as i mentioned last week, spring cleaning hasn't happened yet at our house, and probably won't. until it turns into summer-for-the-sake-of-getting-back-our-deposit cleaning.
that doesn't mean, though, that i don't do any cleaning. i obviously am forced to clean stuff around here in an everyday kind of way. and this week i found the PERFECT cleaning mixture - oh my word, does this stuff clean a toilet. and a countertop. and a floor.
all purpose cleaner
1/2 spray bottle of distilled white vinegar
1/2 spray bottle of water
1 TBSP dish soap
10-20 drops tea tree oil
the nice thing about this stuff is that it actually smells clean. i usually just clean with a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water, and my bathroom always smells like a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water. adding the soap gave it a little cleaning 'oomph', and adding the tea tree oil gave it an actual 'clean' smell. i suppose you could also use a different essential oil - grapefruit would probably smell really clean, too. i just used tea tree oil because a) i had it on hand and b) it's antibacterial.
i DARE you to try this stuff. but be aware: you WILL fall in love with it. this is what they would clean heaven with if heaven ever got dirty.
