Yes friends it is that time of year again. The warmer weather make us itch for change. We must cleanse the house the kept us tied up all winter. Thing you never noticed during the winter begin to bug you! then it hits! its the urge....SPRING CLEANING!!! it is almost at nagging as having the "nesting phase" during pregnancy. For the next couple of weeks every waking minute will be used for organizing, cleaning, pitching, painting, and scrubbing. Everyone does it...so don't fight it. but, i have some great tricks that will help you cut the time so you sit and relax.
here are some of my recipes for good cleaner that are natural and cheap!
things every home should have: vinegar, baking soda, borax, washing soda, olive oil, and vodka.
windows: vinegar and water..that is it! just use newspaper to wipe them down. please reuse old ones and not buy new ones.
woodwork: 1 gallon really hot water, 1 cup of white vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil.
this will clean all woodwork and wood floors. you can use essential oil instead of olive oil and make the house smell as you wish.
all purpose: 1/2 cup of borax in 1 gallon hot water.
China: 2 tbsp borax per sink load.
To freshen clothes mist newspaper with water and close them into a box. next day nice a fresh.
febreeze is expensive and not good for you home with all the chemicals. use this instead.
1 tsp. lavender essential oil,1/4 cup unflavored vodka, and 3 1/2 cups filtered water
Try to use micofiber towels whenever possible they clean super well and it cuts out paper waste from paper towels.
These are some of my favorite tricks around my home i hope they will help in your spring cleaning. Please don't forget to recycle and send your old clothes to charity.
Happy cleaning!!
