I’m here to help you clean and keep a safe chemical free environment at the same time. Using micro-fiber products with water cleans your home faster, easier and safer than any other product you’ll ever buy. I raised two boys with Asthma and Allergies and it was a challenge to find a product that was breathing friendly. I tried all ‘the green’ make it yourself products with lemon, vinegar, baking soda, amonia (which is NOT breathing friendly) and they may be green but they also make you work very hard and sometimes take muliple applications.

Today’s Cleaning Habit:
Habit #5 The bathroom sinks can really get away on you. You brush your teeth and spit in them, wash faces in them, sometimes even feet get washed in them. I have little hooks at the side of my bathroom counter with the window and microfiber cloth hanging for easy access my bathroom. Works great and so do the travel pack size of enviro cloths. They are so handy for the quick wipe of the sink at the end of the day. Wipe around the taps quickly as well and the counter area just around the sink. This habit takes less than a minute and saves you big time on cleaning day. Use the Drain Care once a month in your bathroom sinks to keep the hairs from clogging the drain.
Cleaning Habit #1
Leaving a dirty kitchen counter top can leave you sweeping more than you need to. You reach for bread, cookies and cups often sweeping your arms or clothes across the counter top dragging and dropping the crumbs on the floor. Not only that the crumbs end up in our socks, between your toes if you don’t have socks on and they are then dragged who knows where all over the place. What seems like an annoying task that we can always ‘do later’ when you don’t do it now you’ll be doing more cleaning later.
So grab your kitchen cloth and give the counters a quick sweep over before you leave the house in the morning, you’ll be much happier when you come home. Besides if the kids get home before you, you’ll be able to better tell what they’ve been into in the kitchen. Be smart!
Cleaning Habit #2
Now that your in the habit of keeping your counter tops clean sweeping the floor will be a snap. I suggest sweeping the floor daily after dinner. If your dinner time is eat and run then plan to do this after your evening snack instead. It’s really a snap if you have the microfiber mop with the dusting head on it. The large size covers a lot a space quickly and get under appliances easily.
Cleaning Habit #3 Give your cupboards door handles and the little section of cupboard behind them a wipe down once a week. Don’t add this job to your weekly vacuuming & floor washing. Do this while you are talking on the phone or waiting for something to boil on the stove. It only takes minutes and extends the life of your cupboards.
Habit #4 Keeping the kitchen sinks clean is crucial in home care. Give your sink an extra wipe with your Norwex kitchen cloth or envirocloth every night after doing dishes. Check that drain for food particles left there and clean them out. Put your drain plug in the dishwasher every couple of weeks minimum – that’s easy. Dr. Oz. did a show segment on how much bacteria sits in your sink drain if you don’t keep it clean. That was scary stuff! If you have the dish drainer in the second sink lift it up twice a week and give it a good rinse/wipe with your envirocloth. It’s crazy how the second sink gets dirty too. This habit only takes 1 minute a day.
The Story of Stuff – Cosmetics
“Chemicals have replaced bacteria and viruses as the main threat to health. The diseases we are beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of (the 1900′s) and into the 21st century are diseases of chemical origin. Dr. Dick Irwin, toxicologist, Texas A&M University
In order for a product to be labelled as a “disinfectant” it must contain a pesticide!
There are great resources to help you avoid all those toxins and chemicals. The Environmental Working Group www.ewg.org is a great resource which has a skin deep page so you can see the chemical rating of all your personal care products.
