Low Cost Green Cleaning

Green cleaning doesn’t have to cost arms and legs. With low cost green cleaning, we still can have safer effects for our body and the environment. This post is a guest post from a very good blogging buddy of mine. Her name is Misty Marroquin and she writes at http://Denverista.com. Misty enjoys family, blogging and being a mom to toddlers.

Hi Everybody! My name is Misty and I have a blog called Denverista.com. I am living in colorful Colorado with my incredible and handsome husband and my two little toddlers. We recently moved from Atlanta to Denver so we have lots of new things to explore and look forward to learning everything. Oh, the joys of toddlerhood. My job is to find ways to “Stretch Our $ Mile High!” while keeping my sanity.

I want to share my tip with parents of boy children. Ahem, the boy bathrooms smell. If you have boys or children being potty trained at your house, I am sure that you can relate to what I am talking about. I soon discovered the unpleasant smell during the potty training of my children. It is not a nice smell! Especially when you have company that uses the main bathroom as the children.

I tried covering up the smell with chemical laden bathroom products. I brought in potpourri and candles to hide the smell. They failed! It masked the smell, but did not eliminate the smell completely. Stumped, but not defeated! I finally found the miracle cure. It is a good thing that I prefer to use and clean with “green cleaners”. Most likely, you already have the miracle cleaning item in your home. Are you ready to find out what it is?

Ready; two words, Hydrogen Peroxide! If your house is like mine, you already have a dusty bottle of this under your sink. I dusted my bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide off and inserted a spray nozzle onto the bottle. Then, I went to town on my bathroom. I sprayed all around the toilet, the main source of the, ahem, boy smell. Next, I sprayed the walls, the bathroom cabinet, the bathtub and the floor. Then I wiped it off with a towel, it is was that easy. Afterwards, I noticed the smell was gone, completely gone.

Holy cow! It worked amazing! There is no tell-tale smell of a boy in the bathroom. I consider that a win in my house! As the bonus of this miracle cleaner, I didn’t have to shell out a lot of money to rid the smell in the bathroom. Personally, I am fed up with the lies of products that promise you and don’t guarantee the results. Hydrogen Peroxide didn’t let me down and costs a fraction of the price of products that claim they can do the job, yet they don’t.

Now when I have guests over, I don’t cringe when they walk into the kids bathroom. I know that I have found the mother of all miracle cleaners, which I can get for a dollar at the Dollar Tree. And now, the candles in the bathroom are just decorative and not a necessity. Albeit, they are a little dusty from lack of use (maybe I should just get rid of them completely, lol).

On a side note, my children got into a tube of green icing and smeared it all over the carpet. I’m talking green was everywhere, and I was thinking “I can’t afford new carpet”, but after seeing how well the Hydrogen Peroxide worked in the bathroom, what did I have to lose? I poured it directly onto the green dye mess, and lo and behold, I was shocked to see the stain erase from the carpet. After I poured it onto the carpet, I rubbed it in with my fingers, and then blotted it up with paper towels. My carpets have no evidence of my misbehaved children’s antics.

So, there you have two very good uses for Hydrogen Peroxide. If you are thinking about starting to clean “green”, I suggest using a bottle of this miracle. There are so many more ways that you can utilize this miracle product that is non-toxic and non-harmful for your body. I hope it works for you as well as it did for my family and household. If you are interested in more ways to use Hydrogen peroxide in your home, I have a more detailed list on my blog, which you can read here. http://denverista.com/thrifty-tips-tuesday-hydrogen-peroxide/
