Spring-cleaning As a Way to Exercise

 
Febreze Carpet Odor Eliminator and Mr. Clean® Multi-Surfaces Spray can help give your house the clean you want.
 
Did You Know?

Window washing is great for toning your arms and shoulders.
As the year unfolds, tackle two resolutions in one — 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 in on the action, too.

For even fresher carpet after vacuuming, try Febreze® Carpet Odor Eliminator. Simply spray it and let it dry. In seconds, it helps eliminate odors at the source. Plus, it leaves behind a light, fresh scent.


Get on the Floor

If a 140-pound person mops 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!

For extra credit (and extra burned calories), get down on your hands and knees and really scrub.


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 can clean all of your glass windows to a streak-free shine.
