Jennifer here-
I love finding new gadgets on the market that help me keep my home clean –I mean really clean. I am not one for dirt or grime at all, and of course with me having all my dogs, sometimes that is just not possible. Dog hair gets on the floor and it causes a lot of extra cleaning involved.
However, I recently discovered a new product that makes getting all that pet hair up seem like a breeze! Let me introduce you to Neato Robotics.
Neato Robotics has just released the XV-21 robot vacuum cleaner. It does everything that I hate to do — without me doing it! When I was reading the box, I thought to myself, “How in the world is this little machine going to clean my floor?”. I am here to tell you that it does that and more!
As soon as the machine was delivered to my home, I took it out of the box and charged it. I was chomping at the bit to see if it actually would do what it said it would do. As soon as it was charged (which only took about 2 hours for a full charge), I set the language on the Neato and then I let it rip to go hog wild on cleaning my carpets.
My dogs did not like my new toy.
The dogs were running all around my Neato trying to figure out just what it was doing. However, I knew it was really cleaning my carpets. In fact, it was picking up tons of hair and dust bunnies that I thought were already clean thanks to my daily vacuuming.
Watch this video to see how Neato Robotics really works! I am amazed at its capabilities.
My favorite aspect of the Neato is the fact that I can schedule it to clean. I don’t have to remember to turn it on. I just set the schedule and it does the rest.
I think I have fallen in love.
Neato can be purchased at places like Lowes, Sears, and Amazon. Neato retails for around $350.
You can find Neato on

We bought the Neato xv-21 which came recommended when you have pets and I must say it does a amazing job.
My husband started making a review of his new gadget at Neato XV-21
question: If you have a 2 story house, Do you have to buy 2 robots or are there other solutions?

Karin
Patti says
I feel very blessed to own a Neato (Rosie). It took us quite a while to save to buy her but i feel SO blessed.
I have been bedridden for 4 years and not able to do any cleaning. My husband who is 62 years old works at least 65 hours each week, sometimes more, yes that is correct, not a typo.
He has little time after work, laundry and preparing meals and weekly shopping for all the housework. Thanks to Neato some of his workload is reduced.
Cheri says
Just got my neato xv-21. I love it! My Electrical Engineer husband is amazed and pleased by how well she works. We named her Bi _ch (Yes I removed the letter t so as not to offend). We have 5 dogs in a large house. We need to vacuum everyday. Now the Bi_ch gets up every morning at 9:30 and vaccums the house. After about an hour and a half the bi_ch gets tired, rests, and then about an hour or so later returns to where she left off. On the weekend I told my kids, “you better get up, it’s almost 9:30 and the Bi_ch is going to vacuum whether you’re awake or not. I’m amazed at how much dirt and dog hair she gets EVERY time. God I love that Bi_ch!

I leave my husband at home with nothing else to do — and amazingly the house gets clean.

Shirley says
I do my cleaning on the days my husband works the first shift because then I can be fast. I start by picking what’s on the floor and throwing a load of laudry because the smell of fresh clothes always boost me up, plus my cup of coffee. Once my house is clean is time to bathe the dogs, my kids have short hair but they leave a mess on the living room where they are all day, because outside is so hot and they need to be fresh. So this will save my back from the constant pain of brooming and vacumming so YES I NEED THIS!!!!
Gianna says
I clean daily so it’s not overwhelming.
Deborah Wallin says
I have assigned my kids to do one room a day as a group project, and then they get rewarded at the end of the week.

Have children. Of course there is a proportional increase in the need to clean in relation to number of children. Definitely a conundrum!
Michelle Tucker says
Well, when I am walking by and see something tht doesn’t belong where it is, I take it to it’s place right then. No reason to have an extra trip to do it.
Michelle
Sandra U. says
I have 8 kids (6 who still live at home). A cleaning tip I use is setting a timer for 15 minutes and see how much we can all get done during that time. We can accomplish so much in such a little time when everyone pitches in. Even my youngest, 3 year old, loves to help!
Rachel Ellis says
Keeping a specific schedule helps. One day is trash day, another is mopping day, etc. That way everyone in the house can help because they too know the schedule.
cee Love says
A good tip and something that always works for me is to always make a list of what you need to clean. It will keep you from getting sidetracked.
Ashley says
If u take it out…put it back right away!

Donna says
My Roomba is humping the leg of my guitar stand right this moment. Would be nice to have a robot vacuum with smarts.
Samantha D says
The best tip I’ve seen is to just do a little here and there. While I brush my teeth sometimes I wipe my sink handles and faucet with the face towelette (after I rinse it really quickly) I used to clean my face, then wipe down the toilet seat if it needs it, flush the wipe, and wash my hands! LOL
Stephanie says
Before a vacation of trip more than a day, I will clean the house and clean all the dishes. I so nice coming home to a clean house. It just tops off the vacation!

Write down a list of everything I want to do and clean in a day. That way when I’m bored I can make productive use of my time.
Lindsay Ferrin says
In my opinion, the best way to clean your home is to put everything away before you go to bed. If you wake up in a clean house, you’ll want to keep it that way.
Carrie G says
Hard water and soap scum can be kept at bay by using a sponge or towel soaked with lemon juice. The acidic lemon juice breaks down the dingy grey build up of soap scum/hard water stains.
Caroline B says
We use natural products like vinegar and baking soda! they work great and are safe for the environment!

Don’t try to do everything every day. Wipe out the sink one day, the toilet the next, and the tub on another instead of cleaning the whole bathroom all at once.

Molly Bussler says
Right now…it seems that I can’t hardly get any cleaning done. I have a 3 week old baby boy that takes up most of my time, so I clean as I go, like picking up everything, wiping things and asking my husband to do it. But as far as really cleaning, I haven’t done a real good cleaning in over a month. But I usually, when I can, clean up a storm, and this would make my life so much easier, would love to have it! Thank you for the chance.
Wendy says
A very timely post and giveaway for me. I’ve been lamenting the fact that no one but me in my home cares about how clean it is. *sigh* My #1 tip? Keep things organizes as it makes cleaning a little easier.

Kathlean Owens says
Clean the microwave: put a coffee cup of vinegar in the microwave and cook it for 3 minutes. CAREFULLY remove the coffee cup and use a damp sponge and wipe the inside. Everything comes off easily.
John Billiris says
It’s best to have the whole family involved. If someone else picks up after you, you learn to become careless. I actually believe it’s good for kids to learn to clean, etc, because it helps them learn to notice more details, and to recognize the repercussions of their actions. (ie. spilled food left overnight is harder to get up the next day.)
Karen Lynch says
Cleaning supplies on every level is a must, for quick clean ups. If you have to go searching for cleaners and rags the less likely you or helper is to clean.
Joella S says
Oh, yes! And my cleaning tip is to use vinegar to clean up messy spills. The vinegar smell goes away after the vinegar dries. It’s good for laundry, too. 🙂
Joella S says
I am a college student and my mom tolerates my cat and house rabbit roaming our apartment. Most people don’t own rabbits and they are considered ‘exotic’ by most veterinarians. Let me tell you that rabbits shed A LOT of fur. It’s literally everywhere (carpets, pillowcases, laundry, sofas, computer keyboards, bathroom, dishwasher, etc.)! Having this cleaner would be a huge help for us!
Kristi C says
The kids are responsible for cleaning their rooms and bathrooms and then I have a schedule of which other rooms get deep cleaned each day of the week.
Jill Myrick says
My best tip comes in a bottle.
I can’t live without Clorox Cleanup. It is great for cleaning. And removes stains from anything white.
From coffee on counter tops to lipstick on white carpet or laundry stains.
jweezie43[at]gmail[dot]com
Stephanie says
how can one dog cause so much cleaning. I have 4 kids and they don’t require as much! And JUST DO it….everyone needs to clean:0)
Tim Stephens says
My first tip would be buy a Dyson… my second would be don’t get dogs, cats, or kids… and finally play some great music while you clean, always gets me through it…
john mains says
I vaccuum and dust daily to avoid big messes
christie kammerer says
You get hour hubby to do it.

Jamie K says
Start with a clean sink, the rest will seem easier in comparison!
Auqakuh says
I always start at the top and work my way down. Dust tops of door/window frames, doors, ledges, then baseboards, then vacuum the floor.
Migdalia - says
Having 2 dogs I have to mop everyday, esp when the weather gets warmer and they shed. I use the Swifter Sweeper which is great; however, this would most likely pick up more thn the Sweeper. Thanks for the chance!
Valeen N says
I buzz through every day and do a quick pick up, but then focus on a room a day to do the heavier cleaning.
Daniel M says
do a room a day
Kathleen Conner says
I use natural cleaners for everyday, and then switch to chemicals for heavy-duty (when the natural isn’t working)
kristen says
I make my own cleaners (unless I can find some free using coupons) to save money
Candice Hull says
I make it a game with my kids. I give each one a basket and we race to see who can pick up the most stuff that’s in the wrong place. It also is easy to shove those baskets in the closet if I don’t have time to put everything up or have unexpected guests.
Thanks!
Doris C says
To get off stubborn things like crayon, grease and basically anything use Mr Clean pads. For shiny sinks use Old Dutch cleanser, sanitizes as well and smells good. To get odours out of your house including smoke use a little orange glow in your sink and fill with hot water or add it to a load of laundry you wash in hot and it smells like oranges for a week and removes any smells:)
Lindsey D. says
You can clean anything with vinegar, baking soda, bleach, or lemon juice. We save a ton of money by not buying cleaners

Amy Tolley says
do alittle at a time and try to keep things from getting clutter up and dont store thing you dont use….thanks for this giveaway
Cori Westphal says
I truly believe that a house can be messy, but it should be clean underneath. Sometimes things pile up – papers, folded laundry, blankets we used for cuddling. But deep down, it’s pretty sanitary. I like to clean all of my floors at least once a week, to keep dirt from being tracked all over. And I do laundry pretty much every day, so it doesn’t pile up on me!

Barbara says
Wow! I have time to play! Neato cleans my floors at 0:dark-thirty every morning and saves me tons of time. I’ve had my Neato XV-11 for about a year and a half. Now I want the “get the dog hair out of the carpet” version. That would be even better! Love my Neato … I even talk to him when he cries … oh, yeah, he’s my friend!

I hate pet hair and with a cat in the house it forces me to vacuum everyday…just for the sake of my sinuses. This would take one more item off of my “to do” list!

Top down – start with dusting and end with floors!
Melissa O. says
My tip is to do as much as you can but enjoy your kids and take time for them too. The mess will still be there and you’ll have plenty of time when.the kids are older. Mine are two small mess making dynamos. Some days I get a lot done and other days my boys need my attention more and nothing gets done.
Missy L says
My kids have chores and we all do our jobs at the same time. I’ve realized that I do best when I get most of the jobs done first thing in the morning. As the day goes on I run out of energy and motivation!
Wendy T says
When I enter a room to clean, I start at the top in the corners and work my way down to the floors. Start at the top and work my way down.
