DIY cleaning Recipes

For the New Year instead of making unrealistic goals I stick with things that I know I can stick with. And one goal is to start making my own cleaning products and stay away from the chemically stuff at the grocery stores. I am sharing some great recipes that are safe for your kiddos to join in if they'd want to help with the cleaning.

- 2 tbsp of lemon juice

Besides these great all natural cleaners. We bought a steam mop to get rid of allergens since I suffer from so many kinds of allergies and my kiddos as well we thought it was such a great product to get.

Some benefits of a steam mop

- Steam mop kills at least 99.9% of bacteria we can't even see

- Its eco friendly

- Steam cleaning dries faster than traditional mopping

- You won't need any toxic detergents to clean your household

- Can get rid of hard to clean stains without scrubbing
