HOW TO RID YOUR CARPET FROM ODORS, NON-TOXIC
Well, I love my carpet but the dog of my friend unfortunately does too… There is a non-toxic way to get rid of any kind of smell from your (flokatti) carpet.
Baking soda
Sprinkle a good amount of baking soda evenly over the carpet. With the shut off vacume cleaner rub it into the carpet. Let sit for at least 1 hour up to one day. Then vacume clean as usual.

Life hack of the day:
FRUIT-NET POT SCRUBBER
Don’t through away those nets in which fruits are sold. Keep them and use them to scrub your dirty pots! Ever thought of that? 😉
LIFE HACK OF THE SEASON:
Don’t you also always have a hard time with these loose plastic-wrap or baking sheet rolls? I can’t stand it when I have to fight with these annoying unpractical rolls.
Here is an easy ways to stop the rolls from falling out of the box and still let the sheets come out easily:
With a knife punch a hole into the middle of each side of the box and press it downward to form a little flap into the wrapping roll.
Done!!
It’s the time of year when wasps are starting to go crazy. If you still want to sit outside without them bothering you use this simple and non-toxic incense a very good friend of mine shared with me.
NON-TOXIC WASP REPELLENT
1 cup
4 Tbsp coffee powder
1 small piece of burning wood or coal
Put coffee in an old cup and place burning piece of wood or coal on top. This will start to produce smoke for a few minutes and keeps away the wasps for a few hours.
My CITRUS-VINEGAR CLEANER is done!! :o)
Citrus is a great degreaser and vinegar is a powerful cleaning agent, breaking down mold, grease, limestone and bacteria. This is why I combined them to make this great eco-friendly cleaner! It is 100% natural, inexpensive, it works really great and you can use the rind of citrus fruits, which you would have thrown away .
6 oranges (or 12 lemons)
1.5 l white vinegar (Tafelessig)
Squeeze Oranges and use the juice otherwise. (Lots of good vitamin C for you!!:o)) Put the orange rind into a 2 l jar. Pour vinegar over the orange rind and close jar. Let sit for 2 weeks. Remove orange rind from the jar and strain orange vinegar.
Use orange vinegar 1:1 diluted with water to clean the kitchen, bathroom, floors and more!
The oranges completely neutralize the vinegar scent. It smells good!
No need for all these aggressive and polluting chemicals! :o)
