Keepin’ Clean Naturally!

Hey peeps!  We’re all about cleaning up our diet and cleansing ourselves, but what about our abodes?  Many of the cleaning products you can pick up at the store, are full of the things that you’re probably working to get out of your system!  Now there are a LOT of awesome natural cleaning products and they are becoming ever more available in many retail outlets, which is awesome, because I remember (as a teen, yeah I been into this stuff for a while!) having to seek out health food stores or ordering online to pick up eco and health friendly cleaners.  But, not having easy access to store-bought natural cleaners, lead me to creating my own and this was not only fun and allowed for some creativity, but also saved me a butt-ton of money!  

The two main cleaning dynamos I work with are baking soda and vinegar.  Baking soda tackles the dirty work with its mildly abrasive action and fat dissolving ability and then vinegar comes in and does the job of a solvent and boasts some anti-mold, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties!  Use baking soda to tackle any household jobs you’d need a powdered scrubber for.  From Grungy pots and pans, grimy sink basins, water stained showers and toilets and ovens… baking soda will get medieval on ‘em! For jobs that require a streak free solvent, like cleaning down counter tops, glass shower doors, stove tops, cabinet fronts, appliance doors etc., vinegar has you covered.
