These are the products that I consistently use in my kitchen. I use the original Rustic Touch on the counter tops and stainless steel appliances. I dilute the Lemon Brite and shorten a spray top for the bottle. I like the ease of spraying the dish detergent on pans, dishes, etc. I use diluted
Sol-u-Mel to eliminate odors. Tough and Tender is a wonderful all-purpose cleaner. DiamondBrite and Rinse Aid in the dishwasher for sparkling clean dishes and glasses. What do you use in the kitchen?
I pay six dollars for this cute little eight-ounce bottle of tough& Tender all-purpose cleaner. this petite bottle can fill
all six bottles standing in the back row. Yes, this little bottle of concentrate makes enough cleaning product to fill all
six bottles. That’s one dollar per 16 ounce spray bottle of cleanser!
An added benefit? It is Nontoxic. and it will hook you into converting your whole home to cleaner, greener, and safer
products like it did me.
This little bottle is gold—Pure GOLD!
Before I started my healthy journey, I was oblivious at the fact that everything added to the laundry wash and dry cycle is ABSORBED into our skin.
Thinking about that makes my skin crawl…especially after recently hearing about the cancer-causing toxins found in Aveeno and Neutrogena products.
My laundry soap, scent booster, stain remover, bleach alternative, fabric softener and dryer sheets from my online shopping club are all eco-friendly,
non-toxic and scented only with essential oils!
I will never judge anyone else’s choices, because I am far from perfect. but I will try to encourage you to join me in trying to do better. If I could encourage you to swap one item to a safer alternative I would start with your laundry line. Detergent, fabric softener, melaboost, and dryer sheets!
Germs are everywhere! Most germs are spread by hands.
With a good workout, you leave it all on the floor. You should also leave the germs behind.
How many surfaces at the gym get touched by sweaty hands? And those sweaty germs?
Germ-free hands mean a worry-free workout!
Clear Defense kills more than 99.99% of illness-causing germs and leaves your hands feeling smooth and moisturized.
That’s why it’s important to regularly use Clear Defense Soothing Hand Sanitizer.in travel size, for your convenience on-the-go!
This is probably my favorite product. I have used it daily for 20 years! Because I use it so often, I make sure I NEVER run out!
It is such an amazing product I’ve found a multitude of uses for it!
First of all it is an all-purpose cleanser and I use it to cleans all the surfaces on everything . Although it is a tough cleanser, it is
safe and gentle for your babies and fur babies. So you can spray down your high chair or the floor and not worry about your baby
eating off it or your pup walking the floor and licking their paws.
Economically, it is around $1.58 a bottle — so it is worth it.
But, if that isn’t enough to have you sold, here are some other ways I use it:
Black house flies: Yes, I use it on pesky house flies when they get inside. I love how one strategic squirt knocks them right out of the air!
It works on most flying insects, I’ve knocked Stink bugs out of the air with this product as well as spiders and lubbers. One or two sprays
even from 10 feet away does the trick.
Ants: I use it on my porch in the spring when the ants come out to play.and hang out on my porch. When I spray my porch down, the ants
don’t come back 
Fruit flies: I sprayed my fresh fruit and tomatoes with the product and rinse them off. It’s safe for fruit, vegetables and humans and it prevents
little fruit flies…
Plants: I use a diluted amount to clean my plants. The leaves are bright and vibrant and I notice fewer gnats and gross bugs are around my plants because of this.
No wonder it’s my favorite cleaner ever!
I can’t share this often enough. I think it’s the best, You see, it only takes one pump per load. This petite container? It does 96 loads.
No junk ingredients. No fillers and it’s highly concentrated.
It’s also the only stuff I will use for products that touch my family member’s skin! Smells heavenly and is excellent on hard stains!
Every month of the year every dollar counts.
Tide — .42 cents a load.
Dreft — .41 cents a load.
Melapower — .20 cents a load.
Works better too. What more can I say?
I always just vacuum my floors. But, with my dog shedding everywhere and the tiny muddy paw prints, well, my floor was way overdue!
I like using safe products that are not harmful to tiny paws or his health. This system has a duster to remove dust and grime, then there’s the mopping pad which is followed by the wax and shine applicator. I was surprised how the duster picked up all the dust and got in the corners of the furniture. Then I started cleaning. The results blew my socks off. My home smells so clean and the floor looks so shiny for the first time since I moved in two years ago!.
Today I decided to actually clean them. This is the first time in years and they gleam! I am so thankful I found this amazing hardwood floor cleaner!
Did you know toxins can be found in many brand name Fabric Softeners:?
It’s true. I was surprised when I found out that one potentially carcinogenic chemicals could be in my laundry.
Clothing and blankets that touch our skin and who doesn’t inhale that fresh clean fabric scent?

Learning about these products in 2004 really opened my eyes to the importance of ingredients. I discovered that some ingredients can cause cancer, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. That explained why I always had skin reactions and felt miserable after cleaning,
I can’t even imagine how much money I’ve saved by switching to non-toxic products that work even better than the toxic ones I used to use. These days, even if a company offered me free cases of Snuggle Softeners and Fabuloso, I wouldn’t use them.
An educated consumer makes better choices. When you know better, you do better.
I don’t know about you but my frugal self will always try to save money wherever I can—especially with this crazy inflation.
Last year, I happily purchases some household goods from my favorite online wellness store. The package arrived two days later. My favorite product wa part of the order it comes in concentrated form. This small bottle concentrate costs $6.99, but when mixed as directed, makes six spray bottles of full-strength cleaner. This makes it so economical— at $1.16 per spray bottle. That’s less than what you’d pay at the Dollar Tree.
It’s time for me to reorder this all-purpose cleaner and I still don’t have to go to the store for it and I know it will be here in two or three days.
I love these kind of savings!
