Mom softens and deodorizes towels by sprinkling them with baking soda before washing them as usual.
Chantel also adds a powerful mix of baking soda, citric acid, essential oil, and hydrogen peroxide to make homemade “cleaning bombs.”
The bombs brighten sinks and freshen toilets, with the added benefit of cleaning and deodorizing drains when they begin to leak.
Her next tip involves mixing equal parts white vinegar and dish soap on a dish brush, which she then uses on all bathroom surfaces to achieve a shiny finish.
