Homemade multisurface with lilacs
We have a great passion for lilacs and are very fortunate to have many, many of them in our yard.We created our own ready-to-use multi-surface cleaner with a lilac aroma. Because we're falling for this flower. You will need freshly cut lilac, a mason jar, 500ml of distilled water (preferably), a drop of your favorite ultra-concentrated multi-use product, I like to add a little baking soda (1/2 teaspoon). I'm going to use this product mainly for the exterior and my pets' messes so I'm pimping my recipe with baking soda, I have the impression that it removes dirt a little more. The steps are simple, I put multipurpose and brush with a little water to dissolve the 2 ingredients. I fill the mason jar with my purple lilac and then fill it to the brim with water. I let it sit for 48 hours (24 hours is not enough) and then pour it into my beautiful Pure bottle. So there you go, spray, scrub and repeat. Keep your bottle away from light and heat for longer storage. For my part, the smell remained in some variation for 1 to 2 weeks. A great way to make the lilac season last longer.

How to clean a very dirty fireplace glass?
We love to make small fires to warm up and relax. In order to make the most cute moment, it is recommended to wash your fireplace glass twice. (to be honest, we do not do it every twice, so don't put you to much pressure, it's a recommandation) We love scouring cream to perform this task. It easily dislodges the soot that has accumulated in the window. Here our mother's trick :We wash the entire first layer using newspaper.Then, if you need it, we use our terry cloth with the multisurface to make the window shine. Your moment in front of the fire will be all more satisfying with a clean glass. 🔥

How do I clean my hairbrush properly?
The hairbrush is often in contact with the bottom of the head and it is better to keep this accessory clean. We would not want to create new bacteria in the back of our head. Brush maintenance can also keep our hair clean and shiny for longer. To wash your hair accessories thoroughly, we recommend a mild soap such as our dishwashing liquid since it is super degreasing. In a bowl of hot water it only takes a drop to see a lot of foam. Leave to soak for a few minutes and then allow the accessories to air dry.
