Spring-cleaning As a Way to Exercise
This month, make a pact to get your house clean, and take a step toward getting in shape. When you perform simple household chores, you can burn almost 300 calories in one hour! Here are some ideas to get started on shaping up your house and your body.
Start Your Vacuum!

Vacuuming works all sorts of muscles in your upper body. And when you vacuum the stairs, you're getting your legs into the action, too.


Trap and Lock the Dirt on Your Floors

If a 140-pound person cleans the floors for 30 minutes, he or she can burn 143 calories. That's actually more calories burned than walking for the same amount of time at a 3.5-mph pace!

To clean your floors better than with a mop and a bucket, try Swiffer® WetJet®. With a large scrubby strip, a dual-nozzle sprayer and a strong pole, it can help you break up and dissolve tough messes with ease. Swiffer WetJet is designed to clean virtually all of the floors in your home, including finished wood floors, vinyl, tile, marble and laminate.*

* Do not use Swiffer WetJet on unfinished, oiled or waxed wooden boards, non-sealed tiles or carpeted floors.


Wash Those Windows

It might be too cold to wash the outsides of your windows, but you still can wash the insides. Window washing is great for toning your arms and shoulders.

Mr. Clean® Multi-Surfaces Spray Cleaner With Febreze® Freshness™ can clean virtually all of your glass windows to a streak-free shine.
