Natural Homemaking

I love cleaning and looking after the house and its safe to say I have a definite homemaker side. Recently I have been trying to use more and more natural ingredients in my cleaning endeavours. This is a slow process I am still working on, because it takes a lot more effort to consciously decide to make your own cleaning products or buy all natural ones as appose to off the shelf supermarket brands.

My Favourite Scent: Spicy Christmas
Homemade air freshener smells so much better than from a aerosol can, it also lasts a lot longer. At the moment I have been simmering lemon peel, ground cloves, vanilla, sage and rosemary over the stove. The house smells beautiful!


Homemade Kitchen/Surface Spray
This week I made a big batch of general kitchen/surface spray. Its so easy to make and its all natural - yay, for no nasty chemicals! The ingredients are:
50% water
50% vinegar
1 Tbsp vanilla
orange essential oil

Now my house is lovely and clean and fresh. It really does smell like Christmas! Peace - Q.S.B.
