Chemical-Free Cleaning To Prepare For A New Baby

My sister is 9 months pregnant with my sweet baby nephew and just about ready to pop! I'm staying with her to help with a little cleaning, cooking, and baby snuggling while she adjusts to this new chapter of life, and I honestly couldn't be more excited about it! We have started to tackle the cleaning room by room, so I have been searching for ways to make everything sparkle without loading the house down with chemicals. We have a new baby coming, after all!

I started small with the microwave and came up with the simplest, chemical-free solution to get that microwave squeaky clean!


All you need is a lemon, a microwave-safe glass bowl, a splash of white vinegar, and ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges. These sponges scrub kitchens and bathrooms without any scratching! I picked everything up at my local Target and got to work. 

This whole process will take you 5 minutes. Slice your lemon and set aside.


Fill your glass bowl with warm water and add a splash of white vinegar. Gently place the lemon slices on top and set in the microwave!


Heat for 2-5 minutes, depending on how dirty your microwave is. Her microwave was fairly clean, so 2 minutes was perfect for us. Remove the glass bowl and grab your ocelo No-Scratch Sponge. Start wiping down the microwave and watch any food residue or grime disappear with ease!


I really liked using the ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges and will be using them to tackle the rest of the kitchen and bathrooms as well. From August 14-20, the entire cleaning department has a deal where it will be buy $50 worth of cleaning product, get a $15 Target gift card! There is also an online coupon to save $0.50 off one ocelo Scrub Sponge Multi-pack that you can get here


Stop by your local Target today to pick up everything you need to get that house squeaky-clean!

  2. That's so interesting, I'll have to try it sometime! I ended up registering for a microwave food cover so I wouldn't have to clean the microwave all the time. I hate cleaning the microwave! Hope you are having a fantastic time in Texas!!!

  5. I love cleaning with lemon and vinegar. I haven't used the vinegar in my water in the microwave before, but I bet it cuts through the grime even better! #client
