Welcome to part 2 of our
Let's Dish sharefest :) If this is your first time coming across this then please read
this post to familiarize yourself with the process. I really enjoyed last week and can't wait to hear everything ya'll have to offer today. Let's dish!
I'm curious if ya'll have any fun or inventive ways to clean around your house? As far as methods go, I love a trick I picked up from my mom. Our kitchen leads into our back yard. This means that my kitchen floor is always dirty by the end of the day. I have a swiffer wet jet but I don't really like the cleaner that comes with the wet jet! What I do is I take a spray bottle of my favorite floor cleaner and spritz the floor and use the wet jet to mop that up. I don't know about you but I hate a traditional mop. My husband will get the "big mop" out 2 times a month and mop the kitchen but for every day cleaning I love my swiffer!
Having two little ones around has made me, well, just plain scared to have too many conventional cleaners around the house. I still have some things on a very high shelf in the laundry room but for the most part I have decided to start using 'alternative' cleaning agents. Maybe alternative isn't the right word... just different than what most people consider mainstream cleaners. Some of my main cleaning agents are baking soda, vinegar and table salt. I know, salt? Well, come to find out it's a very mild abrasive and it will get grease off of stuff instead of having to use a grease cutting cleaner. As far as the baking soda and vinegar go, I just sprinkile the baking soda all over my toilet, pour vinegar on that and watch my science project go to work. A few scrubs with the toilet wand and voila! Clean as a whistle. You should
go here and read all of the things vinegar can do!
When it comes to cleaners I use/buy
7th generation products. I can't tell you how much I love 7th generation! My 2 1/2 year old loves to help me clean and this company has made it so that he can not only 'help' me but that the surfaces I clean are safe for him and his brother. Also, I have asthma and I am especially sensitive to perfume/scents/fumes. Even the scented version of these cleaners do not bother me at all. Thanks to the people at 7th generation we have a giveaway coming up soon - I'm so excited about that! Until then, here's how you can get some super cheap cleaner from target:
