Today I decided to break open the orange and vinegar cleaner that I started a few weeks ago. I have been turning the jar and watching the vinegar change colour so figured I should check out how well it worked.
I thought I would jump into the deep end and start with the shower floor. With a bit of a scrub and a wipe, it seemed to work really well. The best part being that there was no over-powering smell that usually means I need to evacuate the bathroom. There was a hint of orange but not too strong.
I will certainly be making this again.
We are heading off for a few days to catch up with family, so I am spending the day cleaning. I really don't understand why I am happy to live amongst half finished housework on a daily basis but as soon as we go away, and are not actually going to be living in the house, I feel this need to have everything spotless.
I am hoping to be able to get online on Sunday and draw the winner of the Environmental Toothbrush giveaway, otherwise it will be one of the first jobs when I get back (seeing as all of the housework will have been done.)
Take care
P.S. Just realised that it is a year ago today that we headed off on our big adventure and six months to the day since our return. Time is flying.
Have a great time with your family. I am the same with cleaning before I go away. I think it is because I know I will be tired when I get back.
ReplyDeleteShould be exciting. Small spanner been thrown in the works with flights but should sort itself tomorrow.
DeleteI have images on myself mopping the floor at midnight tonight. Thankfully we are only taking 2 changes of clothing each so there wont be much washing to do.
I've been hanging out for this post. So excited to hear that it cleans well. I'm going to make a batch for sure!
ReplyDeleteI hope it works well for you too. I'd love to hear about it.
DeleteHmmm, I think I might need to give the cleaner a go too. I'll let you know how I go. (also, thanks to you, it's been well over a year of using bicarb for my hair and am still really happy with it.)
ReplyDeleteNow, can it be really 6 months since you got back?!!
I'm still using the bi-carb too. I buy it in bulk now because I use it for so many things.
Delete6 months, I know. Well I can't believe that your little one is nearly 5 months old. I hope it is all going well for your family of 5.
I also use this as a deodorant. I have a spray bottle in the toilet as well. Works a treat for lots of things.
ReplyDeleteBarb.
I haven't got around to making my own deodorant yet. It is in the list though.
DeleteI love the smell of this mix. It is orangey but not overpowering.
Where do you buy it in bulk?
ReplyDeleteI buy the bi carb in bulk at Weigh and Pay in Woodvale. If my memory serves me correctly (fingers crossed) it is between $2 and $3 a kilo. If you take a big container with you they will weigh that first, let you fill it, then take the weight off your purchase.
DeleteI posted this one to Facebook a little while ago as I am keen to try it (and share it!). We often use vinegar but a little while ago we got given a HEAP of oranges too sour for much but juice (and then sweetened, which I don't usually do). I had all the skins and no idea what to do with them...
ReplyDeletenow I do :) Cheers!
Kristy, I can't wait to hear about how it goes.
DeleteI have been really happy with the result. The smell is lovely and it cleans really well.
