Cleaning for Your Health

We all know that we should keep our homes clean for the sake of our health. We can't avoid all germs, bacteria, and mold. But can we do a better job? And with natural cleaners like vinegar, salt, lemon juice, and more? I'm on a quest to find out. I cannot stand the smell of vinegar, but there are so many claims that it cleans so well. I'll have to admit that I was more than impressed when my husband used it to clean the hard water build up under the rim of our toilets a couple of weekends ago. I use Lime Away from time to time, but there was still a gross buildup of hard water stains under the rim. After a bit of scrubbing with  my Lime Away, my husband poured vinegar into the toilet bowl and the fill gage in the tank. So much more of that gunk came out from under that rim when he did that. And the flush is so much more powerful now. There's a nice swirl when we flush. So, from now on, once a week, I'll do a Lime Away and vinegar treatment in the toilet bowl. No more once in a while. 

So, that got me to thinking of all the natural cleaning uses that so many of our household items have. I have collected many of these natural cleaning books, etc. over the years. So, I'm going to start putting those to the test so we'll know which ones work well. Vinegar will be our first testing agent starting next Monday. These are definitely cheaper than the cleaning products on the market. And if they get rid of unwanted odors in the kitchen, bathrooms, and carpet as well as remove grease, stains, and more, why not at least give them a try?
