Th...I live with Roommate and TallerYoungerBrother. They are both me-proclaimed slobs. Hence, I chemical clean the SHIT out of our bathrooms, kitchen sink, counter and even appliances. <BR/><BR/>When it's just Steph and I though? I'll back it down some. But for now...I'm using the equivalent of the Ghostbuster nuclear accelerator proton packs (don't cross the rays)....and inhaling...and wiping it all up with a paper towel. <BR/><BR/>Mwahahaha. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>I do, however, use reusable grocery bags. :)Peashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320807530325129643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500945918742954813.post-56937379649951289102008-08-04T11:05:00.000-07:002008-08-04T11:05:00.000-07:00We're kidding ourselves. I hate to say that, but ...We're kidding ourselves. I hate to say that, but in a lot of cases it's true. I used to use *only* organic and all-natural cleaners, but I ran into the same problems -- grimy residues left on things, sticky floors, etc. Plus, I didn't trust that our kitchen sink (the big bacterial offender, esp as we eat meat and I don't get around to cleaning it everyday) was being properly disinfected.<BR/><BR/>So now we compromise. I use bleach (namely Comet -- on the kitchen/bathroom sinks and in the toilet bowl) when I do a deeper cleaning, usually once a week. I use Simple Green on the countertops and floors, which is biodegradeable but still <EM>much</EM> stronger than the Seventh Generation stuff. Still, in many cases (like on our shower walls, for example) I've actually found that Doc Bronners on a wet washcloth/sponge works better than any chemical cleaner -- a ray of hope! <BR/><BR/>I think a wee bit of bleach isn't a crime. That said, I'd still avoid things like Scrubbing Bubbles, 409 etc, which use harsh and unnecessary chemicals. At least you know that bleach is just chlorine. The other stuff... I don't know.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659607765560980164noreply@blogger.com
