Non-Toxic Cleaning


For those of you who've been following our NO SPEND MONTH updates, tomorrow will be our final update but we have a MARCH MADNESS surprise to announce on March 1st.

For now, I'll explain a little of what happens when Craig forces me to clean.

Yesterday, Craig was bugging me to clean the apartment so we did it together. It took us an hour to actually clean but then it took me 4 hours to get over the dust and dirt stuck in my lungs and nose.

I hate cleaning. Always have. Always will. I love to organize. Hate to clean. There's a reason I like to invest in a cleaning person. They do a better job than I do and I am not stuck inhaling dog fur and copious amounts of dust.

I am not as happy as the lady above. I look more like an angry Polak. Seriously. Within 5 minutes of cleaning, I start sneezing and coughing. It's not a pretty site.

My Mom's advice? Wear a mask.

Spring cleaning needs to be done but I think Craig and I will start using non-toxic materials like vinegar, lemon juice, and sodium bicarbonate.

What are your favorite natural cleaners?

Love vinegar! There's a new "natural" multi-surface pledge cleaner out now that I love. It smells delicious. Also, Method's wood for good in almond. YUM! Not homemade, but natural and easy on the nose.

Hot water, soap, vinegar, bicarbonate soda, olive oil for wood and elbow grease :)

Method's wood for good is nice too in almond, but olive oil works.

What's a good natural disinfectant?
