Organizing my home is my claim to fame, cleaning my home on the other hand is not my favorite chore. I always look for new ways to help speed up the daily process, all while using safe cleaning products. I began using mostly natural and organic cleaners a few years ago. Last Christmas, I bought an all purpose cleaner by Mrs. Meyers with a Peppermint Scent. Once the holidays were over, it was hard to find, as it was a Limited Edition. On a cleaning day recently, I ran out of my counter cleaner. I quickly searched Pinterest to make my own cleaner and came across many homemade recipes. Here is one of my favorites that I use daily since that day, and guess what… it smells just like the Mrs. Meyers Peppermint All Purpose Spray.
