5 Old Stand-By Cleaners


These are the way our Grand Parents cleaned things (except for the last one) 8-)

White Vinegar: This cleans, neutralizes odors and can remove soap scum and mineral deposits. Spray it on, scrub it in or soak it on stubborn stains.

Baking Soda: This cleans, deodorizes, and acts as a mild abrasive. You can sprinkle it on  a damp sponge or pour it right from the box, or use it as a paste mixed with water.

Lemon Juice: This bleaches, disinfects, polishes and removes stains. It can be used undiluted or mixed with water. 

Club Soda: The carbonation brings spills to the surface (the salts that are in the soda will prevent staining). Pour it on cloths or carpet as soon as possible, then blot with clean cloth.

Rubbing Alcohol: The alcohol can be used to remove a number of stains and stickers on surfaces.  It will also disinfect surfaces.

You can use old dryer sheets to dust and polish…the can eliminate static cling and odors. I always have to peel them off my socks when I take clothes out of the dryer and I recycle them. 8-)
