Yesterday: My bathroom and cleaning chemicals

My first was-too-tired-to-blog blog! There had to be one at some time, right?

 So first off, yesterday afternoon I finally got to Spring Cleaning in my bathroom. I am pleased to say that I was able to be rid of a bag and a half (Walmart/store-sized) of old hair products, outdated things from the medicine cabinet and just some weird odds and ends. I consolidated the girls and my hair accessories into one bucket since we use the same things. I cleaned out every nook and crevice of the bathroom. Scrubbed my porcelain difficult hard to clean sink with baking soda, and that worked amazingly well! So now, the bathroom is picture perfect!

Now for my cleaning chemicals....I have been doing a little research on commercial cleaning chemicals. Reading articles, talking to people etc...we are officially switching to all natural cleaning components. You know, the ones our grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents etc used? Those cleaners didn't hurt their health and they were inexpensive. I have made my own cleaners in the past, but as with my grocery shopping and meal planning, I had stopped due to what I thought was a lack of convenience. I found some great articles on how to make sure that your ingredients work together properly and do the job you are wanting them to do. Also making sure you don't mix things improperly. Just because things are natural, doesn't mean they can be mixed together willy-nilly! Now, I could go buy all natural cleaners. But why do that when they cost the same as the commercial and I can mix my own for 100th of the price! Yep, 1/100th of the price of store bought cleaners!

I think this will benefit our whole family. Not only as a way to save money, but also for the health of our family.
