That’s great! I wish I knew how to do that. I use mild earth friendly cleaning products, but making my own would be even better!

Maybe you could post some recipes?

I like using house hold chemicals, though I use stronger stuff for tougher areas. I use vinegar and water when I clean my microwave and oven, plus I add a few drops of lemon juice for that lemon fresh smell!

I remember having an outside clothing hanger. It was like an upside down umbrella, and my mom would hang our clothes out to dry in the backyard. I always wanted a real clothing line that goes from the top balcony corner all the way to the backyard corner. I will have my outdoor clothing line. I currently just use up all my coat hangers and hang dry around my place my wet clothing (mainly hang them all to dry in my den)

Making your home cleaning chemicals is so clever. I wish I knew some of those. I always have to look them up online, but I'm too lazy for that so I end up buying some really strong chemical that make my head spin. Not good.

I used to work in hospital maintenance so I’m stuck in the “chemicals are goooood” frame of mind. When I clean, I scrub bacteria out with every smelly liquid I can find in the house.

I’d use a clothes line if bf wasn’t so against it. We have our own yard yet he insists I spread the laundry on a portable laundry table of sorts, and I hate it. I will definitely one day have a clothes line. *shakes fist* I shall! I think a bit of fresh air to dry up laundry would do nothing but good to the clothing!

I don't think I could ever use store bought cleaners but I don't think I could use natural household products as cleaners either. I use green, non toxic, products. Caity´s last blog post..Just remember to breathe.

I’ve never used vinegar and water. what is it good for? Or is it all purpose? Water just dilutes the vinegar right?

I would hang clothes out in the to dry, but Vancouver Bylaw states we cannot hang garments over our balcony railings etc. Which is ok, I dont want to see granny panties waving in the air from the apartment building across the street

One of our houses, I put in a clothes line thing, the one that looks like a reverse umbrella. that was nice. Our house in Victoria had a clothes line from the house to the back corner of the yard which was cool. Saves money on drying, dyers are sooo energy inefficient..

I use vinegar and water :P I completely agree. I couldn’t stand the chemical cleaners anymore.
