My cleaning lady has up and left me! Well not exactly - but she gone on vacation for 8 weeks to see her family in Poland. In her absence I have decided that I better get my act together and start cleaning my house before things get out of control.
I hate using harsh cleaners because of the smells and I also fear breathing in the fumes so I have have decided that I need to find gentler alternatives.
By chance I found a great article in Reader's Digest about homemade cleaning products and thought I would share one I am going to use. It is really easy to make kitchen cleaner.
The ingredients are:
2 tbsp phosphate-free
Dishwashing liquid
1 tbsp cornflour
1 cup (250ml) water
1 cup (250ml) distilled white vinegar
A few drops of eucalyptus essential oil or tea-tree essential oil
The Directions are:
Put the ingredients in a plastic spray bottle and shake gently to combine.
Spray a fine film of the mixture over the grubby surface and wipe clean with a soft cloth.
Presto! I have an easy cleaner to use that I know is not toxic or hard for me or my family to use.
I also found out that you can use eucalyptus oil to help removing stains—particularly grease and perspiration—from clothing and other fabrics. Moisten a clean rag with a little oil and dab the stain from the edge to the middle, then launder as usual.
I can't say that I am super pumped about cleaning my house for another 4 weeks but at least I have some help to make it nicer along the way!

Vinegar is also good for cleaning tiles, wall, stickers from wall and refrigeration.
You should try this, very effective and much cheaper.
