How’s everyone doing? I got my refrigerator cleaned out; when Fritz opened the door, he threatened to wear his sunglasses! He did get some great dinners though. We also washed all our bedding including the mattress pad (I should have vacuumed the mattress but didn’t, sigh).

In case you are interested in natural cleaning products and don’t want to go to the store again, you can find some information about how to make them online.  At the very least, you can fill a spray bottle with 2 Tablespoons of bleach to 1 quart of water and use that to clean your counters after you have brought in food from the store. You may want to rinse the counters after applying the solution.

Another very important part of this challenge is finding treasures to pass on to family/friends OR give to Susan Dodson to sell for the church. If we can find even a couple of donations each, think of the fabulous work OUUC can do with the proceeds! You can check out eSale Giving for more information or just email Susan Dodson with a list of donation ideas. She’ll let you know which items she can sell on eBay and arrange to pick them up from you. Okay, who’s up for the challenge – SPRING CLEAN!!
