So, you put your hand up to host Christmas dinner, and now you’re in panic stations as December edges closer, the house is in desperate need of a solid clean, and you're rapidly running out of time. We've all been there. If you're worried about the fam looking too closely at your surfaces and you're too strapped for cash to fork out for a cleaner, that grey bottle once lurking around your dad's shed has now made its way into the home ready to spruce your surfaces just in time for summer party season.
Enter CLR Calcium, Limescale & Rust Remover, the easy-to-use cleaning solution ready to breathe new life into your pad. This powerful Aussie-made product removes calcium, limescale build up, rust, salt, soap scum or any yellowing causing you bother. Tough on stains but gentle on the environment, CLR Calcium, Limescale & Rust Remover contains no phosphates, is septic safe (meaning it won’t cause chaos in your pipes) and is also recognised by the EPA’s Safer Choice Program as a safer alternative to traditional chemicals—so you can protect the planet while you clean.
To help you fret less as the festive season draws near, here are four tips to help get your home ready for an epic summer party season on a shoe-string budget.
Scrub-A-Dub The Tub
Sure, we don’t jump out of bed excited to clean clogged shower drains and toilet seats—but as a room your guests are highly likely to visit, you don’t want any mystery stains uncovered on a trip to the bathroom. CLR Ready To Use Spray available at good ol' Bunnings is good for the environment and kills 99.9% of those unsavoury germs meaning you can refresh even those delicate surfaces, spray and scrub those tile build-ups and get those glass panels sparkling.
Soak Up A Storm
Seafood fry ups with a chardy in hand—there’s nothing more iconically Aussie than long summer arvos spent chatting around the humble BBQ, so you need to make sure it’s in tip-top shape for the party season. Give your grill grates 2 -3 minutes to soak in a CLR Grease & Oil Remover solution that’ll cut stubborn grease, baked on food stains and all those nasty remnants of last weekend’s balmy outdoor antics.
Repair, Don’t Replace
Coffee machine looking a little worse-for-wear, but still brewing like a dream? Don’t be hasty in chucking it to the curb, let CLR work its magic to remove those rust stains and mineral deposits to give it a second life and save it from harmful landfill. If you’re working the dishwasher overtime with all those festive feasts, running an empty load with CLR will easily remove hard water build up, so your cutlery comes out sparkling time and time again.
Deck The Halls
Transform that neglected outdoor space into a summer soiree paradise with a breeze. Revitalise certain concretes or tile surfaces on the deck or patio using your reliable cleaning ally, then thoroughly rinse to bid farewell to unwelcome residues. Embellish your tablescape with plenty of floral cuttings from the garden, add bold patterns and textures to match the brightness of the season, then string some festoon lighting to add a touch of moodiness as the sun goes down. Cheers to your private entertaining oasis.
Available at all your local supermarkets and hardware stores, CLR Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover is light on the environment and super powerful on stains. Your go-to for keeping your casa spick and span this summer, be sure to stock up on your next grocery shop.
