Hello Dear Reader,
I'm just popping in and out. I've given the kitchen and dining room a good scrub!
I've always had a good housework routine but I must admit, it's not been great recently. I let things build up and then just have a good clean. This meant that the house has slipped from the standards I'm comfortable with.
So, I've got back to some semblance of a routine and and it needs to be quick and not cost much.
Over the weekend, everything had a 'proper clean' with beds changed, the bathroom scrubbed with bicarbonate, all floors swept and vacuumed, laundry done, floors washed and windows cleans. Lots of surfaces get disinfected and for that I use vinegar. I also use Ecover products that I get refilled locally at the hardware shop but if it's greasy and needs scrubbing the it needs bicarbonate, if it's glass, tiles, sinks, while goods and needs a deep clean then vinegar it is.
I've found the vinegar spray in the 99p shop and fill buy a few to keep me going. It cleans just about anything. The fresh smell soon goes. It cleans mirrors, skirting boards, door frames, windows, light switches, kitchen cupboards and work tops. So, back to trying to keep to a routine. I don't cook on Mondays as we just eat Sunday lunch again. It meant I could fill a bowl of soapy water, wipe down surfaces, a quick wipe of the floor and the bottom of the door where the dogs paw to go out.
I've gathered laundry and it's gone in the respective basket, some laundry is hanging by the fire, I've kept on top of it for another day. I'm going to create a household task a day, even if only small to eliminate the need to spend hours on chores at the weekend.
Over to you. What household tips would you like to see? What tasks do you find easier or tougher to keep up with? Who else is a fan of vinegar?
And before its mentioned, no one's given me the product or asked me yo review it or mention the 99p store. You can buy vinegar spray anywhere.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxx
