Around
the house
- Keep your carpet smelling fresh and clean with baking soda
- just sprinkle the soda liberally over the entire carpet
and let it sit for an hour. Then vacuum it up.
- For a sweeter smelling house, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice
into the dust-bag of your vacuum cleaner before you start
it up.
- You can use mayonnaise to remove crayon marks from wood furniture.
Just let it sit for ten minutes and then rub with a soft cloth.
- Vinegar is an inexpensive and effective cleaning agent and it
has many practical uses:
- To remove white water deposits from your pots and pans, simply
pour white vinegar into the pot and boil for 15 minutes.
- Cleaning your dishwasher is child's play if you run an empty
cycle with white vinegar.
- White vinegar can also remove stains and odours of pets from
the carpet.
- When you are painting, just add a few drops of vanilla essence
to the paint when mixing. This will remove the unpleasant
smell and still won't affect the colour.
- To keep the toilet bowl sparkling, mix equal parts of baking
soda and borax; add white vinegar and use this mixture as a cleaning
fluid.
