 The next time you go down the laundry section at the store, take time to read the labels on the products.  After being shocked by all the warnings on the label, you will notice that the list of ingredients includes harsh chemicals, parabens, phthalates, glycol solvents, artificial colors, fragrances, and phosphates. 

 Now take a moment to realize that all those toxic laundry ingredients are ending up in our water supply and the air that we breathe.

 Keeping your house clean is important. So is keeping your kids safe. Most cleaning products are not safe to use around kids or even the person using them.

Keeping My Kitchen Clean With ARM & HAMMER Garbage Disposal Cleaner

A simple and safe way to keep your kitchen smelling nice


  Sponsored post

 With everyone home all day, it seems like the kitchen is always messy. No sooner do I clean up the breakfast dishes, someone is fixing themselves a snack. That is a problem with the kids doing online school and the husband working from home, the kitchen is always in use. I remember the good old days when everyone left the house in the morning for school and work and I stayed home with a clean kitchen. That was five months ago and I long for those quiet days as well as a clean kitchen.


I have learned to ignore the kitchen mess

 I have learned to ignore the dirty dishes piling up in the sink and the sticky countertops during the day. I used to be bothered by the constant mess in the kitchen, ok it still bothers me, and just clean the kitchen up once a day. I am just thankful that my family puts their dishes in the sink and makes their own meals. I tried teaching my husband how to load the dishwasher but he never puts the dishes in the right place. Sometimes I think my husband loads the dishes wrong just to annoy me. When I move the dishes around in the dishwasher, he does not seem to understand that dishes need to be in a certain direction to get cleaned. Placing a cup upside down will not get clean.

 My boys did a somewhat good job of loading the dishwasher but they do better at unloading the dishwasher. So their chore for the day is putting the clean dishes away. So now my cleaning routine is to clean the kitchen after dinner. While this way of cleaning keeps me sane it can lead to kitchen odors. Dirty dishes in a sink all day and food scraps in the garbage disposal, leave behind a bad smell. So I load up the dishwasher with the dirty dishes and wipe down the kitchen counters. Then I close up the kitchen, how I wish I could keep the kitchen clean until morning but that will never happen with growing boys who are always hungry. The last thing that I do before I walk away from my clean kitchen is to place an ARM & HAMMER Garbage Disposal Cleaner in my garbage disposal.

+ Eliminates Odors
+ Easy to Use
+ Leaves behind a fresh citrus scent



Can I least have a neon sign that says "kitchen closed?"

 Arm & Hammer Garbage Disposal Cleaner cleans and deodorizes my disposal with the power of baking soda, leaving behind a fresh citrus scent. The best part after a great smelling kitchen is this product is made with safe ingredients that do not cause me to have an asthma attack. These small orange balls are scented with essential oils and make my kitchen smell like oranges. It is like tossing fresh orange peels into my garbage disposal but better. So now I can toss my orange peels into my compost pile for great garden soil and let the power of baking soda clean my kitchen.


It’s easy to use – just 3 simple steps – and only takes a minute

 I like how easy the Arm & Hammer Garbage Disposal Cleaner is to use. I just run the water and disposal ~ turn off the disposal ~ toss in the orange capsule and run the kitchen disposal again. This only takes a minute and my kitchen smells amazing with a fresh citrus scent. The instructions on the package say to use twice a week or as needed to clean and deodorize your garbage disposal. I like the scent of citrus so I use the ARM & HAMMER Garbage Disposal Cleaner several times a week.

A clean kitchen makes me smile  



 When my kitchen is clean it makes me happy. A clean kitchen also makes it easier for me to be creative in the kitchen. When my kitchen is clean, I have more room to cook. I don't cook every day but when I do start cooking I cook many dishes. The other day my husband brought home an abundance of tomatoes from the church food pantry. So I made oven-roasted sun-dried tomatoes. Then one thing lead to another and before the day was done, I made homemade 60-minute white bread, roasted potatoes in the air-fryer, homemade spicy carrot hummus, grilled onions, and roasted tomatoes in the air fryer. My son wanted to bake some soft pumpkin chocolate chip cookies but since my tomatoes were drying in the oven I had to say no.


 I also discovered a new way to roast tomatoes and trust me when I say they are delicious. Since I had an abundance of tomatoes, I decided to roast some in the air fryer. I was not sure what to expect as I was hoping that I could sun-dry the tomatoes faster. I am glad that I decided to place some of the tomato halves in the air fryer basket. The air fryer roasted tomatoes turned out incredibly sweet and full of flavor. You have to try my recipe for Roasted Tomatoes Made In The Air Fryer. The air fryer perfectly roasts the tomatoes into delicious sweet and savory delicious gems. These will not disappoint you.


 My family loves when I mad cook as it means that we have a fridge full of delicious food. It also makes eating meals simpler when everyone is busy with work and school. For me, it means that I can take the container of caramelized onions and some roasted tomatoes out of the fridge. Then slice a piece of homemade bread to create a delicious pizza in no time. After all this cooking, my kitchen was a mess and I had no one to blame for the mess. My kitchen also did not smell the best as I also cooked some onions. I am glad that I had ARM & HAMMER Garbage Disposal Cleaner to give my kitchen a nice citrus scent.



Clean The Bathroom Mess The Non Toxic Way

Bathrooms don't stand a chance against this non-toxic bathroom disinfectant. 

I received samples of Cleanwell products to facilitate this post.

The bathroom is my least favorite room to clean, especially the one upstairs that the boys use. Bathrooms are a place to get clean and take care of bodily functions. Sometimes the bodily functions of boys can be quite messy. No matter how much you teach boys how to aim, pee always ends up around the potty. In a perfect world, boys would sit while they pee but I don't see that happening. I tried to keep my boys in the dark about standing while potty training but all too soon they see an older brother or friend in the bathroom and it is over. So as a mom of four boys, five if you include the husband, your best defense is non-toxic cleaners that kill over 99.9% of the bathroom germs, including cold & flu viruses.

A safer way to clean

  I am glad that the boys have learned how to lift the seat when using the bathroom and they always put it back down afterward. So, for the most part, I never see the mess until cleaning day. My husband is also good at playing pee police and will make the boys clean the toilet seat if he sees a mess. So I like to keep a container of Botanical Disinfecting Wipes in the bathroom so they can wipe up after their messes. Messes will happen. I like that there are non-toxic wipes that my boys can use to wipe down the toilet seat. So what happens in the bathroom stays in the bathroom.

Most household cleaning products are a cocktail of chemicals that can be dangerous to your health. Common ingredients include:

·       Quaternary ammonium – used as an antimicrobial and disinfectant – but toxic to aquatic animals and linked to asthma, skin irritation, birth defects and fertility problems in mice

·       2-butoxyethanol – a solvent linked to sore throats and, at high levels, pulmonary edema, and liver and kidney damage- now listed as a hazardous substance in California

·       Formaldehyde – a known human carcinogen that masquerades under different names such as formalin, methanol, and oxymethylene on product labels

·       Synthetic coloring – linked to skin irritations and ADHD in children

Fight those germs with CleanWell 


What happens in the bathroom stays in the bathroom.

I try to deep clean the bathroom one a week. It is my least favorite place to clean but it has to be done. Since my boys are older, they help out with the chores around the house. They help make the messes so they help clean them up. So by using safe non-toxic cleaners, my boys can help with the bathroom chores. I spray and they wipe. Since my favorite cleaner requires no rinsing, we can get the bathroom cleaned in no time. The citrus scent leaves the bathroom smelling nice and clean.

Clean Well is a powerhouse citrus botanical formula that is a kick-butt germ and odor-causing bacteria spray that's perfect for every bathroom surface. 

Benefits
Kills 99.9% of germs botanically
Cleans, disinfects, deodorizes
Effectively controls odors

Botanically based formula
No rinsing or wiping required even on food contact surfaces and children's toys

Next room up, the kitchen

     My boys know that helping with cleaning chores means more time for fun. My youngest loves to help me in the kitchen and when we cook, we can be quite messy. When we are done baking cookies, I let him drive the 3 in 1 Stick Vacuum and I tackle the counter messes. My son gets the crumbs and I kiss the germs goodbye from all our baking fun. Yes, there can be germs from baking cookies as raw eggs can contain germs. That is why I tell my boys no sampling until the cookies are baked.

Are you a mom to boys?
