Home remedies  #1

I came across a sheet with of old home remedies for housecleaning. These “Old Farm Girl” brews did the job that many of the store bought we use today. They are cheap and easy. Here are a few.

A germ fighting spray for around the sink and countertop is made with 1 tablespoon of bleach in a spray bottle of water. Spray on, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

A good floor cleaner that leaves your floor with a shine is a ½ cup of vinegar and a gallon of warm water.

Keep drain pipes clear by pouring ½ cup of baking soda and a ½ cup of vinegar down a clogged drain. Let stand for a few minutes. Follow with hot water. Pouring boiling water down a drain once a week is also a good preventive measure.

Oven cleaning: For cleaning ovens and stove tops, sprinkle with baking soda and mist with water. Let it soak and then wipe it clean. For oven spills, sprinkle salt on them and let them set over night, They will often wipe clean the next day.

Removing spots on stainless steel cutlery can be done with undiluted vinegar or club soda.

The list I have will let me post a few more blogs like this. I like going back to basics like this.
