  • so fresh and so clean

    I just moved out of a house and decided to pay for a cleaner to come and do a move-out cleaning.  After lugging heavy boxes, I just couldn't bring myself to pick up the scrubbing brush.  

    I hired the Dynamic Workers Cleaning Co-op (based in Los Angeles), that specializes in green cleaning.  I have asthma and I'm really sensitive to most cleaning products.  

    It was amazing to see this one tiny lady make my house pretty darn clean with just a big bottle of vinegar and a big package of baking soda.  All of the other supplies I had provided (just in case) like scrubbing bubbles and 409 spray were cast aside.  She even removed stains and marks that I have been trying to get rid of forever!

    I am pretty impressed!  In the past, I'd used baking soda and vinegar for scrubbing sinks and tubs.  Now I realize you can basically clean anything in your house this way.

    A note of caution about cleaning your oven with baking powder:
    When the man from the gas company came out to turn on the gas at the house I'm moving in to--he told me to be careful using anything powdery when cleaning the stove.  It can clog the little holes where the gas connects to the pilot light and also in the burner.  He had to service my stove because many of the holes (which are tiny) were clogged with powder.On Can a mother survive without antibacterial wipes? posted 2 years, 7 months ago 13 Responses
