Non-Toxic Kitchen Cleaner

Making your own non-toxic kitchen cleaner is insanely simple! You only need 3-4 ingredients which you probably (maybe?) already have in your pantry! Since the main ingredient is vinegar, it is important to note that vinegar shouldn’t be used on all surfaces, especially porous stone. Be sure to check how vinegar reacts with your specific counter tops.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Parts White Vinegar
  • 1 Part Water
  • 1-3 Citrus Peels

*And Or*

  • 15-20 Drops of Essential Oil
    • Indulge your inner mad scientist by choosing your own unique combination of scents!
    • Popular choices are: Orange, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Grapefruit, Peppermint and Lavender

Process (if using citrus peels):

  1. Mix vinegar, water and citrus peels into a glass jar
  2. Let sit for 2-3 weeks in a dry, dark place to allow the citrus oil to seep into the mixture
  3. Strain liquid into a reusable chemical spraying bottle
  4. That’s it! Time to clean!

Process (if using essential oils):

Simply mix all ingredients into your chemical spraying bottle and shake!

Enjoy your clean, non-toxic kitchen!!

DIY Dryer Lint Fire Starter

Did you know you can reuse dryer lint??? If now, excuse me while I blow your mind!!!

Dryer lint is EXTREMELY flammable, which is why it’s so important to keep your lint trap clean! Instead of throwing it in the trash, put your lint to good use by making this very simple fire starter.

All you need!

Simply fill each egg carton cell with dryer lint. Pack it full and tight.

Then melt some wax of your choosing on the stove and pour a thin layer over each cell.

Once the wax has cured (hardened) cut each cell apart and store in a safe place (away from fire/heat sources)

Each fire starter will burn for about 15 minutes. You only need to use 1-4 , depending on the size of your fire.

*Please always use caution when using fire or fire starters. Make sure your fit pit/place is suitable for containing fires.
