Opps!

I was obviously a little tired and a little medicated (back pain again, but I'm trying not to think about it) last night when I blogged the Clean Freak Recipes. I made a pretty big mistake in the ratios for the Regular Laundry Detergent. That has now been fixed but I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that using 1 part soap to one part of the other mixture would work...it would just make A LOT of bubbles! It would make a killer pre-treatment...but I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use.

Thanks everyone! Have a Happy Monday!

Clean Freak Recipes!

What is Clean Freak? And how does it belong on a cooking blog?

Clean Freak is the eco-friendly cleaning powder I created to use in my own home. It worked so well I started making it for a few friends and eventually added it to my Etsy shop. And after a long break the shop is once again open and stocked so I thought I would share some of the recipes I have made using the Clean Freak as a base. I'm very happy to say that Clean Freak has replaced most of the commercial cleaners we used to purchase.
