There you go.
My very first vlog.
(That’s a “video log,” in case anyone thinks I’ve acquired a potty-mouth.)
It’s belated, because I’m a belated-kind-of-gal. My great ideas tend to come to me right when it’s almost too late to implement them. But since this is my very own blog, I get to do what I want and host a birthday giveaway 5 days after my birthday.
I have loved all of the cleaning tools that Libman sent me as their brand ambassador. And I really love that when I asked them if I could do a giveaway of some of the tools, they said, “Sure!”
They didn’t even bat an eye when I said, “Ummm, how about tomorrow?”
Anyway, as I’ve said many times in this deslobification process I’m going through, I’ve had to accept that no cleaning gadget or tool is going to keep my house clean. I have to keep my house clean.
But it does help to at least own some good tools.
So one lucky commenter is going to be sent a set of five cleaning tools from Libman. They aren’t exactly the same as the ones I used in the vlog.
Those were my Libman tools, used as props.
In my ever-so-professional video.
NOTE: Giveaway has ended.
Here are the actual tools in the giveaway:
The Whisk and Dust Pan (Perfect for having little ones help clean up!)
Power Scrub Brush (I keep this one in my shower for impromptu scrubbing sessions. Scrubbing the shower, not me.)
Curved Kitchen Brush (I’m actually jealous because I don’t have this one.)
Plus one that I can’t post pictures of because I tried to resize it and messed it up somehow.
It’s the Designer Bowl Brush . . . or as I generally refer to mine . . . a toilet brush.
Also included is my absolute favorite:
The Dish Scrub and Soap Dispenser
They were going to send the winner their five top-selling of these types of products, but I requested that this one replace the grout-scrubber. Mostly because I LOVE this dish scrubber so much. I’ve had things before where you put the soap in the scrubber itself, but this one is far superior to any I’ve used before. It’s perfect for dishes, and I love to use it to give my sink a quick scrub-down.
Besides, do people actually clean their grout? I suppose they must, since it’s a top-seller, but I always just pretend that mine is supposed to be that color.
NOTE: Giveaway is now over.
All you have to do to enter the giveaway is leave a comment on this post. Nothing special is required in your comment, but make sure that you include a way to contact you. You may want to avoid the spam-robots by spelling it out like this: aslobcomesclean at gmail dot com. Some of you with google accounts have it set up where I can email you through your profile when you comment, but if you’re not sure, leave your email.
If you’re at work and can’t watch the vlog, don’t worry, there’s nothing in it that’s needed to enter the giveaway. Actually, there’s nothing in it that’s needed for anything. It’s just me having fun with hubby’s new iphone!
If you would like some extra entries, you can:
Like Libman on Facebook.
Subscribe to A Slob Comes Clean
Subscribe to A Slob Comes Clean by Email
Become a follower over on my sidebar.
and/or follow me on twitter.
For each of those things that you do, leave a separate comment, so that it can be counted as another entry.
Example:
Comment #1 – Oh my word, you’re so hilarious, and don’t look like a total dork at all in that vlog!!! aslobcomesclean at gmail dot com
Comment # 2 – I followed you on twitter! aslobcomesclean at gmail dot com
Comment # 3 – I already subscribe to your blog! aslobcomesclean at gmail dot com
Please be aware that if you already subscribe, you need to click through to the actual post to comment, as responding to the email can’t count as an entry. And your comment has to be on this post. Commenting on youtube or facebook will make me happy, but it won’t count as an entry to the giveaway. This giveaway will end at midnight Pacific time on February 1, and then I’ll use random.org to select a winner.
Sorry, but this giveaway is only open to U.S. residents.
I received no monetary compensation for this post, but was provided with fabulous cleaning tools by Libman. The opinions are all mine!

I love, love, love, your blog. The first post I read was the defining normal, I read it out loud to my family and thought it was me you were talking about. I love how you put into words how my brain works. Well that's a lot to say to get a toilet brush, but really just love reading about your progress and being inspired to make my own.

Love the vlog and would love the scrubbies, but agreed, not as a birthday gift…although, I did get a 16 gallon shop-vac for mother's day once. I smiled and said, you're joking right? nope. hubby loves the thing and I'm thinking about getting him a kitchenaid mixer for this father's day too 🙂 hope to see more vlog's soon!!

Melissa Dykstra says
Thanks for your great vlog! I mean really, I think that your vlog is kind of like a peek into the average, NORMAL, housewife. At least one with young children. I was a neat freak before I had kids. But now, I am in slob land with exploding closets and fossils in my minivan flooring. The top of my fridge is an avalanche waiting to happen and if a door can hide it, a mess will be left as my dirty little secret.
Please keep up your webisodes. You make me feel so NORMAL!
