5 Multitasking Marvels- How to Keep House

Greetings Fam Bam!

I know cleaning is not one our favorite things to do, but we all have to do it. Keeping a clean (and organized) home helps keep stress low and encourages a peaceful atmosphere in the home. If you are budget conscious, like I am, you are always looking for things than can be used for more than one purpose or reused in a new way. These five items are multitasking marvels and can keep your house in tip top shape:

#1 Microfiber Clothes

 These clothes are dirt magnets. They can be used wet or dry. Dry, they work perfectly for dusting blinds and electronic appliances. You can wet them and douse in vinegar to polish stainless steel or get rid of fingerprints.  They are also machine washable ($ saving). Wash on hot without any fabric softener. (You can buy here: http://amzn.to/2lSKc29)

#2 Distilled White Vinegar

This marvel is great for cleaning. White vinegar removes odors and inhibits the growth of mildew and bacteria. You can add it to laundry to get rid of mildew smells. Vinegar can be run through coffeemakers to break up deposits. You can toss vinegar and water in spray bottle and have an easy all-purpose cleaner to wipe down counters.

#3 Dryersheets

If you use commercial dryer sheet or are trying to get rid of them, use them to clean your base boards. I don’t encourage using dryer sheets for laundry (See previous blog: https://mrs7units.blogspot.com/2017/02/dryer-sheets-not-so-soft-and-cuddly-how.html  ) If you run an unused dryer sheet along your baseboard it will repel dust and lint.

#4 Scrigit Scrapers

This pocket sized tool is a perfect way to removed food, candlewax, paint, stickers, and soap from almost any surface. It comes in handy for those annoying suck on things. (Scrigit Scapers: http://amzn.to/2kCpp0W )

#5 Dawn Dishwashing Detergent

This blue stuff is magic. It can be used on clothes to remove oily stains and on your dishes! You can also mix dawn, borax, baking soda, water and essential oils to make a mild laundry detergent. Let me know if you would like the recipe! 

Have fun with these multitasking marvels!
