[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 652038, member: 17461"] Tilex? For mildew, right? What does anyone use for cleaning tile floors? I do windows with a solution of rubbing alcohol, a drop of Dawn, and water. If we are doing big picture windows, I clean the windows with a sponge mop dipped in the alcohol solution and squeegee it off. Using that sponge mop works beautifully, and I am done in half the time. No streaks. I keep a spray bottle of that same solution to polish granite, kitchen appliances, mirrors, and faucets. So, it would be 1/3 bottle rubbing alcohol, 1 drop of Dawn, and say four cups of water. Keeping many unlit scented candles around (or, in the closet, one of those big scented candles) scents the house without that overwhelming air-freshener odor an air freshener gives. Another thing to do if you need to freshen the air or just want to create your own scent for the house is to simmer cinnamon and vanilla. The only other thing I know about managing the overwhelmingness of a home is to take it seriously (because if we don't, the house will collapse into chaos) and to do one extra job every day. I learned that from Flylady. If it is a big job, set a timer for fifteen minutes and stop when it goes off until the next day. Pick a day of the week to do sheets. That way, you won't forget. I am going to try Tilex on my tile floors. Cedar And we aren't even talking laundry, yet. Ew. [/QUOTE]
