Green Cleaning

I don't know if it was my non-toxic products, or the horrible state of my apartment, cleaning wasn't so bad. Plus I don't think it has ever looked so nice in here. I am so proud of myself.

I started off slow using super cheap and really easy to find items: lemon and baking soda. I was feeling especially cheap and a little lazy so I just decided to use what was in my apartment to clean. I got this idea from my mom.

To clean my kitchen sink all I did was squeeze lemon juice all over it , sprinkle on some baking soda, let it sit for a minute then I scrubbed it off with the lemon. I don't know if it was the abrasiveness or the acidity but it got it really clean. I just wiped it off with a damp rag when
I was done (not paper towels I am weening myself off) to get rid of the grittiness, and then I was done!

I used this lemon baking soda trick on the counters, oven, and the bathroom sink, too. The results were great, it even got the dried on food off the stove. I am never buying harsh bleachy products again!

So now I am on the lookout for Green glass and toilet cleaning products!
