Getting Fall Ready: Clean with me.

“‘…as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.’” (Joshua 24:15)

Every August I do a deep-clean before putting up my fall decor. One of my favorite traditions to get motivated for my big fall cleaning routine is treating myself to the Mrs. Meyer’s Apple Cider cleaning set. The Apple cider scent puts me in a good mood while I get my house squeaky clean!

This year I became a mom and am making an extra effort to use more natural and eco-friendly  cleaning products. I was so excited to finally try out the Grove Collaborative, I got my Mrs. Meyers Set for free and picked up a bunch of sustainable household products.

The rest of the year I clean my house with my homemade vinegar and lemon peel cleaning spray. I  gave birth during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and was pleasantly surprised when the janitor at my hospital’s maternity ward cleaned my room using vinegar!

My Grove Collaborative Fall Haul

1. Perfect Postnatal Multivitamin, New Chapter - As a new mom I definitely needed an energy boost big time while caring for my baby and home. I was still taking my prenatals which are better suited for baby than me. I and am so glad Grove offers New Chapter’s Perfect Postnatal Multivitamin for Energy, Mood, and Lactation Support. It includes vital iron, calcium, B-12, probiotics and other key nutrients for breastfeeding mamas. 
2. Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day, Apple Cider Cleaning Set - Natural plant derived cleaning products. Soap, Hand Soap, and  Multi-Surface spray.
   
3. Ceramic Sink Tray, Grove - A neat way to organize my kitchen sink and store my Mrs. Meyers seasonal set. 
4. Walnut and Cellulose Dish Sponge, Grove - These dish sponges are biodegradable and made of 100% renewable natural plant material!
5. Stasher, Plastic-Free Food Storage Bags - Reusable, freezer safe and microwave safe food storage bags. Stasher  bags are made of food-grade silicone and replace the need for plastic ziplock bags and all the plastic waste that they produce. These bags are really sturdy, easy to clean and use. Best of all they don’t emit harmful chemicals when heated in the microwave like plastic bags do. My ziplock bags were constantly leaking and would expose my family and me to harmful chemicals when microwaved. I am sooooo happy I finally have my Stasher bags. Btw, Stasher is a female owned company!
   
6. Grove Glass Spray Bottle and Cleaner Concentrate - This product is a game changer and will reduce tons of plastic waste. The glass bottle is beautiful and the bottom has a protective silicone sleeve. You just add water and non-toxic concentrate to a reusable spray bottle and you are ready to clean.
   
7. Compact Mop and Broom Kit, Grove - One of the most convenient products ever. It takes up practically no space when not in use since it’s collapsible! I love that it’s made from recycled materials and includes a reusable microfiber pad. It’s so easy to clean my floors now: snap on broom head, sweep, spritz vinegar on my floors to sanitize them, and change from broom to mop-head! When I’m done just pop the mop in the wash and colapse the whole thing, and store it under the sink! It provides the convinience of a Swiffer Sweeper without the waste. 
8. Sink Stopper, Full Circle - This sink stopper is made of recycled plastic.
9. Fancy Cleaning Gloves, Grove - I decided to go all out and buy fancy kitchen gloves. These are fully lined on the inside, they slip right on and are so soft! They are also slip resistant to keep a good grip on soapy dishes. They are made of natural latex.
   
10. Mrs. Meyer’s Tub Tile Cleaner - I just started using this and it quickly removes soap scum and leaves my bathroom fixtures looking like new.
