Episode Description from the Publisher

Your grandmother had four cleaning products. You have 25. In this episode, Kim traces exactly how that happened — and why it matters for your health, your budget, and the air quality in your home. She breaks down the four ingredients that cover 90 percent of household cleaning needs, explains what vintage housekeepers understood about grease, minerals, and bacteria that got lost in 70 years of marketing, and introduces the new 10-post household cleaning series launching on the blog. Special focus on the homemade reusable disinfecting wipes — the post that's already getting significant traffic and the one to start with if you're ready to simplify.Recipes and cleaning posts at thisoldbaker.com | Facebook & Instagram @thisoldbakerHomemade Reusable Disinfecting Wipes — thisoldbaker.com/reusable-disinfecting-wipesKitchen Degreaser Spray — thisoldbaker.com/kitchen-degreaser-spray
