Spring cleaning is just around the corner and what better way to do it than with "green" products. Below are some ways you can eliminate harsh chemicals while cleaning get your home in perfect shape for guests or real estate showings.
Glass and Mirrors
The windows in your home can be effectively cleaned with 4 tablespoons of lemon juice mixed with a half gallon of water OR try 1/4 cup vinegar with 1 quart of water. Instead of paper towels, try using a lint free rag or old cotton T-shirt instead.
Furniture Polishing
One very effective wood polish is 2 parts olive oil with 1 part lemon juice. Apply it to your furniture using a soft cloth. The combination gives your wood furniture a nice smell and a sparkling shine.
Cleaning Bare Floors
Your basic vinegar and water solution is really the perfect choice for cleaning most types of bare floors in your home. Mix 1 cup vinegar with 1-gallon warm water and mop it onto ceramic tile, linoleum, vinyl, or wood floor. There is no need to rinse afterward saving both time and water.
