A natural product to clean windows and mirrors

If you are like us, you are constantly cleaning with kids around. We have a five year old, a three year old and a 18 month old, so there is always some one around.

This poses some safety problems when using harsh chemicals. So wherever possible, we use natural products, so that our children and our environment is safe.

So today, we want to share with you our window and mirror cleaning recipe.

Simple add:
  • 1 and half cups of vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 8 drops of lemon juice

To easy!!! Your windows will be cleaned, the kids can even help. A further benefit is that the recipe stops the mirrors from fogging up, to some degree at least, as well. How about that!!!

So enjoy.

Cheers

Cleaning the toilet

Surely this must be one of the favourite areas of cleaning. What is there not to like? Strange smells, stains, for some reason the floor is sticky...oh, you say to yourself as you realise why the floor is sticky!!!

But don't despair. With a few minutes, a pair of strong rubble gloves and some optional breathing apparatus, you will have the toilet and bowl shining and glowing in no time.

First things first. You don't need to worry about all those harsh chemicals to get the toilet looking good. No sir re!!! Lets look at some of the basic equipment.

A good toilet brush

Some Baking soda

Milton

A cloth (make sure you only use it for the toilet)

Some orange juice, coke or vitamin C

If it is really bad you can resort to Jiff.

The process

We here, really love Milton, while it is Chlorine based it is stabilised and has been used for the last 40 years to sterilise bottles for babies - I think it has proven it is safe to use.

Using a spray bottle, spray diluted milton (a capful per bottle is enough) on the lid of the toilet and on the seat. Let it sit for a minute then whip it off.

To clean the bowl, through some orange juice or coke in the bottle - this reduces the stains and helps with controlling odors. Use the brush and swirl around.

Still not clean? Gee, when was the last time you cleaned your toilet!!! Resort to the Military style Jiff. That will teach those stains.

Conclusion

All in all, the toilet is really only a five minute job. Do it once or twice a week, and she will be looking good as new!!!
