ok, there's reason behind my madness, lol:
I don't buy many cleaners at all.
I use Dawn (blue), baking soda and peroxide on tubs, sinks, and stovetop,
all appliance outsides, and insides too for that matter.
I sometimes make my own laundry soap but Tide does get stains out of
my shirts. I tend to wear a lot of knit mixes. (rayon+cotton, nylon+cotton)
I will occasionally buy glass cleaner but alcohol works very well.
I hear that vinegar does too.
I have allergies and intolerances and like to avoid chemicals as much as
possible.
We only use 1/4 the amount of reccommended bleach in our white clothes,
we mostly line dry and no dryer sheets.
We use a mild body wash and do not buy expensive shampoos.
I do buy a tad pricey conditioner but use it sparingly.
I like pump bottles.
I do buy products to clean the toilet as we get water stains.
I Pinterest and have pinned many natural cleaners and most
everything is unscented or very mild.
I don't buy furniture polishes. The dust is gonna come back
anyway.
I'm not crazy about aerosoles. I have mild asthma and dh
is on oxygen.
We use a non toxic homemade mix for weeds and we can't
afford to fertilize the lawn in Flor-heat-a.
You'd have to spend a mint to run sprinklers.
We have enough going on in the bill dept. so we can't make
our yard a top priority. We clean it and keep it mowed.
The rest is up to nature .
