Alright Ladies, I need some help. For mother's day I am going to give my beloved mom a basket of my homemade cleaning supplies(and "Young Victoria " dvd and lunch out with her 5 daughters- so it's not as a grim as it sounds ;) This year my daughters and I began experimenting and making some really good products. I am giving Mom,
1- grapefruit sink scrub (in one of those glass parmesan cheese shakers)(also works as a carpet deodorizer- sprinkle on and then vacume)
2. grapefruit and tea tree oil surface spray (for counters, etc..)
3.Lime& lavender laundry soap and fabric softener
4. lemon rosemary furniture polish (one of my current favorite things in the world- smells DELISH)
I'll also add some bright and funky rubber gloves and maybe the cd to "Glee"- very good cleaning music....
do you guys have any other suggestions? I'd like one more thing (I don't bother with homemade toilet cleaners or glass cleaners- she just uses vinegar on the windows) I gave homemade lotion and lip balm for christmas... I am totally OUT of ideas...
thanks, Mcchatty
