Clean and Deodorize Your Kitchen Sink with this Garbage Disposal Cleaner

Clean and Deodorize Your Kitchen Sink with this Garbage Disposal Cleaner

It doesn’t take much to create odors from your sink. In my home I tend to have bad odors after a fridge clean out when I am disposing of older, expiring sauces and food and after a grill clean when I have cleaned the grates in my sink. I have done a few hacks like adding lemon or lime and dumping baking soda into my sink as I run my garbage disposal. Now, the easiest way to clean my garbage disposal is by dropping in a capsule of the Arm & Hammer Garbage Disposal Cleaner with baking soda.

I can save my box of baking soda for refrigerator freshness and baking and store these citrus fresh capsules under the sink for weekly clean up or as needed for a fresher smelling sink. The ingredients include enough powerful ingredients to take care of all the grime and odors that go down your sink. All ingredients have an odor-fighting job such as for grease and fats or waxes. They are components of either natural limonene or essential oils that work to deodorize your kitchen sink.

How to use Arm & Hammer Garbage Disposal Cleaner

  1. Run disposal and (hot) water for 1 minute
  2. Turn off disposal and slow water flow down
  3. Drop a capsule into the sink and turn on the garbage disposal for 15 seconds
  4. Turn off and you are left with a fresh scent!

You can use these as needed and up to twice a week for an ongoing clean and deodorized garbage disposal. The hot water and clean power will dissolve the capsule so no worries about clogging when used as directed. Arm & Hammer Garbage Disposal Cleaner is easy to use and leaves a fresh scent. Find these on Amazon!

The Polished Jar has modern, customizable jars for your soaps and cleansers

The Polished Jar has modern, customizable jars for your soaps and cleansers

About every year (hence, Spring Cleaning time), I begin to feel like certain rooms need a revamp. Sometimes a room needs a fresh coat of paint or a closet clean out. Other rooms may just need some new decor. You can spend very little and make changes that seem small and simple and really make a room look better and refreshed such as with customizable jars. Brands like The Polished Jar can be the exact change your spaces need.

kitchen soaps

In my kitchen I redid my coffee area with a cute black and white coffee jar I found a few months back at Home Goods. Recently, I simply changed my dish and hand soap set up at the sink. It seems small, but it took this spot on my counter and gave it a modern update. The Polished Jar lets you choose and customize labels and jar colors and pumps.

Polished Jar Kitchen

For my kitchen I chose the Luxe collection for the label design with 1 white bottle with brass pump and 1 black bottle with black matte pump for dish soap and hand wash. Then I have The Polished Jar White Ceramic Tray to keep them on so that dish soap does not end up on the counter.

The Polished Jar for Home

I loved the idea of this simple change to my counters that I knew I wanted to make a similar change to the guest bath that is right off of my kitchen. I replaced the shampoo, conditioner and body wash store bottles with The Polished Jar Luxe Collection (same as the kitchen design) in black jars with copper pumps to all look cohesive in that shower.

Bathroom shower

This guest bath of ours has a shower that no one ever uses. My guest bedroom is upstairs so if anyone stays over they use the full bath up there, so this is more of a stage for decorative shower soaps to see when someone needs to use the restroom when just over for dinner. What a difference! With free shipping at The Polished Jar US orders, it makes ordering these reasonably priced customizable jars so fantastic for yourself or as a gift.

The pumps work great! They just seem like great quality and of all of my jars, each pump works great right away. They have so many label designs to choose from to match your home style. You can even add monograms to some designs. Visit The Polished Jar to make these small updates to your spaces.

Noot is the secret sauce that keeps my plants alive and thriving

Noot is the secret sauce that keeps my plants alive and thriving.

This front garden bed of mine, ugh! It has been a chore finding the right recipe that keeps my plants alive and thriving. I am not the most plant knowledgable, but the way the builders left this hodgepodge of a bed when we bought the house was too unorganized. My front bed lacks color and I have tried to ‘guess’ my way into the right set up, but then I am left with a mess or just brown and dark green 3 of the 4 seasons. I am finally soliciting my sister to help me design the garden as she has come to love gardening so she can now help me.

Noot mix

She gave me some tasks to do before we shop. I am moving some plants around and even transplanting a boxwood we feel won’t work here in the end, but I love the health of it so I want to keep it. I am adding a few English Daisies for some spring color as I wait for summer plants to be available to buy and plant. To do this, I am using the trusty Noot, where every watering offers no-fuss organic fertilizing that fuels long lasting, natural growth. Noot keeps my plants alive and thriving.

Noot food

Whether planting or transplanting, the nutrients you give your plants to root and thrive in their new locations matters the most. I have old soil on top of clay/rocks, so I have had to add more layers of better soil and really make sure I am giving them the best feed.

plant food

Noot nourishes plants with 18 powerful organic ingredients combined with beneficial bacteria. Noot makes caring for plants easy with monthly delivery and comes in 3 varieties – Noot Mix (standard for all plants), Husky Mix (for root health) and Rescue Mix (for damaged/strained plants). To use, just pour it on the soil and Noot converts ordinary water into a complex nutritional and microbial solution that every plant craves.

feeding plants

With the Noot plan 7 gallons of feeding fits within 2 glass tubes for under $20. Choose how much you need delivered from 3.5 gallons to 300 gallons worth of plant food. Noot Works with most houseplants: tropicals, succulents, ferns, palms, cactus, bonsai, calathea, orchids, anthuriums, monsteras, aroids, and even kitchen herbs. Simply, mix 1 tsp of Noot every 1/2 gallon of water. No PH-ing needed. Learn more at Grow with Noot!

Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfecting Wipes for a Cleaner Home

Thank you to Arm & Hammer for providing these wipes to me. I am proud to be an Ambassador to this brand.

Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfecting Wipes for a Cleaner Home

I am cleaning and disinfecting more this year than in previous years and it is important that the cleaning products I use are safe for my pets and family. I do not like using harsh chemicals, it really is unnecessary when so many natural products are proven to clean as effectively, if not better! I quickly went from shopping any ‘ole cleaner that was on sale, to making sure I choose pure ingredients only so I don’t leave extra harm behind after I clean. Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfecting Wipes are what I am using right now.

Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfecting Wipes

Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfecting Wipes do not contain harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia or Quats! This is because they use Citrus Based Disinfection – it is pure and simple and cleans effectively. These wipes are safe on any spaces near pets and kids such as food surfaces (although wiping down food surfaces with purified water to finish is always recommended no matter the cleaning products used).

I can even ring the excess moisture form a wipe and use it on electronics. Remotes, phones and screens get touched the most in my home and by the dirtiest of hands, so using a cleaning wipe that kills 99.9% of Viruses1 & Bacteria on these products is fantastic!

Arm & Hammer

I have used these wipes in my bathroom, kitchen, home gym equipment and electronics and I am never left with any residue. It dries quickly so you can just wipe and move on. They smell great and come in these tall, narrow containers for easy storage.

Look for these Arm & Hammer Essentials Disinfecting Wipes at most major retailers. Make sure that when you clean, you find pure and simple ingredients and no-mess options to save you time.
