Do you prefer to use green cleaning solutions instead of store-bought cleaners?

Great post Anna!
Would you ever use a steam cleaner on things like a stove top?
Keep up the great work 🙂
Yep! I’ve used a steam cleaner on a stove top and on a range hood, it worked great!!
I bought a steam cleaner pretty recently, and I especially like using it around window frames and sliding door tracks. Blasts the gunk right out of there! I also steamed right where the toilet meets the floor, and well… it wasn’t pretty!
