Tonya here… The end of the year is almost upon us. This is a time when a lot of people make resolutions for the coming year and finish off to-do lists before the year ends. If home organization is on your list, then I’m here to help. Thank you to Force of Nature for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.
Prepare your home for winter with this free printable checklist and discover a new non-toxic way of cleaning your home so you can remove harmful chemicals.
As we move from season-to-season we tend to purge unused items, clean out garages and closets, and re-organize based on the season we are moving into. I need to get better about purging, I tend to be a bit of a collector because I love to re-purpose items, but I do love preparing for each season and keep checklists of things that need to be done so I don’t forget anything. I’m going to share my winter checklist down below, but first I want to talk about cleaning your home and removing harmful chemicals.
So, if one of your resolutions (or something on your to-do list) has been to remove chemicals from your household and switch to non-toxic family-friendly cleaning products, then I’ve got a great one for you from Force of Nature.
Plus, we are giving away three starter kits, and you can save $35 off your first starter kit too.
Force of Nature is a non-toxic cleaner and deodorizer that is as effective as bleach but is so safe you can spray it on pacifiers, teethers, and baby toys without needing to rinse them. It cleans as effectively as Clorox Clean-Up, Windex, Formula 409, Scrubbing Bubbles and Resolve with zero toxic chemicals and is so safe your kids can help you clean.
This product isn’t like most cleaners though…
You fill up a bottle with tap water, then squeeze in a pre-mixed capsule of salt, water & vinegar. Then Force of Nature uses electricity to transform the solution into a cleaner & deodorizer that’s called electrolyzed water, which is a common green cleaner used in the industrial space. The active ingredient is hypochlorous acid, which is common in wound healing, eye care and veterinary care products because it’s so safe & effective.
You can read more about the science behind this here. It is also 100% allergen free and can save you more than $70 per year compared to other natural brands.
Here are some great features of this unit:
- you can store extra activator capsules on the back of the activator base
- if you leave the activator base turned on after the solution has finished processing it will keep a 14-day countdown on so you know when you need to make more.

Now that we’ve got your cleaning products replaced with non-toxic cleaners, and saving you money too, let’s get you organized for winter too.

My shower is the hardest
The master bathroom is the hardest to clean & keep clean.
Hands down it is the bathroom- the shower and toilet, to be more specific. I can’t ever seem to stay on top of it when it comes to the grime and dirt.
The bathtub – I HATE it. It’s porous and I can’t seem to get it completely clean.
The shower is absolutely the worse part of my cleaning routine.
I love cleaning!
For me, the hardest part of my house to clean is the bathroom!
Dishes are the hardest. It’s uncomfortable for my back. Putting away laundry too. That’s a self discipline issue
Can I say the entire house? Between a husband, two teenage boys, and 2 dogs, it never appears to be clean. Thank you
Definitely would be the bathroom.
I hate cleaning the shower!
The bathroom. Just not my favorite.
Wow, never saw this before.
The bathrooms are the hardest to clean and to keep cleaned.
I find c;leaning the bathroom, especially the shower area, the hardest.

It would have to be my kitchen. I have arthritis and its tough for me to scrub the sink, counters, fridge and microwave. Probably the bathroom too.
I’d say the bathrooms are the grossest (boys!) but the kitchen is always a major disaster when my husband cooks.
I fine the kitchen the hardest to clean shew all those dishes when you have a dish washer but still wash by hand.

My hardwood floors are hard to keep clean!
Always the bathrooms. They never feel clean enough.

I find cleaning the bathroom is the most difficult. It is a small space and the scents with cleaning supplies are so toxic, that breathing becomes a problem. I would love a tool that is less toxic, and that still cleans .
the kitchen is the hardest for me… with 7 people , it gets so gnarly so fast.
Kitchen
The shower is the hardest to keep clean and I hate cleaning it.
The bathroom but just really the shower 😕

I’m going to say the family car. It’s an extension of our home and gets a lot of miles with family of six.
Our tub and shower is the hardest for me to clean, along with the hard surface floors.
I hate hate hate cleaning our stone shower. I always stays sort of wet so I have to scrub it out as least once every two weeks. I use bleach which is a killer!! Would love to give this a shot and its looks futuristic lol
