I wonder sometimes if they will really work so it's nice to hear that they do. We have hard water and I love my tolet cleaner, so that is the one I worry about the most. How do you keep the ring from forming from the hard water in the tolet bowl? I've never been able to get myself to swiss and swipe daily as FlyLady does. As far as Spring cleaning I've been doing it since Jan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994473436725815322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480650597030131765.post-68094121697999486382010-03-21T10:25:31.513-06:002010-03-21T10:25:31.513-06:00Hey, I came back to read your tips again.

Cleaning/organizing cabinets, pulled out the fridge (GROSS!)...it feels so good. Oh, and you reminded me of the Murphy's oil soap, so I got mine out to wash all the cabinets...it smelled so good!!

I've got to dig into my spring cleaning, too. Just been putting it off.

You deserve it - you have been Spring Cleaning! But, you must make the facial scrub and let it sit for 15 min., you will love that! And, if you get a little on your lip, just lick it off, it's so good!! <br /><br />I love my music - I know that some people don't like it, that's why I have it on top, then they can turn it off right away, but I love it, and I'm glad you like it too. <br /><br />I want your shower cleaner recipe - I keep forgetting to get it from you, I always think about it in the shower!

But, I buy my Dr. Bronner's at any health food store, or, I get really good deals at Vitacost.com, it's cheaper that way. I also buy me essential oils at the health food store - but I know that you can get them online also. Thanks for stopping.

Forget about the spring cleaning. Just kidding. Although as I am typing I am listening to your music. Three Dog Night-Pieces of April. I love that song. Your suggestions were wonderful and I love Dr. Bronner's. Thanks for suggesting it to me several months ago. I use it in my recipe for shower cleaner and it is delightful.
