“It’s all in the attitude – housework is exercise. Slim your way to a clean home!” – Linda Solegato

When it comes to household chores, whatever I find most difficult to do, I’ll take it on first. I find it best to tackle tougher chores early in the day when my energy and motivation are both at peak levels. By getting the tough task out of the way, it gives me the satisfaction and momentum to the rest of my day.

You may think you would be happiest with no chores at all. Perhaps you’re right, but that would not be the case for most people. Work and the satisfaction it brings seem to be a key ingredient in human happiness quotient.

Go green with these non-toxic ways to clean your home:-

Surface:
Mix some baking soda with liquid soap to make a paste. Use this to scrub delicate surfaces clean. Only make what you need because this paste dries quickly.

Streak-free Glass:
Mix 1/4 cup of white vinegar with 1 tablespoon cornstarch to 1 quart of warm water. Place the mixture in a spray bottle to spritz onto glass or windows. Use newspaper to clean the glass to get streak-free results.

Oven:
Mix 1 part vinegar with 4 parts water. Put the mixture into a spray bottle and spritz onto a cool oven surface. Use a sponge to scrub the oven clean. For stubborn stain, use baking soda or citrus-based cleaners.

Toilet bowl:
Sprinkle borax around the toilet bowl then drizzle with white vinegar. Leave for several hours before scrubbing with a toilet brush to remove stains.
