I had to chuckle a bit at a story we read today on Daybreak. It was all about how these women get together and have cleaning parties. At first, I was thinking, "yeah - like I would invite a bunch of my friends and acquaintances over to my messy house: hey gals! Grab a mop and let's go to town! Rebecca- really scrub on that window - the dogs have drooled all over it!" No way. How mortifying. My rule is that only I see my dirty house. Only I clean it.
Then, upon second glance, I realized these "cleaning parties" were actually a chance for women concerned for the health of their families to get together and share some natural cleaning secrets.
My mom is actually the biggest proponent of natural cleaning stuff. Baking soda and vinegar and a bucket of scalding hot water can do wonders, according to her. This particular group would agree. They even offer some cleaning recipies, if you will.
As for me, I'm still undecided - I think it's a good idea to be as health-conscious as possible. Still, nothing beats a quick spray of some harsh chemical to eat away at the dog drool in seconds. I'm a busy girl. Now, having a doggie-doo picking up party... that's a brilliant idea.
