Love using vinegar water to clean and I like using baking soda to clean my stainless steel sink and I like using baking soda to scrub my pitchers to remove tea stains from inside the pitcher
Looks like my house..😁 I use vinegar to clean my house..it cleans great and it doesn't affect my son who has asthma.. I also use baking soda with the vinegar as a scrub👍 good job mama!!
Baking soda is an awesome cleaner. We use it to clean our stainless steel pans if something is stuck on. Sprinkle some in the pan and rub with a damp dish rag. If something is really stuck on and doesn't come off with the baking soda we pour some vinegar in with the basking soda, swish it around and let it set for a few minutes. It also works to clean the bottoms of the pans/skillets and our stainless steel sinks. Vinegar and baking soda are our 2 cleaning supplies. They work wonderful and oh so cheap!!
I use the old kind of dawn detergent and vinegar. I hear up my vinegar to warm and mix equal parts. Shake up and I LOVE IT for the tubs and showers. Good for the potty too
+Donna Baldwin yes. That is what I was thinking today as I was using the dawn to remove some grease on the deck. I'll have to try it in the shower thanks for reminder
amy maryon it will really cut that ring that can get around the bathtub. Idk if dawn has chemicals or not. I am in the doTerra family and essential oil is so good for cleaning. A little lemon in fruit and veggie water to get off the pesticides is great too
We have a new pizza restaurant and they use flour tortillas for their pizza crust! They are so good and easy. I really didn't think I would like them but I was surprised. BTW, you can add a few drops of Dawn to your vinegar cleaner for wood cabinets & etc. We are a saved Christian family and appreciate you including God in your video!
Hey Amy I'm starting to clean with vinegar also I'm try the vinegar with the orange peels and you let them sit for weeks😄 just things to save money cause the cleaners does get expensive . I ❤ your video's you are such a beautiful person inside and out !! Have a blessed day😊
Love cleaning videos! For my stainless steel appliances I clean the same with vinegar but to get the shine back I pour a small amount if olive oil (grapeseed would work too or sunflower oil) on a soft cloth (lint free) and rub with the grain. Adding more oil as needed. It completely replaces the need for the store bought expensive stainless steel clean and shine product. An easy "scrubbing" alternative is just plain baking soda or make a paste with baking soda with either liquid castile soap or dish detergent. You could also substitute the baking soda with washing soda. Both work awesome! Thank you for the motivational video!
You inspired me a few videos ago to clean with that solution and im in love! PS- I finally subscribed, i have to watch a minimum of 25 videos on any channel before i commit ;) Im in LOVE with all the food you make Id pay to eat with you guys!
I really like how your toilets come straight down to the floor. Our toilet is an older model and soooo much more effort to clean. When(ever) we remodel the toilet will be the FIRST changed out. Like the idea of cheaper, effective vinegar. I do still use bleach for toilet but saves me a lot of money for everything else. Thanks so much for posting.
+Lee Daniels we have been replacing the toilets in this new home with the energy efficient ones and I really like them. In one of our bathrooms I don't think it gets flushed as much so usually twice a week when I clean I do a couple of squirts of spray bleach to keep it under control. It is only in the one bathroom, a high traffic one :). U do what u can for your needs :).
You are so pretty but so real....like your stories tips for cleaning & cooking. Oh, and Tea Tree is good for warts! Also baking soda along with vinegar (which WILL foam & bubble so watch out) is a good 'gritty' cleaner. Epsom salts & lemon juice works too, for surfaces that don't require 'gentle' cleaner.
Hi I love watching ur videos, if u like to try this home made cleaner,. 1/4 cup of vinegar, 1/4 cup baking soda and 2 tea spoons of dawn. In 2 cups of warm water. Mix good n put it in a spray bottle. I use it and it clean the tub really good. I hope you like it God bless 🤗
This is my secret for cleaning the carpet. Safe and effective. Water, vinegar, any kind of dish soap. Spray bottle. It also cleans the floor. Fill bottle half way then add 1 tblsp. Dish soap, 1/2 cup vinegar fill with water to the top. Shake with the lid on. Counters, toilets, showers, great for mildew remover, spots on the floor. And carpet spots. Works !! Kill bugs too. Another I use is peppermint oil and water. All bugs die . I spray front porch , around base boards. Peppermint oil I buy at Dollar General. Vinegar great for whites instead of bleach.vinegar and baking soda in the drain kills bacteria. It bubbles up good for disposal too. I use comet too for sinks and tubs etc. When I'm not using my vinegar. I just don't like the harsh chemicals anymore. I used to use them and I would love my nose hairs.
That is exactly what I use for my carpet cleaner :). I just add the essential oils for nice smells:). Thanks for adding all of these great ideas! You must be a cat lady, am I correct? A friend just recommended a great natural litter for them..equine horse bedding pellets. It is like $5 for a huge bag at tractor supply store. The poop just sits and you scoop out but the pee gets the pellets wet and they turn into sawdust...if you have one of those double strainer kitty boxes you can easily sift it out. I'll do a video soon. I thought it was a great idea. Smells better too.
Great video...u encourage me in my housework :) I'm wondering if each one of the Miller's books have worksheets or is the worksheet book for them all? I'm interested in them for my kids who are 10 and 12
Do you try not to have white clothes? Just so you don’t have to sort the laundry? What do you do to keep up with dirty laundry🤢, folding 😫 AND putting away 🤕😄?...I’m thinking of just leaving like 5 shirt and 5 pants 3 dresses and so you know what I mean?...What are your tips with with a big family?
+Allin1mom we skip white, it stains easily lol. If we do have them I wash them by hand. If you goto my blog www.plainandnotsoplain.com u can see how we did it before and limited the amount that we had. Under large family management series :)
+Kate O'Grady yes they do. Right now my older boy does mostly "man" chores and I'm training my two younger boys to help gather the small trashcans, fill water bottles, clean up their rooms, but my older boy can clean a bathroom , sweep vacuum or help with dishes if needed. I just usually have enough helpers.
It wears well. We have lots of traffic on it and it's still good. I would replace it in a heart beat if I had the money for wood :). Just easier to clean. I carpet clean each week and it seems to take out all the stains and dirt. Out of all the homes we have lived in. 8 to be exact, this is the nicest wearing carpet :)
amy maryon They eliminate the need for dryer sheets which have a lot of chemicals, and they cut your drying time. I bought mine on Amazon for less than $10 from Pure Homemaker.
I also use vinegar with orange peels. I add rosemary leaves. Even olain vinegar does well. It's funny the area may smell like a pickle barrel but its a natural cleaner verses chemicals and carcinogenic components. And I use crystal wash and on occasion dr bronner with baking soda powder and vinegar for rinse cycle. God bless you! Take good care, sister and rest up!
+Christina Pither yes. They all know how to clean a house. I've rotated so that they know what to do. Right now my 17 year old does mostly "man" chores because I have so many girls able to help inside. He will help if needed:)
amy maryon wow- I’m seventeen and I have had a very rough experience with high school, that’s why I’m asking. homeschooling seems to be easier for kids with high anxiety like me!!
+Caroline Goodhines I'm sure it could help. :). You can do that. Look into the online learning and see if your state has that program. K-12 I think it is called.
Just love your videos, watching how organized and motivated you are really motivates me :)
+Akashanyxx :). Good. We can do this together :) Thank you.
Love using vinegar water to clean and I like using baking soda to clean my stainless steel sink and I like using baking soda to scrub my pitchers to remove tea stains from inside the pitcher
I made your tostados tonight with the ones from Aldi’s. My kids and spouse loved them! New menu addition to our household!
Yay! I find the aldis ones where we live are often smashed so we get them at Walmart
Love the simplicity of your cleaning recipes. Thanks for sharing.
+Meghan Glew your welcome
Is this before the kids are up for the day? Who is watching your kids while you clean? Very inspiring!
+esotericnebula yes :). Before they wake up

The best thing for me to scrub the tub with is dish soap and the scrubby side of the dish sponge.. wipes the grime away with hardly any elbow grease!
You inspired me a few videos ago to clean with that solution and im in love! PS- I finally subscribed, i have to watch a minimum of 25 videos on any channel before i commit ;) Im in LOVE with all the food you make Id pay to eat with you guys!
I love it. I started adding lemongrass to mine and it was good. Makes it smell nice . I am happy you are a subscriber I'll keep sharing :)

Baking baking soda is perfect with vinegar for cleaning the gritty stuff.
Yes it is
Great video...u encourage me in my housework :) I'm wondering if each one of the Miller's books have worksheets or is the worksheet book for them all? I'm interested in them for my kids who are 10 and 12
+Amanda G they only have a work book for the prudence, and I believe one other one. The books are great alone even if you don't get the extra books
Sea salt works great for a natural abrasive cleanse! Goodness, sorry for the overwhelming amount of comments!
No worries. Thanks for responding :)

Ginger is great for laundry
Do you have berber carpet and if so do you like it??
It wears well. We have lots of traffic on it and it's still good. I would replace it in a heart beat if I had the money for wood :). Just easier to clean.

Just found your channel. I am enjoying it immensely! I love using vinegar as well and essential oils. Do you use wool dryer balls? They're great.
+Adriana Torres no I never have. What do they do
amy maryon They eliminate the need for dryer sheets which have a lot of chemicals, and they cut your drying time. I bought mine on Amazon for less than $10 from Pure Homemaker.

And I use crystal wash and on occasion dr bronner with baking soda powder and vinegar for rinse cycle. God bless you! Take good care, sister and rest up!
+Sephardi Shalom thank you
