Clean the Dishwasher!

To clean your dishwasher effortlessly, fill a dishwasher safe bowl or jar with 2 cups of vinegar and set on the top rack of the dishwasher. I used a small glass Pyrex container.

Run through on a hot cycle with no other dishes in the dishwasher to clean and remove the musty odor.Clean the Dishwasher!

Basic Air Freshener Spray Formula

There are so many reasons to give up commercial aerosol room sprays and make your own air freshener spray!

Chlorofluorocarbons are harmful to the planet, and aerosolized chemicals should never be inhaled, yet that is exactly what we do when we spray aerosol air freshener!

As a safe, non-toxic alternative, you can make your own air freshener using baking soda as the base, because it is a natural deodorizer.

You will need:
• Baking Soda
• Warm water
• Lemon juice or your favourite essential oil
• small spray bottle

Dissolve 1/8 cup baking soda and 2 cups of warm water in the spray bottle, and shake well to dissolve. Then add several drops of your favourite essential oil. If you don't have essential oil on hand, use 1/8 cup of lemon juice. Citrus is a great choice for this formula, because it smells clean and fresh! Remember to label this bottle, and shake well before each use to mix the fragrance.
