"Did she just say that her floor cleaner represents a major milestone in her life?" Yup, I did!

And at that moment it hit me!"Breathing in this toxic, cleaner CANNOT be good for my baby...or me!"I immediately put down my mop, picked up the computer, and started researching homemade, eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning alternatives. I was shocked to find that I had all of the ingredients for homemade floor cleaner, right in my home! Best of all, inhaling it wasn't going to make us (me + baby) sick!After I made that cleaner from I was hooked; my journey to a cleaner, greener life began. Over the next several months, I was a mom on a mission! I safely disposed of all of my chemical cleaning products (17 to be exact), replacing them with three, simple, eco-friendy cleaners, pillaged my pantry of any processed food and preservatives, and replaced my beauty products with non-toxic, DIY, alternatives. Everything from toothpaste to ketchup to facial cleanser has since then been made by modern hippie moi, and I've never looked back!And guess what? Living a #LifeFromScratch is not only incredibly rewarding and healthy for you and your family, the environment, and your bank account, also reap the benefits!Although I've since tweaked the original floor & glass cleaner recipe to better suite my preferences, I still use this DIY Multi-Purpose Spray-Mop & Glass Cleaner on a daily basis and STILL love it!
