Natural All Purpose Cleaner

In doing what I can to keep toxins out of my home,
I have switched to a homemade all natural cleaner.

I don't know if you can tell, but I love me some LEMONS! ;)


 This is the recipe I use to make my Natural All Purpose Cleaner:
Take a spray bottle from the Dollar Tree and some Vinegar.

Fill the bottle halfway with the Vinegar, then add in as much lemon juice as you want.
Lemons are antibacterial and smell so fresh, which helps to disguise the vinegar smell.
My husband is not a fan of said vinegar smell;)

Then fill the rest of the way with distilled water.

Label the bottle with the contents.
Shake before using.

I use this cleaner for EVERYTHING!
I love that I don't have to worry about cleaning around my kids and animals
or about adding more toxins to my house when I am cleaning.

Nothing but a naturally fresh, clean home.

Do you have any natural cleaning methods? I would love to hear them!

Lemony Fresh!

So yesterday I posted about my love of {LEMONS} and a juice tip.
If you haven't read it yet, go here: When life gives you lemons.

Lovely Lemons.

Remember that I told you not to throw these away?
Here's why:

I fill a pot halfway with water, then add lemon peels and a splash of vinegar.
(I usually don't put this many in at a time, but I had so many!)

Simmer over med-low heat and enjoy the sweet smell.
Add more water as needed.

I do this whenever I have lemons and want to freshen up my house.

Another thing I do with the lemon peels:
Freshen my garbage disposal!!!

Throw a few lemon peels along with some ice into the disposal and run like normal.
The ice sharpens the blades and the lemon cleans and freshens.
My whole kitchen smells like lemons(especially if I am also simmering lemon peels).


I love {LEMONS}!!!

I have more lemon tips to share, so see you soon!
