About once a week, one of my neighbors calls out to me, “What’cha painting now?” It’s usually a good question, because I’m always up to something.

Last week, that something was tackling one of the last remaining builder’s beige walls in my home.

I didn’t have the painters paint this one Lindsay White because I had other plans for it. And those plans involved yellow paint.

As a HomeRight Brand Ambassador, I have the opportunity to test out their products. Before I got started on this little hallway, I went on their website in search for something that would make painting this area a lot easier.

I mean, I HATE that part of the wall. A mini-roller won’t really fit in there, so I have to paint the whole thing with a brush. Oh. My. Word. THE HUMANITY!

I am obsessed with steam cleaners. In my adult life, I’ve had a big carpet cleaner, a few steam mops and a handheld steam cleaner. My husband, Tom, would roll his eyes every time a new one came home, but I thought I needed all of those different types of steam cleaners for different applications.

When Tom came home from work last week and saw yet another one in the house, he said, “Lindsay. Really?” Yes, really! Between HomeRight’s new SteamMachine Plus and original SteamMachine, I can get rid of all of those other ones. The SteamMachine Plus is a steam mop that has many attachments – including one for carpet! – and a handheld unit (like a Dust Buster) that pops out of the mop for quick tasks, like steaming garments. The SteamMachine is a much larger unit with a larger tank for your larger projects.

I have plenty of uses for both of them. Here are 20 of my favorite uses:
