What Odor?

I love this stuff!

We saw an episode of Pitchmen and decided to give it a try. One of our cats had had an accident in the playroom and nothing I was trying would get the smell totally out. I have a very sensitive nose as well, so I could still smell it even when Andy and Deidra said that they didn't smell anything. We got our order and gave it a try. It really does work on cat urine. Andy even sprays the cat boxes with it when he's scraping their boxes and it really does take care of the smell. I spray it in the garbage cans, I've used it in the van after one of the kids had a poopy diaper and the smell wouldn't leave the van. I'm a believer and we'll definitely be ordering more! I just had to share as I really do like this stuff and it really does work!

My new best friend...

I decided to try Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel to see if it would help keep the toilets looking nice and clean in between my deep cleanings. You just place the gel inside the bowl near the rim with the little gel dispenser and you don't have to touch it again. Each time you flush the toilet, the water dispenses a little gel to clean the bowl and it lasts up to a week. I have to say after using them for a week, I am totally sold. They are awesome!

My Homemade Detergents

At the beginning of the month, I made homemade laundry and dishwasher detergent.

I made Tropical Citrus Tango dishwashing detergent and it smells and cleans awesome.




I made Sun Dried Linen liquid laundry detergent and it makes the laundry smell so good.

Making Detergents...

Lisanne, over at bathtubjunkie.net , piqued my interests the other day when she posted about making her own dishwashing detergent as well as laundry soap. It got me investigating making your own cleaners and so forth and I ran out to Wal-mart today and got stuff to make my own dishwashing detergent and liquid laundry soap.

I made Tropical Citrus Tango dishwashing detergent (it smells wonderful...I just hope it cleans wonderful) that I'm going to use when I run the dishwasher tonight.

I made Sun Dried Linen liquid laundry detergent and even Deidra commented that it smelled good when I was making it. I have to wait 24 hours until it gels up to start using it, but I can't wait to try it out.

This may have just sparked a new interest and hobby for me. It sounds weird to be interested in making your own cleaners and such, at least to me, but it was fun to do and I already have thoughts of other scents and so forth to try. :-)

This just makes me want to try my hand at making soaps too, but I don't know how to do that yet. Any soap makers out there want to give me some tips or easy recipes to start with?
