Clorox is terrible for you... especially the fumes which are linked to brain cancer. I take a spray bottle, fill it up 3/4 with vinegar, a large dollop of dishwashing soap (I buy either Second Generation or the Costco biodegradable one), about a teaspoon of Tea Tree Oil and the rest purified water. I use this for everything: sinks, counters, tubs, toilets, dusting... it is a natural disinfectant and I LOVE the smell... so fresh and so clean! I also have a serious scrub for the bottom of bathtubs.. .basically you add dishwashing soap to baking soda until it resembles frosting and add a bit of tea tree oil to add a disinfectant. Scrub away! :) Love all the changes you are making! We went to all glass stuff (besides a few plastic tumblers Ben loves), and don't even use paper products because it saves so much money not to. Costco has some great glass tupperware if you are interested in upgrading to that. Love all your suggestions! Going to use lots of them! - Elizabeth ClaybakerJackieoindchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746609617875216169noreply@blogger.com
