Cleaning!

I am always on the lookout for homemade cleaner and new ways to get my house spotless, even if it only stays that way for an hour! Today I need to get the majority of my house cleaned as my parents will be here tomorrow. While E slept I was able to get the rest of D's clothes organized and put away (they were all over our guest bed) and the girls bathroom cleaned. I use vinegar to clean most everything, so the bathroom got a good vinegar bath. I started on the wood floors next, I usually steam them but every few cleanings I scrub them on my hands and knees. When I do this I use either just vinegar and water or a mixture I found and pinned on Pinterest. Today I decided to try to use coffee filters instead of a rag, they worked great! They picked up the hair instead of making it stick to the floor more like the rag does. I have used the filters to clean my countertops and as dust rags, not sure why it took me this long to try on the floor. So there you go my tip of the day. Oh and color wonder markers for a certain babe that likes to draw! Now back to cleaning....sigh....

  1. I came across a tip, I think on Pinterest, that used fabric softener sheets are excellent for cleaning, and work particularly well on marks such as crayons on the wall. Kind of like "Erase".
