A Childhood Home-Hader and Karina transform the home he grew up in into a special place for their kids.
 
When Karina dated Hader in high school, she used to visit him at his family’s home. Now that they’re married, they still call that house home! But they wanted to update it for their own children, Michael (3) and Melanie (20 months), who are extremely sensitive to dust. It was time for them to begin making this home their own, and the Home Mavens were happy to help.

Swiffer and Febreze

With the kids so sensitive to dust, Hader and Karina needed a really effective dust remover. They used Swiffer Dusters®—which trap and lock dust instead of pushing it around in the children’s playroom. Then they used Febreze® Allergen Reducer on the stuffed animals to prevent allergens from cats, dogs and dust mites from becoming airborne.
