Using Vinegar in the Laundry: How to Whiten Whites
If anyone would have told me years ago what a struggle it would be to keep white laundry, white. . .I wouldn’t have believed them. Growing up, my mom would soak socks in bleach before washing them in a hot water wash. We did laundry on Mondays and Thursdays, and I’m pretty sure our family had some of the whitest socks on the planet. I mean, put your sunglasses on, friends, and do not look directly at them!
Carpet Deodoriser
A great, non toxic way to keep your carpets smelling fresh and clean. Spice jars are a really good option too, if you don't have a mason jar - although you can pick mason jars up very cheaply from the Reject Shop. This recipe should be enough to do three bedrooms at least! To use the carpet deodorizer, shake a light layer all over the carpet and let it sit for 20 minutes or so - for really stinky carpets you can let it go longer. Then just vacuum it up and enjoy fresh smelling carpets! The essential oil smell will not stick around for more than a day or so, but your carpets will still smell so much nicer even after it goes away. Two things to be cautious about: Don't sprinkle this on the carpet and leave it where pets and children can get to it.
