Mental Health Benefits of Spring Cleaning: Keeps you active physically and mentally.

Green Cleaning Tip: Create your own cleaning solution

It is easy to fall prey to the illusion that brand name chemical substances are the most effective way to get rid of the most difficult, stubborn dirt and grime. Though, that simply isn’t true. You can also use everyday kitchen materials to build a number of your own unique cleaning aids.

For instance, a half a glass of lemon juice, blended with two teaspoons of olive oil, will assist you to dust and polish your wooden furniture.

If you’re working in the toilet, combine a spoon of borax with one glasses of boiled, warm water. Combine in a quarter teaspoon of tea tree oil and a quarter a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and then spray it on your bathroom sink or tub, or even in the toilet. It makes a wonderful sanitizer.

Cleaning Supplies

Finding cleaning supplies is a relatively easy task. Just head down to your local convenience store or a nearby Walmart or the mall to get all the equipment you need to effectively clean your apartment. You will just need a few cloths, a broom, a duster, cleaning detergents and a good mop.
