Clean + Green Review and Giveaway

June 1, 2010

Rosey I am a sucker. I gave in and got a dog for my daughter when she turned ten. What is it with kids wanting pets when they reach the ripe old age of ten? Do they think just because their age is now a double digit that they become responsible all of a sudden? [...]

6 Nontoxic ways to polish your silverware

February 23, 2010

When I got married, my grandmother gave us a set of ‘his’ and ‘hers’ silver spoons and chopsticks. They came in a beautiful blue velvet case. I didn’t use them for over twenty years because, frankly, I was too lazy to clean them. But more than that, I hated the toxic silver polish that I [...]

My Favorite Green Products

December 11, 2008

It’s only been recent that I have been able to find “natural” cleaning products in the local supermarket aisles. I don’t have to go to the “Green Market” to find them anymore.

Cleaning with Vinegar and Baking Soda

Silly me, I talked about vinegar and baking soda and didn’t tell you the formula. I have spray bottles under every sink in my house, filled with 50/50 vinegar and water solution. I spritz with the bottle whenever I see marks on the mirror or on the counter top. For tougher stains I use 100% [...]

Green Cleaning with Vinegar and Baking Soda

November 13, 2008

I enjoy cleaning. It’s therapy. But gagging or holding my breath because of the toxic fumes from the commercial cleansers when I’m cleaning is not therapeutic. So, I use all natural, your average household items that I find in the cupboards to clean. What’s my secret? White vinegar and baking soda!! They are inexpensive and [...]
