Homeowners Tip: For most of us on the West Coast, we are experiencing spring weather in February so I thought I would share some “Green” Cleaning tips:
Do you know about these basic cleaning essentials?
- Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) — gritty scrubber, also reacts with acids like lemon and vinegar
- Borax — disinfects, whitens and deodorizes
- White vinegar — disinfects and loosens dirt
- Lemon juice — disinfects, cuts through grease
- Olive oil — picks up dirt, polishes wood (Just don’t use on your wood floor unless the manufacturer recommends it ☺ )
- Castile soap — all-purpose foaming cleaner
- 7 Washing soda (sodium carbonate) — a caustic cleaner, stain remover and laundry supplement
