I definitely need to deep clean my entire apartment (with my roommates help of course) before my nephews come to stay for a night. What kind of carpet cleaning products are you using that make it smell like oranges? I would love it if my apartment smelled like that.

I really like the more natural methods of cleaning. They leave a better scent or no scent just the look of clean. It’s also safer for those of us that have younger children around the house and pets that can get into harsh chemicals.

Vinegar is the best common household substance with which to clean your carpet. For example, to clean up a urine spot, soak up as much of it as you can, then douse the area with the same amount of vinegar as there was urine. Let it set for an hour, then come back and soak it up. The acid in the vinegar is just the right concentration to neutralize the base in the urine. You may smell vinegar for a day afterward, but it is better than smelling pee for the rest of the year.

Thanks for the cleaning info as well as the KSCA coverage! KSCA holds a lot of promise in terms of regulatory chemical safety, but I believe that the science responsible for this safety should be revisited and reformed as well. Current animal models are, simply put, highly imperfect and out of date. Improperly tested chemicals are just as dangerous as those not tested. A report was recently produced, “Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and Strategy,” that specifically addresses the dangers of these archaic models with a clear-cut plan for updating tests, thus ensuring true safety for friends, family, and future generations (animals too!). This is a perfect time to usher in a revolutionary change not only to the regulatory legislation itself, but to the science that supports and enforces the legislation, by including language enforcing the vision of the National Research Council to improve the safety of us and our children though more proper and modern chemical toxicity tests.

Hi,
Glad to stumble your article...You could spend the rest of the night with a can of carpet spray-foam cleaner scrubbing away the stain and arguing over which one of you spilled the bottle. However, if you've ever tried to clean a stain from carpet, you know that often times the spot you are cleaning creates a dirty ring larger than the original spill. So, then you bring in the harsh chemical cleaners, and after exposing yourself to cancer causing carcinogens that don't work, you face the prospect of replacing the entire carpet. At this point, somebody is probably sleeping on the couch.

Great article. I’d edit your counter down to just your cookie jar, canisters and tray on a stand. Give yourself the gift of space as well as clean. Thanks for the kitty litter info. It’s an issue at my house too.

Jennconspiracy — the pumice stone is not for cleaning the entire toilet. Just the really difficult mineral stains. I’m sure they used a brush or cloth for the rest of it. And yes, it was an actual stone. They showed it to me.

Hey thanks for the guilt trip, Beth. I like the part where you HIRE someone else to deep clean. I’ll have to check around Orange County and see if I can find someone like that.
