Looking for Cleaning Tips

You know, I am all for cleaning tips for making cleaning a lot easier, since I only have a few hours a week to do it.


I have been saving lots of pins on Pinterest to see how they work. I have a tried a couple and they seem to work out fine. But I find it weird when I see the same picture with a different way to do it, so be careful and try it for yourself. If they work then tell your friends but if they don't then tell your friends!

Here are some that I found on a good blog page (you should check out her blog, she has a big variety of posts with great ideas on cleaning and whatever you can think of):

Cleaning schedule

Making deodorizers

• 2 cups baking soda
• 1 – 2 cups distilled water (or you can boil your water for 10 minutes.)
• Lavender essential oil (or whatever oil you choose. Citrus would be good too!)
• Silicone mold or muffin pan

There are lots of ideas out there on the Internet as well as Pinterest. Once you find something good I hope you will share with everyone, I don't like to waste my time or money on things of no true value.

Of course, trying things for one purpose unsuccessfully could lead to trying it for something else and being successful, look at Coca-Cola!
