Spring cleaning- some natural alternatives..

Spring is in the air and for us, that means cleaning the house, washing the windows and getting ready for a lot more entertaining. With that being said, this brings to mind a few of my favorite natural cleaning solutions which I have found to actually work.

For carpet- sprinkle baking soda on your carpet. Wait 15 minutes and then vacuum. You'll have fresh smelling carpet and pull up way more pet hair too.

For showers and sinks- mix baking soda with a little bit of baby shampoo until it forms a paste, then use as a non-abrasive scrubber.

For tile floors- Mix hot water (1 gallon bucket) with 1 cup of vinegar and a few drops of baby shampoo. This really cleans my floors with no harsh fumes or sticky leftovers

Open up those windows, purchase some fresh flowers and change your sheets to lighter colors to welcome in spring. Hopefully the sun is shining in your neck of the woods and these tips will help your home shine too!
