New moms, listen up: Keep your kids healthy and happy by regularly cleaning their toys using these nontoxic ideas. Plastic toys can be disinfected and washed on the top rack of your dishwasher. For items that may not be strong enough to withstand the hot temperatures of the dishwasher, you can wipe them down with hydrogen peroxide to kill germs. And for plush toys, placing the toy in the freezer overnight can kill bacteria that may be harboring inside.

Organic produce usually costs more, but it doesn't mean you can't save on pesticide-free fruits and veggies if you just shop differently -- specifically, shop later in the day. Since produce, both conventional and organic, is perishable, supermarkets often mark down prices in the evening hours when foot traffic is slowest. If you time your visits right, you can save up to 75 percent off organic produce.

And the grout in the shower? All the grime and dirt is considerably looser after a hot shower; just scrub and rinse in minutes.
