Natural Houshold Cleanser

Despite your worries about harsh chemicals, the house still needs to be cleaned. Make an all-purpose cleanser from a mixture of vinegar and salt. For a less-pungent alternative, dissolve four tablespoons of baking soda in a quart of warm water. Or you could always try the husband or kids-as-housekeeper route, but we have a pretty good idea of how that's gonna work out.

Report Abuse 		I have a real issue with the last sentence in this piece: "Or you could always try the husband-as-housekeeper route, but we have a pretty good idea of how that's gonna work out." Sorry to inform you, but all dads are NOT deadbeats. I know you already know that, but when you put stuff like that in an article, it makes you sound like a man-hater. Not only do I gladly help out around the house now that WE'RE pregnant, I did it before WE were pregnant. I am very sorry - I have enjoyed so much of what is on this site, but I just don't like the tone of this erroneous blanket statement.
