Cleaner Home, Healthier Minds

We all want our homes to be squeaky clean and germ free for our family. We are bombarded daily with ads marketing products that are targeted to kill every possible bacteria and germ in our homes. These cleaning products are loaded with chemicals and fragrances and are a complete overkill for cleaning our homes. In addition with our homes being insulated with closed windows and doors, we do not have free ventilation of fresh air.
I would suggest using simple and proven ingredients to make your own cleaning products. Vinegar and water makes for an excellent cleaner. I use it to clean floors, counters, and glass windows. If you want to add more power to this mixture, add some baking soda. I mix baking soda and vinegar to clean my the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Olive Oil and lemon juice used together makes an effective wood polish. These products are not just safer for our family and the environment, but also so much cheaper!!
Our children need to breathe cleaner air not just outside our homes but inside our homes as well.
