In our first home, we didn’t have a dishwasher.  Let’s be clear: I hated washing dishes by hand.  So much so that I made a deal with Justin- if he would clean the dishes up after meals, he’d never have to touch the laundry.  For the most part, we kept that going until we sold that place.  When we found our current home, I was so excited to see a dishwasher.  And a laundry room.  Our first home didn’t have a dedicated laundry room either- just a washer and dryer in a little nook in the hall.  Whew, what fun that was!  Not.

I’ve gotten use to scrubbing dishes now and after changing dirty diapers all day, it’s almost a welcome task.  Almost.  I definitely prefer to simply load the dishwasher and let it do the work, but we own several pots and pans that are just easier to hand wash.

Seventh Generation recently introduced a natural dish liquid line. There are four scents available: Free & Clear, Lavender Floral & Mint, Fresh Citrus & Ginger, and Lemongrass & Clementine Zest.  Seventh Generation dish liquid contains only essential oils and botanical extracts.

In a spray bottle, I mixed up water, vinegar, and a few drops of the Fresh Citrus & Ginger soap to use as my kitchen cleaner.  It’s worked very well so far and I’ve used it on everything from the counters and dining table to the appliances.  I love that I’m using less chemicals and it smells fresh and clean!
