Today we have been cleaning our house. Not just getting rid of dirt and dust but really cleaning. As in clearing away the toxins and chemical buildup. It was easy, all that wes needed was a few new products, none of which came from the cleaning isle in the supermarket either…
vinegar, tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, bi-carb soda, lemons… and a bit of elbow grease.
And it didn’t take much longer either. The only extra time I had to spend on the bathrooms involved spraying vinegar on the tiles in the shower recess and leaving it for 15 minutes.
What’s even better is that there’s no streaky residue that the chemical cleaners leave behind. All tile, metal and glass surfaces are gleaming, my bathrooms smell divine, and my body rejoices that it has a few less chemicals in this world to contend with.
We are even painting the bathrooms with environmentally friendly paint.
Want to come clean my place now? I mean since you’re experienced and all. *hehe*
It’s good to get back to the basics for cleaning products. As a society we’ve gotten far to carried away with the next best wonder chemical to clean and really they aren’t doing any better then what good basic natural products do. There is no magical replacement for a bit of solid elbow grease.
It’s evident in what you see people those who clean houses for a leaving use. None of that expensive fancy, next fad cleaners but the old tried and tested methods that clean not just cover and mask.
Now have you got some nice indoor plants that excel in removing toxins? Something like a Red edged Dragon tree. Plants like that it that topped tests carried out by NASA on the best ways to cleanse the air.
I would clean your place but I’m too tired now :p
I didn’t know about the Red Edged Dragon tree. I’ll have to look into it. I do have several plants in the ‘computer room’ for that very reason and I had read somewhere recently that Peace Lilies and Aspidistras were good for removing toxins from the air. I don’t particularly like Aspidistras though and there’s only so many of the one plant you can have before it starts looking obsessive.
I’m going to go in search of a Red Edged Dragon now though
