Cleaning with Pinterest

I'm slowly getting on board the train of cleaning with less chemicals (veeeeerrrrrry slowly), but last week I decided to utilize a couple of ideas that I found on Pinterest (where else?) to clean around the house. They were both big hits, so I thought that I'd share...

1) Soap Scum in the Shower

Our glass in the shower always gets so scummy, thanks in part to how long I wait between cleanings because, if truth be told, I loathe cleaning the bathroom. So much so, that I'm embarrassed to admit that at times it can be dangerously close to that of a bathroom in a frat house. Not quite as bad, but toed the line a few times.
It was so stinkin' simple to make this cleaner that I didn't believe that it could work. It did. Our shower looks fabuloso. I bought a couple of empty spray bottles at the Dollar Tree (love that place) and mixed it up. I will be using this formula from now on and it's so cheap!

2) Ring Around the Toilet

Well, if I hate cleaning the shower, you obviously know how I feel about cleaning the toilet. Although, I hate looking into a dirty toilet, so I do clean this more often than not. I never feel like our cleaners do the best job, so I figured, why not give this a try.

Turns out, I had about four boxes of baking soda in our fridge because I have a tendency to buy them, forget, and buy another box. So I took half of a box, dumped it in, spread it around and let it sit. The toilet looks beautiful. Nice and shiny. No nasty ring. Now the test in on to see how long the clean toilet lasts to see if it's worth the cost.
