Which Room?

!!!! HOME INVASION ALERT!!!!

HELP!  My house has been invaded by clutter monsters, and I’m sure he’s invaded your a couple of times, too.  When we get busy in our everyday life, we tend to allow our home to get out of order.  Even sometimes, when we try as bst as we can to make sure that our space stays clean, ever so often, we fall behind, thus throwing everything out of order. 

But if there was one place in your home that you would vow to keep organized, no matter what the case may be, which one would you choose? I would defintely have to go with my walk-in closet.  Think about it: most of the clutter comes from the shoes, jackets, and clothing lying around, right? So if we were to keep that in order, we would probably save ourselves a lot of time and clutter. 

If you had to choose a room, which one would it be?

Make it Yourself! Cleaning Product Recipes

I found a good bit of eco-friendly cleaning products in an online article. It’s great to know that I can keep my place and the atmosphere clean at the same time. If you’re a “go-green” fanatic, here are a couple of cleaning items that you can make yourself that are environmental friendly:

For an all-purpose cleaning agent:
1 teaspoon borax
1/2 teaspoon washing soda
2 tablespoons lemon juice

In a pint spray bottle, combine the ingredients. Add 1 cup very hot water and shake well to mix and dissolve the dry ingredients.

To use, simply spray on the surface and wipe off with a sponge or rag. This solution can be stored indefinitely.

For a dishwashing liquid:
1/4 cup soap flakes
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup glycerin
1/2 teaspoon lemon essential oil
In a bowl, combine the soap flakes and the water and stir until the flakes have dissolved. Cool to lukewarm.

Stir in the glycerin and the essential oil and leave to cool. As the mixture cools, it forms a loose gel. Stir with a fork to break up the gel and, using a funnel, pour into a narrow-necked plastic bottle. (An old shampoo bottle makes an excellent storage container.)

To use, squirt two to three teaspoonfuls under running water into the sink.

Surprisingly, these two products weren’t hard to make. I encourage you to try making at least one of them.

Let me know how it turns out!
