i just can't handle scents, i don't like them, the older i get the more sensitive i am to it. i just want things to look and BE clean, and hopefully the smell won't be overbearing. |

Coffee grounds are also good if planted around carrots. It helps work as a repellent and at the same time makes it easier to weed and tug them out at harvest time.
Oh and works as a cat repellent. My mother uses them in the flowerbeds to keep the cats from doing their business in there. |

And, coffee grounds are sooooo much better for the environment. Plus, if you do have pets/kids, they are non-toxic.

If you have ants this is what you do sprinkle cinnamon where you see them sweep into cracks and when ant season is over just sweep and wash. Only use cinnamon without the sugar. It works!!

I will have to try using the vinegar in the washer trick... I am very thankful that I have a washer and dryer in my place, most don't... I do however have to head down to the laundry mat to wash my comforter... that should be interesting...

![]() Yes! For brunettes only: add 1/4 cup of used coffee grounds to about 3 cups of hot water, and let it sit until completely cool. Then strain it till all grounds are removed. Pour the liquid over your hair after washed and conditioned, and rinse after a couple of minutes. (I pour it into an empty shampoo bottle, and keep it in the shower.) It brings out lowlights, dissolves product buildup and leaves your hair super shiny and bouncy. (Plus if you use flavoured coffee, your hair will smell exceptionally delicious. I usually do this with crème brulée flavoured coffee, but sometimes with coconut.) Works on coloured hair too, as long as it's brown. |

![]() Yes, really! One thing I forgot to mention is that you want to use a lot of it . . this recipe makes enough for 2 or 3 uses, depending on the length of your hair. Pour it over your hair and keep pouring, you really want to drench your hair with it. |

I use essential oils a lot to clean, repel pest, all kinds of things.
When deep cleaning I fill a bucket of warm water, add little mint oil & lavender. I clean all kinds of things- the counters, walls and floors. I also use a steamer. The scent of peppermint bugs and mice hate it. I sometimes put some in a spray bottle, hot water and spray along base boards, under counters and even in my barn. This year I'm planting all kinds of mint in the ground all around the barn. I hate rats. I've recently received several large Himalayan Salt Lamps. Once is 25 pounds, the other smaller and in my bedroom. I am amazed how well it cleans the air and the energy it emits. Very calming and tranquil. I wish I had some this sooner. I don't like to use chemicals on the floors. I don't want to inhale it nor so I want all the dogs stepping on it. We use plant based products to clean dog areas. You can also get a big big jar, put lots of orange peels, add white vinegar ( I also add mint) let it sit for a few days. It makes a very strong cleaner you can use directly for problems or add to mop water for a wonderful safe floor cleaner.

I love steam for cleaning. I use a steam mop with plain water on the floors since I have dogs and cats to think about. In bathrooms, around trash cans and on any spots.....I just let it sit and steam for a minute or two without moving it. Works like a charm.
To clean a dirty microwave, I put a cup of plain water in and turn it on for about 3 minutes....long enough for it to boil and steam for awhile. Everything will just wipe right out easily. If there are food odors in the microwave, add a splash of vinegar to the water. ![]()

Speaking of microwaves, if your kitchen sponge is getting smelly but is still in good condition, wet it and put it in the microwave for around 90 seconds. It will kill the bacteria so you can continue to use the sponge.
