Spring Cleaning – Naturally

5 THINGS IN YOUR HOUSE you should be cleaning with*:
1) Lemons (a natural anti-bacterial/disinfectant, great to clean chopping blocks, also lemon juice during laundry rinse cycle brightens whites)
2) Vinegar (bathroom cleaner, including grout -let set, then use toothbrush)
3) Salt (swish around inside a dirty vase and using as scrub removes caked on gook from stove tops)
4) Baking Soda **(refrigerator odor absorber is also great for sprinkling in laundry, and for toilets-add a cup, let it sit for an hour, flush.***)

**my grandfather’s favorite denture cleaner
***Also, a teaspoon of baking soda in a vase makes cut flowers last longer, but I learned that from a gardener, not my grandma.
