5 Steps or Less!

I have decided to feature a new weekly additon to my blog:

5 Steps or Less!


I am all about finding quick and easy ways to do things. Wit my full life, I just need ways to get things done fast and easy. I by no means claim to have a perfect house or flawless ways of doing things, but I try to find some cool shortcuts to make life easier so I have more time for the important things!

Here's my first one
Easy Micowave Cleaning:
1. Pour half white vinegar/half water in a micorwave safe bowl
2. Place bowl in microwave for 2 minutes, and wait one minute
3. Open micorwave, use a cloth to wipe clean (the vinegar and water loosens anything that may be in your microwave, and is all natural- no chemicals! Plus it deodorizes.)
4. Dip cloth in warm vinegar and water solution to shine outisde of mircowave and any other kitchen surfaces.

P.S.- Lemon juice can be substituted for the vinegar.

I'll keep that in mind for my microwave--what a great idea! I use vinegar and water (plus a few drops of lemongrass oil) to clean just about everything anyway.

I'm looking forward to more easy tips--I love simplifying things. Gives me more time to...relax? Spend time with Philip? Read? All of the above? :)

Yes Ma'am! The power of white vinegar is amazing - I use it in almost every cleaning solution in my house.

Cheap, healthy and effective - win-win-win!

My easy way to clean: don't look. If I can't see it, it must be clean. :o)
