Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great week, and your just as happy as I am that the weekend is here! I am currently 30 weeks pregnant (that went by fast!) and I wanted to share with you a simple home made shower cleaner that I used just a few days ago.
I have to admit, every time I have been pregnant I would always get nervous about cleaning our tub/shower, which would lead me to asking my husband to do it...
My reasoning behind not wanting to clean it myself was the harsh chemicals that would literally take my breath away while cleaning. Being pregnant made me think a lot more about how these chemical cleaners would affect my growing baby....and also how bad was it for my husband or for myself to use these cleaners? Well heres the solution!
Thats right! 3 simple ingredients that are natural and make an awesome cleaning product for your shower/tub and its even great for cleaning your toilet!
Baking Soda + Young Living Thieves Essential Oil + White Vinegar
Thats it!

Thieves Essential Oil
Thieves was created from research about four thieves during the 15th-century plague who used cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics to protect themselves while robbing plague victims. Thieves is a proprietary blend of pure essential oils tested at Weber State University, Ogden, Utah, and found to have a 99.96 percent effective rate against airborne bacteria.

Ok thats it for our small history lesson! This oil is pretty amazing and since it has clove, and cinnamon bark along with lemon, eucalyptus, and rosemary cineol, it left my bathroom smelling like Christmas and I didn't even notice a vinegar smell once I finished cleaning. I was so happy to clean my bathtub with barely any effort AND no harsh chemicals!
I hope you enjoy using this wonderful cleaning product as much as I did!
How to Make Your Own Super Shower Cleaner knockout:
Ingredients:
2 Cups White Vinegar
1 Cup Baking Soda
10 Drops of Thieves Essential Oil
Combine the vinegar and Thieves Essential Oil in a large spray bottle (or you can improvise like I did and use a large soda bottle with a hole poked in the lid!)
Slowly add Baking Soda to Vinegar/Oil mixture (while feeling like a child again!) Wait for bubbling to subside before adding more.
Give it a good shake to mix ingredients and continue shaking while spraying down your whole tub/shower (to make sure oil stays well distributed)
Let sit 10 minutes then lightly scrub away with a sponge or scrub brush. When finished rinse with clean water.
Now enjoy staring at your sparkling clean shower that smells amazing!
