Well I’m finally finished (fingers crossed) with washing all of the flu laundry. I had one more cleaning task at hand though, I needed to sterilize the washer. I wanted to try a Green method of cleaning the washer, so I decided to use the White Vinegar that I had purchased for dying the Easter Eggs.
I set the Water Temp on Hot, the load size on Small, and I added in 1/2 cup of White Vinegar to the washer and to the fabric softener cup. I then ran an imaginary load of laundry in the washer 😉 I’m still getting used to the smell of the White Vinegar, I must admit it isn’t one of my favorites, but it got the job done! The washer is sparkling clean, and I know it is healthier too 😉 I’ll definitely use the White Vinegar to clean up around the house more often, I just hope that my nose will cooperate 😉
Do you have any Greener Cleaner tips to share?
I use a lot of white vinegar and baking soda. No real help. I also use Basic H by Shaklee. it is not harmful to the environment and not toxic to children or pets. I use Clorox wipes and bleach for real germy things. Sounds like you are doing a great job Nicole! hope everyone is on the mend. Blessings!!!!!
I love using vinegar. Sometimes if I’ve had enough of the scent I’ll throw in a squirt of Real Lemon. That combo works great on floors.
Thanks Marva! We are still on the mend here, and I’m trying to keep up with all of the cleaning. I’ve run through an entire bottle of Laundry detergent keeping up with the “flu laundry”. I love to use baking soda around the house too… Thanks for the suggestion on the Shaklee products, I’ll have to check them out!
Thanks Susan! I want to use Vinegar more often in the everyday cleaning, but the scent is not my friend. I’ll have to try the Real Lemon out, great suggestion.
I’m cleaning the upstairs bathroom today, again. I just hope that everybody gets back to well soon, I’m tired of all this cleaning 😉
