This definitely needed it…
My fridge definitely needed this clean up! I removed all the shelves and drawers and soaked them in hot soapy water. Then I washed, dried and put them back! It took a while, but it was totally worth it!
Here’s the rundown on how I clean my home!
Living a non-toxic life is very important to me. In addition to eating clean, real and organic foods, I make sure all the personal care, hygiene and cleaning supplies in our house are non-toxic.
Having a non-toxic bed is important. We spend about a third of our lives in bed, and I want a mattress and bedding that isn’t made with chemicals and flame retardants. I want my bed and bedding to be made with materials that aren’t harmful for my body or the environment. All the beds and bedding in our home are organic and non-toxic.

Non-toxic toiletries for me and Hubby (remember everything must be 3.4 oz or less. There are great reusable containers available at The Package Free Shop):
Cleaning our house with natural/clean/organic (whichever word you want to use) products is important to me. Here is the breakdown:

Main Household Cleaner Recipe ( I have 1 spray bottle of this stuff on each floor of my house.) I use it for everything!:
4 TB Dr. Bronners soap
optional: 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar (or white vinegar)
water
Toilet bowl cleaner:
4 TB Dr. Bronners Soap
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1-2 drops tea tree essential oil
1-2 drops lemon essential oil
water
Dr. Bronners, how I love you! Dr. Bronners castile soaps are amazing! I love every one I’ve tried (they have many different scents). My favorites are lavender, peppermint and tea tree.
-I use any of the scents (but usually lavender and peppermint) to hand wash my culinary equipment and utensils. I thin it out with water 1:1 and pour it into a soap dispenser kept next to my kitchen sink.
-I follow the same process for our bathrooms; both have soap dispenser with Dr. bronners thinned out with water 1:1.
-I use the lavender Dr. Bronners along with manuka honey, apple cider vinegar and water to wash my dogs. Recipe: 1 TB Dr. Bronners, 1 TB manuka honey, 1 TB apple cider vinegar and 2 cups of water. I put this in a spray bottle.
-To mop the floor, I add 2 TB of Dr. Bronners to the mop bucket full of water.
-I add 1 TB to a load of laundry- voila clean clothes!
VINEGAR (WHITE AND APPLE CIDER VINEGAR)!
-Nothing gets glass and stainless steel as clean!
-I have a spray bottle with equal parts water and vinegar that I use for most household surfaces, including bathrooms,kitchen appliances and mirrors. . *Don’t use on granite. If you have granite counters, stick with the Dr. Bronners spray (without the vinegar in it) to clean that.
BAKING SODA: Baking soda is awesome!!
-I add 2 TB- 1/4 cup of baking soda to my loads of laundry. I use 1/4 cup if I am washing whites with a stain on them.
-Baking soda is great for stains and deep cleaning. Whenever my shower needs a good scrubbing, for example, I mix 1/4 cup of baking soda with 1/2 cup of vinegar and use it as a scrub.
SEVENTH GENERATION LAUNDRY AND DISHWASHER: I love both of these products!
