Relaxed Cleaner: You tend to go with the flow and don’t stress over cleaning. Because of this, give Ultra Dawn® a try. It powers through tough grease on dirty dishes, so even if you don’t jump into cleaning right away, you can still get cookware brilliantly clean. Since you can tend to put off cleaning, try using our Words to Live By Calendar as a medium for recording weekly cleaning goals.

Clever Cleaner: You’re resourceful, smart and efficient—always getting the job done in less time.

To keep up with your dedication to speed cleaning, keep a journal full of your best tips and tricks.
25-30 Points
Ambitious Cleaner: To you, having a clean home is a must, so you don’t skimp on the extra steps that make your home truly sparkle. For that reason, you’ll likely enjoy Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser® since it can help renew the appearance of surfaces like walls, baseboards, blinds and more. For your next cleaning feat, try taking on the fridge, using our Total Refrigerator Clean Out article as your guide.
