and it's raining. And WOW I need to clean my windows.
Since I'm apparently not very good at keeping up this blog, I'm going to do a quick review of which methods I'm still using.
Cleaning windows/mirrors: I'm still using my Norwex Anti-bac Microfiber and window cleaning cloths. This combination works great, no chemicals, super fast and super clean.
Countertops/tubs/dusting: Still using the Norwex Anti-bac Microfiber cloth. This is a great multi-purpose cloth for cleaning jobs all over the house.
And now it's hailing....and sunny.
Toilets: I use baking soda and vinegar. You might remember I tried a few of those 'new and improved' toilet cleaning products but they just don't work as well as baking soda and vinegar.
Carpets: I also use baking soda and vinegar. I recently bought (or redeemed with points) a Bissel Green Machine. After mixing up the solution, I thought why am I using this in here, I could just fill the tank with my 50/50 vinegar/water solution. So sprinkle your stain with baking soda and spray with the vinegar/water. Let your kids help, they love the bubbles! If you don't have a carpet cleaner, let it dry, remove as much of the baking soda as you can, then blot out the rest. If you do have a carpet cleaner, use the brush/vacuum to remove the baking soda and the stain along with it. I love this, so easy and fast and SAFE!
I have a few reviews coming up to do and have had some trouble finding time, but will get to it now that my store stuff isn't as crazy, and is just steady.
Happy cleaning!

Product review and giveaway: 'Natural Household Cleaner Recipes' ebook by The Peaceful Housewife
When my daughter was born, I had the wonderful opportunity of making some fabulous friends online, who also had children the same month. These friends live all over the world and have many different backgrounds and interests. One of them was Captain Fussybucket's mom. She started a blog and recently introduced me to another wonderful blogger, The Peaceful Housewife. Now The Peaceful Housewife just released an ebook called 'Natural Household Cleaning Products'. So what better product to review and offer for a giveaway? I'll do the product review first. Please read the rules for the giveaway before entering.
Product Review: 'Natural Household Cleaner Recipes' ebook
As a mom with two small kids and two annoying cats, it's important to have cleaners that both work well and are safe for my family. Being able to make them myself with products around the house is a huge bonus since it offers a huge savings. The Peaceful Housewife's ebook is fantastic. She offers recipes for laundry products, household products, even a makeup brush cleaner and pest spray. So I decided to pick a recipe and try it out, and I chose the carpet cleaner. Now you all know we recently bought a house. And this house came with horrible, stained, faded and PINK carpets. K and I like carpet since our kids are little and it's better for crawling, falling, etc. So we've always planned on just keeping this floor and installing hardwood once the kids are a bit older. But that doesn't mean that I don't care about the way they look. So I chose a stain just outside the kitchen and decided to give it a go. I'm pretty sure this stain was not caused by our cats and was here when we moved in. So it's been there for at least 6 months.
I used the carpet cleaner as directed in the ebook and the stains came right out. It was so easy, using a top secret combination of baking soda, vinegar and water. These products are already in my pantry and are super safe for everyone. Sorry I can't post the recipe, you guys gotta buy the book! It's only $3 through The Peaceful Housewife.
