacuum. All I have to do is press the button and it vacuums for me!
I will miss (sort of) bit using my scrubbin bubbles shower cleaner because it works the best!!

I’ll miss using ABSOLUTELY NOTHING…thanks for the chance to win!

I would give this prize to my step-daughter. I know she would not miss the bathroom cleaning products or any other part of cleaning!
I follow on Twitter (sendtocindy). Here’s my tweet! http://twitter.com/sendtocindy/status/1656877633

I’d miss my Pledge dusting spray. I love the smell and the way it performs. However, I wouldn’t miss it too much if others were cleaning my house! Great giveaway, thanks for the chance to win.
Hmmmmm, what would i miss while someone else cleans my house……not much! I’m a big Windex and Pledge user, I suppose the look of wood right after you Pledge it. But really, not-so-much, don’t mind missing it at all :)
Thanks for an AWESOME giveaway. i hope Merry Maids has alot of traffic from this and decides to giveaway lots of free cleaning. Thank you Merry Maids.

My daughter dropped a piece of raw spaghetti in my keyboard and sometimes the caps key doesn’t work. I don’t know if Merry Maids vacuums keyboards, but if there’s spaghetti here, there’s probably spaghetti in more places. Ewwwww! Help Merry Maids, I need you.
Following you on Twitter also tweeted http://twitter.com/MsLatina

Thank you Alice.com and thanks to Merry Maids!
opps sorry I didn’t include the product I would miss using before so noting it here: I would miss cleaning the mirrors/windows with Windex. Think its kinda soothing to just mindlessly clean mirrors and windows, weird huh? Anywho I also am following you on Twitter and tweeted http://twitter.com/MsLatina
thanks for the GREAT giveaway!
The thing I’ll miss the most is the vaccum. I get OCD about the lines that are left in the carpet so I’m sure I’ll feel the maids didn’t do it right. LOL

I don’t think I would miss the toilet bowl brush! :-)
But I would miss using the magic eraser…still love that thing. I also have been using E-Cloths or similar on my windows and mirrors-they require no chemicals, just water, and I love thinking that they will never work, and they always do!
thanks!

Oh, and I don’t know if I have to say I’ll miss the magic eraser again in this comment because I said it in the 1st one??? But there, I said it! :-)

Of course, I would miss scooba!
thanks!

I’ll miss….nope I wouldn’t miss a thing, but I would probably rearrange the items put away in the kitchen nobody puts them away right accept me.
I actually like a vacuum that is small but is called the monster. It has a lot of power to it.
I have monster vaccum. I wish to buy or win.
I’d miss my post-cleaning self-satisfaction the most. But if Merry Maids used Johnson’s Floor Wax I could probably get over it.
Vinegar and water is such a versatile cleaner, but brand-wise I would miss the new Pledge Fabric Sweeper to help me handle the pug fur. I blogged: http://sweeps4bloggers.blogspot.com/2009/04/alice-merry-maids-giveaway-5209.html Thanks! and good luck to us all :)
I guess I’d miss my Trader Joe’s all purpose spray cleaner! But not really, I’d love some help!!
http://twitter.com/cornellian2001/status/1683236855
The cleaning product I would miss the most would have to be my Multi Surface Antibacterial Windex. I use it to clean everything. I, however, would not miss cleaning up the messes if I were to win…Considering I have a new baby, a toddler, and a school age child, this would make my day to win!

Hm, I suppose you are joking about missing a cleaner product! I’ll be missing the stench of the bathroom cleaners – nothing makes me appreciate fresh air more!
