Spring cleaning is upon us once again and I have a few thoughts maybe my favorite ladies can help me with.
My first thing is, natural cleaning products. I used to use alot of home recipes for natural products, though never exclusively. I like the idea of using things that wont endanger my family and dont require a gas mask (j/k)
my delima is are they as effective and are they more of a strain on my time. Will I have to scrub more and use lots more elbow greese. I have five kids so I dont have an abundance of time. Will they leave my home with that clean fresh smell my aresenal of chemicals does. I have no doubt they are safer. I keep my cleaning products in a high cabinet and I keep it with a kid lock on it but, there is always a risk. Also is there things that just cant be done with natural products like dishwashing liquid and such?
My second thing is what is a reasonable amount of spring cleaning. I have no idea of the tradition behind it but I hear it everwhere. My grandma did it and most women I know do it too. What is a workable list that doesnt set the bar so high for the rest of the year that I end up "spring cleaning" all year long.
I like the idea of giving my house that extra working over but I never feel like I have done enough.
I welcome your thoughts on the matter as well as ideas for the above mentioned natural cleaning products so bring on the sage advice my friends beccause spring cleaning is out to get me.
