As I mentioned before I have a new lifestyle. A newer healthier, naturally better lifestyle. I stopped using harsh chemicals for about 6 months now. I tucked this article away, and came across it when cleaning out my files. Who better to share this with then my new ARers! Believe me I know you all are not House Cleaners, but I am sure one of things may be helpful in your own home or for a quick fix at a property.

Olive Oil and Lemon Juice to polish furniture. 1 cup OL Oil with 1/2 c lemon juice in to a spray bottle. Shake and spritz on a cloth, wipe on wood furniture, buff and polish dry with a clean cloth.

Lemons- 1 slice of lemon in a dish of hot water, bring to a boil in microwave until it creates steam. The steam will help loosen the grime inside , wipe it clean with a damp sponge.

Baking soda~ Use a small amount  on tough grease stains on stove tops. Works really well on ceramic or glass top. It works a scrubbing agent. Dampen a paper towel and scrub in circular motions until the spots come off. For really tough spots scrub with the baking soda and then add a small amount of vinegar. Let sit for a few mins and it will wipe right off.

Good Cleaning!

Great advice thanks! A while ago a stager put out a fantastic list of environmentally safe cleaners. I printed it off but can't seem to remember where I put it

Elise - I've been using baking soda for years to clean my kitchen.  I'm going to have to try your olive oil and lemon furniture polish, though.  Thanks.
