LOW TOX LIFE TIP: in the kitchen
I’m smack in the middle of preparations to downsize and move again so a good time to look at the basic essentials for daily household care without the chemical warfare on our bodies , so thought I’d share what I use presently
Replace your dishwasher rinse aid with this chemical free alternative
Mix 1tbs citric acid with 1/4 cup boiling water , whisk to dissolve, cool then pour into sq**rt bottle (yes I kept my old rinse aid bottle ) , add 10 drops of lemon or orange (actually any citrus) essential oil and shake
This recipe helps clean & degrease well.
Citric acid helps to break down hard water, balances pH levels, and encourages soap in dishwasher detergent to work better. It is great for disinfecting, descaling and helps to kill bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Give it a try and let me know what your results are!
