The Year I Started Cleaning with Vinegar.
So two weeks into 2012 and I’ve nothing more than a new tag to use: The Year I Started Cleaning with Vinegar. A little quirky…I know.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Rather than start a new blog (how many does one person need?) I thought I would just start a category. Here’s where I’m coming from…
There’s a difference in cleaning with vinegar because that’s what you have vs. choosing not to buy fancy, and dangerous, products. Yay me! I’ve arrived.
There’s “feel good” in knowing that I’m using something basic to take care of…well, the basics of cleanliness. This also follows my already year-old commitment to using Jaydancin products. They’re awesome for me…and for you.
But there’s more: Like parenting and how households end up more like vinaigrette. There’s shake ups and spices and basics of oil/vinegar combinations and concoctions. There will be plenty of posts around that salad bowl.
Vinegar is used to preserve things we enjoy later like grandma’s pickles.
Vinegar is considered a gentle acid and somehow that translates into a shiny surface without any power tools in my mind.
…and it goes on french fries, one of my favourite indulgences.
Now before you think I’ve gone all “Mr. Whateverhisnameis-WindexFreakFrom-the-Greek-Wedding-movie” don’t worry. I won’t put any in a spray bottle to have handy…in the car or to our lunch date, but may just use it on the weeds in the yard too.
Most of all, it’s kind of fun not labeling this year’s events with something heavy and burdensome like the last two blogs I’ve written. I’m just not carrying it. It’s time to lighten up and just plain ‘ol live…vinegar style. Uncomplicated, taken care of, in full choice, strong and best experienced in a room with fresh air.
Keeping it light, and still believing in ME
