Cleaning Your Refrigerator Coils

Happy Tuesday!!

If you follow us on Facebook, you might have saw that we were painting our living room and kitchen. This was a impromptu weekend project! I love the way it looks now. I'll post some pictures for you soon!

While we were moving things around, I noticed the back of my fridge was GROSS! There was so much dust!

I vacuumed the covering and used my favorite natural all purpose cleaner. I let it dry thoroughly while we finished painting the kitchen and living room.

{Isn't my screwdriver too cute?!}

When I got the covering off, I discovered MORE DUST! I honestly didn't know the fridge coils got so dusty!

Gross!

Then I vacuumed all the dust off the coils. I eventually had to get out the thinnest hose attachment to get further in the back.

Here's the after!

The covering looks a lot better too.

I know it's not perfect but it's soo much better! My fridge started working better immediately and that makes me happy!! I'm adding this to my cleaning schedule to do every few months.

Do you clean your refrigerator coils on a regular basis? Can you tell a difference with the cooling of your fridge?

Thanks for stopping by!

How I Naturally Clean My Dishwaher

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to share a quick post with you.

My dishwasher had some pretty bad stains on it from the detergent I was using. This was before I switched to an all natural dishwasher concentrate. Now I use Shaklee's dishwasher detergent. It's better for my family and it saves us money!!

I had some Scour Off on hand and knew this would get the stains off.

It's made from cherry pits and it smells sooo good!



It definitely got the stains off! I love this stuff soo much and use it for everything!

Do you get stains on your dishwasher from detergents?

How do you get them off?

I hope you have an awesome weekend!!



How I Organized My Kitchen Junk Drawer

We do mostly everything in the kitchen: study, read, hang out, pay bills, and of course, eat! Being in there so much, things tend to pile up.  I only have one drawer that I can designate to being our "junk drawer". Oh, the joys of living in a 2/1! :)

Anyways, I finally got fed up with all the junk in there (I had a hard time opening it) so I decided it was time to do some tossing and organizing!



I got these organizers at Office Max and they were pretty cheap. I really wanted all white but as long as they all match, I guess it'll do.

I got three different sizes to be able to fit everything I need in a basket.

This is my drawer before. Horrible, I know. I'm pretty really embarassed.

I took all this junk out, piece by piece, and tossed ANYTHING I didn't need. I'm becoming a minimunlist and I hate stuff just laying around that serves no purpose!

A few things in there didn't belong in the kitchen so off to the office they went!

I already have liners in all my drawers, so I just vaccumed the liner and put my baskets in.

I put the binder in first (it holds all our bills and important documents) and made the baskets fit around it.

In the lower baskets, one holds my calculator, post its, and my little pocket calendar. The other one holds extra envelopes, stamps, checkbooks, and return address labels. The middle basket is for pens, pencils, markers, highlights, etc. In the higher baskets, one is for keys and the other is for batteries!

After all that, I still had the perfect little spot for my label maker!

I felt so much better after I tossed anything I didn't need! I think it looks so much better and hopefully it'll stay this way for a while!

Do you have that one kitchen drawer that's always a mess?! What do you do to keep everything in its place?
