July 21, 2007 | Kitchen, Cleaning products
My poor house. It’s become the staging ground for Broom Huggers, and the testing site for cleaning products. It comes easily to us, what with 2 toddlers. But today, for the sake of science, I smeared fresh cherries all over my white laminate counter tops. And then (start ominous music) let it dry. (As an aside: I’ve always wanted to change out my laminate counters for hard surface… ah, the thought of granite… but the laminate has proven quite useful when it comes to testing products. So much for kitchen upgrades.)
Anyhow, wanna know what my experiment found? Natural cleaning products work just as well as their chemical-laden counterparts! There will be more details to come this week, naming names and what not. But I just have to tell you. I tried 3 different chemical-free cleaners - and all of them wiped up dried cherry juice without any scrubbing. So to the nay-sayers out there who claim that natural cleaners require loads of elbow grease, I say don’t knock it ’till you’ve tried it!
Mom, if you’re reading, no countertops were harmed in the performing of this experiment.

Whoohoo! And then you made cherry cobbler…right? I’ll be right over. Seriously - I am SO glad to hear this. I’m obviously hungry, and more concerned about the cherries who gave their life for science, but I love it when the underdog wins!

Yeah,D, the thought crossed my mind to make a cherry pie… You know, home made crust with butter I churned myself… Okay, so that’s me in another life. But I did think about doing a cherry pie (with store-bought refrigerated crust). Then I thought about all the time I’d spend pitting my cherries. That cured me.

Hi there,
You said that you have a laminate surface - have you ever considered getting stone worktop installed.
They ar much more durable!
