Happy St Patricks Day and the luck of the Irish to all!!! After a wonderful taste of Spring, it is time to think about spring cleaning. Make it a family event and show kids how to share by donating clothes and toys! Living with less is amazingly easy and feels great. Try it!!!

Here are some great tips from Ideal Bite for cutting the cost of cleaning as well as reducing the toxins we use:
Make sure to use white distilled vinegar - balsamic and red wine varieties will stain.
All-purpose countertop and mildew cleaner: Mix vinegar and water 1:1 in a spray bottle.
Fabric softener: Add 1/2 cup to the rinse cycle.
Toilet bowl cleaner: Use pure vinegar to get rid of rings.
Window cleaner: Mix vinegar and water 1:4 in a spray bottle.
Weed killer: Use higher concentrations of vinegar (most household vinegar is 5%, so go for 10% or higher, available at hardware stores).

Now go clean and be green!!
