I just got back from the International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago and it was a blast! This truly was a Mecca for the cleaning obsessed! I loved previewing innovative new products, and exploring the event with fellow cleaning nuts!...I even got to meet MR. CLEAN (he does exist!)...scroll through my photos for proof:
It was a global event with 60,000+ in attendance! We mainly stayed in the "Clean + Contain" show floors where most of the cleaning exhibitors were located. It was definitely sensory overload, but complete cleaning heaven!
View from our hotel in downtown Chicago! I absolutely love the hustle and bustle of the city!
Some of the Merry Maids friends were there, too!
I was ready to hit the floor running with my good friend Paige. Little did we know that we would be walking more than 4 miles in the first day alone!
It's what we do!
This robot would read your event badge and literally talk to you about who you were with and how you were enjoying the event! It was amazing (after you got over how creepy it felt to be having an actual convo with a non-human)! LOL
This mop has so much functionality! You could literally switch out the mop heads based on what you needed to do, and the ball joint could be used to scrubber! Say goodbye to my hands hurting from scrubbing grout in the shower!
Never in a million years did I think I would actually meet the real Mr. Clean!
I L-O-V-E-D these Neat Freak hangers! The "grippy things" were in the perfect spot. Great for hanging wet clothes that would normally fall off during the drying process.
Leave it to the cleaning experts to find the dust bunnies at a 5-star hotel! Nothing gets past their trained eyes!
I wanted so badly to throw open the curtains and scare the window washer at the hotel! BUT I don't believe that would have been very nice (or safe)!
Yummy breakfast before having to leave : (
Three days of cleaning bliss! Seriously feels amazing to love what I do!
