Bleach is a good thing, in SMALL quantities. My mom used to use cups and cups of it. 1/3 of a cup is great for a super sized load of whites/linens. I too vacuum the mattress and pillows. I steam it once a month to kill off those dust mites. In the winter I will haul it off to the deck for 6 hours to freeze them once a month.

since switching to less chemicals to keep my place clean, not only is it cleaner, but I have less headaches.

pet peeve is the girl who comes to church SMOTHERED in perfume and smelling like a wet ashtray under neath that. it just blisters my brain! I cant think, i cant function, I get off balance, and tend to feel out of body.

The owner of the cleaning company we use is always followed by a toxic green cloud of perfume everytime she comes over. It's really horrible. I dont see how people think dumping a gallon of stinky perfume is going to make them smell that much better.

At least the girl she's been sending us lately has agreed to not wear any perfumes while she's cleaning our house.
