How to clean a Smelly Toilet!

Sometimes our toilets can get very smelly,
even if we clean it regularly. sometimes its just hard to get that bad smell to go away.

This smell comes from under the toilet seat, so no general clean is going to get it. it comes from build up getting underneath, yes such as pee. If you have a young boy in the house you know its got to be bad.

On most toilets you can just unscrew the toilet lid from under neath.



What To Do:
  1. Take toilet lid off
  2. Put lid in hot water & Disinfectant, let it soak
  3. Mix Bicarb Soda & Lemon Juice tell it makes a paste. (The lemon juice acts as a disinfectant)
  4. Put mix onto areas that need to be cleaned and around the bottom base of the toilet. you want to just slop it on there don't scrub. (if you have extra put it on the floor around toilet.)
  5. let paste sit for 10 min
  6. Spray Paste with a little Vinegar
  7. Let sit another 5 min
  8. Wipe Paste off and give Toilet a good wipe down
  9. Clean & Dry off Lid and Place back.

Its a good Idea to do this every 3 months but if you have a little boy (or even a messy man) do it once every month

Help Stop The Spreading of Germs!

It's That Time Again! Cold & Flu Time!

Have you seen a child cough or sneeze and not cover there mouth, and the end up coughing or sneezing all over the other children. yes gross and this is one of the big ways are little once get sick. 

If germs aren't kept under control it can become a never-ending battle once Colds & Flu's enter the household.

This is why its very Important for us to Teach are children early on how to cough properly, it's a benefit to themselves and those around them, especially when it comes to becoming sick at Daycare or school. 

But what is the proper way to cover are mouth?

My mom always taught me and her Daycare Children to cover our mouths with our elbow's and not with our hands.

I as well taught the children in my Childcare to do the same. As we don't use this area to open doors, touch the phone, TV remotes etc... so this helps to stop the spreading of germs to others around us.

Yes this will not make it so you never get sick, but it defiantly will help.

So why not start teaching you children, and even yourself to 
do this.

This product is a big help when it come to teaching children.

My Hubby and I Save all are change. When ever we empty our pockets the change goes in to the jar. Same for when I Clean out my Purse and when we Clean are cars out once a week we put all the change found into the jar. If I find money under the sofa or when doing the wash I put it in the jar.

We let the Money jar fill up and once full we use it for a Special treat like Trips, Fancy Dinners anything. 

After emptying the jar hubby and I deiced what we will use it for next time and wright that on a peace of paper and put it in the jar sometimes if we can't deiced we will put more then one idea in it and then do the old draw out of a hat trick.
