Clean Your Sink

The first trimester (and beyond) has been pretty rough with these twins.  It's worse than the first two pregnancies I've had.  I've had a big gag reflex this time.  Just one little thing and there it is.  One day I was brushing my teeth, which funny enough made me gag too, and I dropped my toothbrush in the sink.  I looked in the sink.  YUCK.  My sink was so dirty from the lack of care - because when you're in the first trimester there's just no energy left to clean.  I threw my toothbrush away.  I couldn't handle the thought of my toothbrush touching that sink.  I just can't stand that film that builds up on the bathroom sink after a while.  It's so disgusting especially because I'm pregnant now.  Looking into that sink is just like make-me-gag-now.  I think it's also because I use a lot of coconut oil products.  And somehow it gets stuck in my sink?  Or maybe it's the toothpaste? Or Soap?  Probably all of those.  Anyway, it always needs a good cleaning - and I always wait too long.  I knew I waited long enough, I had to clean it.  But of course, I waited as long as I possibly could until I knew someone was coming to my house.   

That's when I had a brilliant idea.  I used a spray bottle,  mixed my Thieves household cleaner in as usual with water but this time I added baking soda.  (If you aren't familiar with Thieves household cleaner, it is a concentrated all natural cleaner that you dilute in a spray bottle.  There are instructions on how to dilute on the back of the bottle as well as usage suggestions.)

It worked perfectly.  All I had to do was spray it into the sink and scrub it out with a wash cloth.  I barely had to scrub, too, it was more of a wipe it out kinda thing.  It was hands down the best natural thing I've used to clean my sink.  Plus the Thieves household cleaner smell is my favorite. 

Recipe 

In about a 24oz container filled almost all the way full with water - add..

• two capfuls of Thieves Household Cleaner
• 1/4 cup of baking soda 

The only problem was that the spray bottle clogged a little with baking soda.  So now the only mission is that I need to find something that can handle the baking soda with the cleaner.  And I think I've got a pump dispenser that used to have some body wash in it that is going to work perfect.  But you can also mix it together and pour it in to the sink as needed.  Which is exactly what I am doing until I've used the last of the soap from the body wash and can transfer the baking soda sink cleaner over.   I just dump it in the sink or wash cloth straight from the spray bottle.  So pick out your favorite way to store the cleaner.  No matter how you store it, it works!!
