I love simple green solutions, so when I stumble upon them in blog land, I’m elated. You see, I love baking soda and vinegar. Okay I’m weird. I admit it. I use both for the bulk of my household cleaning and laundry. I love the clean fresh non chemical scent they give to freshly laundered clothes when I use baking soda and scent free laundry detergent in the wash cycle and vinegar in the rinse cycle.
Recently, I discovered this baking soda based air freshener by Smashed Peas and Carrots:
Neat idea! I’m definitely going to give this a try.
And then I discovered a baby oil remedy for removing labels over at Krafty Kat.
I reuse plastic containers and glass jars to store and organize my craft supplies and I have such a hard time removing the labels.
I have Goo Be Gone but dislike the strong chemical formula so this green alternative is definitely for me.
I challenge myself to go green whenever I can using the products pictured below:
Discovering a new green application or tip is a return to basics and simple living; I like that:)
Do you have simple green ideas you like to use?
Joselyn,
It never ceases to amaze me how much passion and creativity you have for the things you love, including all your DIY projects. Love this post! I definitely want to try the baking soda airfreshner! I love a fresh, clean scent in my home and work space! Thanks for the share!

Joselyn, I met you at Haven and I’m just now getting around to going through that HUGE stack of business cards I collected (blogger fail!). It was great to meet you and these are great tips! I’m a new follower and look forward to reading more!
Joselyn, I followed an “in over my head” link from Ms. Mustard Seed. I didn’t have anything helpful to suggest on your son’s room, but I wandered around here a bit because I liked your attitude and your sweet, friendly face. Then I saw that you do things like save plastic bottles, etc., and that is just so ME! I have a terrible time letting go of any container I think I MIGHT ever use, and I NEVER throw them away–I can usually palm them off on someone else by suggesting something useful for THEM.
Anyway, I have subscribed and am happy to be here. I anticipate enjoying your blog very much.
