Today’s tip isn’t really about child development or anything of that nature but it is about keeping a clean house which in itself is more challenging once you have children.
One word VINEGAR. Vinegar is pretty much my best friend when it comes to cleaning my house. I walk around with a little spray bottle with 50% vinegar and 50% water and use it on everything. Kitchen counter tops, dinning table, wood blinds, the floor (wood or tile), all my wood furniture, bathroom, glass, stainless steel. I love using it to clean my stainless steel appliances because it doesn’t leave those ugly water streaks. It makes everything beautiful and shiny. You can use it on any wood surface, the vinegar dries quickly so it doesn’t ruin your wood. I spray a little on go over with a damp sponge or rag and then go over it again with a dry towel.
My other little friend that I just discovered recently is lemon juice. We have glass doors on our shower and I detest those water spots that are soooo hard to get off. So this is what I do. Squeeze the juice of about 5 or 6 lemons into a bowl, take some newspaper and dip it into the juice and then rub the spots off the door, spray with plain water and voila spotless shower doors! I hate using harsh chemicals especially in the shower because it always gives me a headache. This way your shower is clean and the bathroom smells nice too!
