The one color you’ll see more than any other color in my home is from CIL paints and is called Zeppelin.

I read about this somewhere and I gave it a try.As always with me, it’s totally simple:.

Mix it all together and you’re all set.I also decided to get a little creative with it and added in a few drops of essential oil.I thought I would use something fresh-smelling, but that also has some cleaning/bad stuff-killing properties, so I used tea tree oil.

Some people really hate the smell, but I think it smells nice and fresh.Cinnamon oil would be a good choice too.. Everything got tossed together in a big mason jar and mixed up really well..

The next step is just to sprinkle it over the area you want to clean and leave it on for an hour.. You can also take a cloth and rub it in a bit, but I didn’t.

I just let it do its thing.. After about an hour, everything gets vacuumed up.They’re super functional and cute!

So basically, the design team really knows what they’re doing and we probably should have just left them to it in the first place.The most important thing to me is that this book will be a great, easy resource for anyone wanting to up their cleaning game a little, or who needs a little encouragement to dig their way out of a house that feels like it needs way too much of a time commitment to be cleaned properly, and I think we’re definitely on the right track for that..

I hope you’re finding these little book-writing stories interesting and informative so far!I think I’ll go back in time a little next time I share some of my book-writing adventures with you and talk a little about the actual writing of the book.
