Ditch the chemicals- try a simple home remedy

Every time I clean the bathroom or kitchen I think about the chemicals I'm using, where they came from  and where they're going.  Of course, down the drain seems fine but when you really think about it, the chemicals we use, bleach, ammonia, tub & tile cleaner (whatever that is!) it's all really nasty stuff that is harmful to the water and therefore harmful to us. Not to mention the fumes we breathe in every time we clean.  

I've started using more earth-friendly products such as Seventh Generation and Method but they're likely still harmful to me when breathing them in.... have you tried 'em?  Burn baby Burn... that's what they do to my nostrils! So, I've begun researching and testing out some home remedies that will save me some money, and hopefully a few nose hairs. Here are a few of the recipes I've found and the sites on which I've found them.     

For a clogged drain try: 
1 cup salt
1 cup baking soda
1 cup vinegar
Mix & pour down drain.  Follow with 2 quarts boiling water


Bathtub Cleaner: 
Make a paste of peroxide and cream of tartar. Scrub vigorously with a small brush. Rinse thoroughly. If the stains persist, spread the mixture over the stains and apply a drop or two of household ammonia. Allow to set for two hours before scrubbing.
Did you know that honey remedy for skin blemishes? Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a band-aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin, sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.
