Last week, I shared some of my homemade cleaners. I prefer them because they are not as toxic as some of the products you buy. Now, researchers are also saying, using those cleaners are as bad for your health as smoking. Here are some more healthier cleaners you can use in your home.
Oven Cleaners
For a fresh spill, wet and sprinkle with baking soda and scrub with a soft nylon scrubber (or a netted onion bag).
For normal cleaning, make a paste with baking soda and water. Apply to a warm oven. Leave to dry. Clean with a brush or scouring pad and hot water.
Dishwasher Detergent
(disclaimer: I don't have a dishwasher so this has not been tested by me)
1 cup borax
1 cup washing soda or baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid
1/2 cup kosher salt
Mix and store in a container and use as store bought detergent
Use vinegar for a rinsing agent.
Soft Scrubbing Cleaner
Baking soda. I store mine in a Parmesan cheese container and shake it out when needed. Sometimes I add a small amount of scented oil, such as lavender.
Pot and Pan Cleaner
Mix borax with hot water

FREEBIES
I once again have searched for good freebies and they are hard to come by. I will not share freebies that you may or may not get after long surveys and questions. I add them as I find them throughout the day on my facebook page

MAKE MONEY FROM HOME
It is time to start spring cleaning. Make extra money by selling your unwanted items.
Here are some forums for you to use:
Offerup is a phone app you can use to list for local buyers. Make sure you find a public, safe place to meet if possible.
Sell on ebay.com. There are various fees but a lot of traffic
Sell on Etsy.com. There is a 20 cent listing fee. The limits are items have to be crafted or vintage.
Sell on ebluejay.com. No fees to list. The traffic is not as heavy as ebay, but it is not as saturated. When I list items, I promote them through pinterest and twitter. My items are seen and purchased.
Craigslist is also available to sell from. It is a little sketchy so I don't use it often.
FROM FLYLADY.COM
This week we are in Zone 5, The Living Room and I want each and every one of you to go into your living rooms and stand there. While you are standing there I want you to look around you and look at the flat surfaces (end tables, coffee tables, tops of tv's/entertainment centers, bookcases, mantles, etc)
What do have on these surfaces? Are they the same decorative things that you have always had? Do you really love them? Are they cluttered up with too many things? Too many ducks, bunnies, candles, cows, precious moments etc? I am not condemning those things but asking you if they still bring you joy and do you still love seeing them in your living room? Or are you just used to them.
What about the piles of magazines and papers? Do you NEED those? You would be amazed at how much neater your living room will appear by just removing a few things.
How much easier would it be to dust these areas without all that stuff?
Your mission is to get rid of the stuff that is cluttering up your living room. Take 5 minutes to let go of some things. I am willing to bet that more of you will find you do want to get rid of some things because they do not bring you joy and you are just used to them being there.
Have fun!
