We all like a clean place to live and work, but some of us have problems with the actual act of cleaning.
I say try changing your cleaning solutions.
Now hear me out a bit. Most people will use the cleaning supplies they are exposed to and that is about it. That exposure normally comes from their parental unit(s), friend(s) or work place. This happens because we know those products will get the desired results. Cleaning is already work, why add more work to it by trying new products that may not do as well of a job?
So why did I pick up Mrs. Meyer's today from Publix? I had products that I knew would get the job done. I had been messaging Ashley of Beauty All Day on Facebook about various things. One was about cleaning products. With my recent aversion to a lot of processed foods, my not liking when my coworkers clean at work (makes me sneeze), and the combination of the conversation with Ashley I went intentionally hunting for a new cleaning product. (I have known Ashley sense High School, shoot her a message for some awesome make-up products that you can't get in a store)
I must have spent like 15 minutes in the cleaning products isle at Publix picking up a product, reading the label, and cracking it open when able to stick my nose in it. If it was packaged in a manner that I could not open it with out breaking some seal or another it got put back on the shelf; I was not willing to do that just to find out what my nose thought about a product.
Then I got to the Mrs. Meyer's Multi-Surface Cleaning Concentrate. Now concentrates bother my nose. However when I stuck my nose at the top of the Mrs. Meyer's ... nothing ... Ok well I did completely enjoy the smell, but there was no tickle sensation. You know that sensation you get before you sneeze. So I bought a bottle.
Once home I realized that I had over looked one thing; the directions to un-concentrate the solution. The directions are for a gallon of water. Sorry not going to make a gallon at one time as I don't typically go through that much. So I made a guess on the dilution, yes I could have done the math, but meh I got lazy what do you want. So I mixed it 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces of water in a spray bottle.
The First thing I attached was the kitchen; using my spray bottle of Mrs. Meyer's and a wash cloth from the stack of them I acquired for cleaning the road rash earlier this year... It Worked! ... Cleaned the entire kitchen, every hard surface, floor included with it. I had to get a second wash cloth to finish the kitchen. The Mrs' Meyer's apparently was working better than my old cleaning solution.
Which means ... I just had to clean every where! Bathrooms, Doors, if it was a hard surface it got sprayed with Mrs. Meyer's and wiped down.
Down side is now I have to do another load of whites, but a clean house is a happy house!
AND I don't feel all worn down. Most bizarre thing of this whole cleaning experiment, I am not exhausted. Cleaning is not easy again for my yet, it still takes a lot of forethought and thought in general in order for me to clean everything because of the limitations set by my knee still recovering. Before I would clean just the Kitchen and be wiped for the rest of the day. Today I cleaned both bathrooms, the kitchen, and wiped all the doors down and I still can go more.
There is one thing that I found the Mrs. Meyer's could not clean; soap scum in the shower I use. Everything else, mirrors, counter tops, tile floors, all cleaned nicely, just not the soap scum in the shower. Oh Well I will take it!
