Spring Cleaning

            When I wear this felt hat to see my sister, my four year old nephew says “yeehaw cowboy!” so I try to wear it everytime now. I seriously love it! Sometimes it is the little things that make our day. A clean house is one of those short moments that make my day. Lately I have been de-chemicalizing our house. I’m pretty sure that isn’t a word but if you have read the label on your lysol spray you know what I am talking about. After doing some research about how chemicals in everyday household products can weaken your overall health, I decided to dig deeper. Here is an article for a taste of what I found. This ended with gutting all of our cleaning products and with that my loyalty to these brands. Cleaning products, dryer sheets, detergent, and even shampoo got involved. This took months of hard work with many lessons learned. I found one brand that I have grown to trust. BETTER LIFE is a brand of cleaning products that are plant based and effective! This stuff is tough on the mess and safe. We use dish soap, disinfectant spray, and floor cleaner. My dog licks up the solution before I have time to mop the floor and I know that it won’t hurt him. I can laugh and go on mopping without worry. This stuff smells great and unlike some of those natural products out there it really works. If you have it on your list to lower the chemicals in your home, I suggest starting with this and see how far it takes you. Thanks for stopping by!
