I’m one of those crazy people who actually likes to live in a nice clean house. So every Saturday I spend most of my day cleaning, doing laundry and making simple cleaning products for the week.

Also, once a month I make my own Dishwasher Tabs, it saves us a ton of money and takes less than an hour to make. I also like to make Deodorizing Discs, I have them all thru our house: behind our toilet, in our fridge, in our trashcans, under the couch & I have one under our bed. They suck up smells and they give off a nice lemon smell, well mine do I put lemon juice in them instead of essential oils.
I feel like that’s a pretty good cleaning schedule, if you do it every week it doesn’t take much time.
