Lemon & Vinegar/ Two things I will never ever go without

bellybellybuttons

I am almost amazed at the cleaning power of these two wonderful natural liquids.

Today, I was able to get the worst rust stains off my bathtub with just lemon juice, who would have thought! DH changed our salt for one week to the regular, now we are back to the rust remover type. He better not do that again or he will get to clean up the mess.

Vinegar, it's good for your health and cleaning. I am so glad to be able to use this rather than the nasty chemicals available, and it's works better. IMHO

Oh and both can double for use in cooking/canning lol3

who would have thought. OMG I wish more people would realize that natural cleaners are the best.

I used a vinegar/water/TTO and EO (often lemon but lavender actually works the same with anti-fungal properies) in a sprayer bottle. Isn't it great to be able to use something that isn't harmful to our families! And it works better than those stinky chemicals!

I have a natural marble chalk base compound that I use for polishing and getting the extra hard to clean stuff sparkling. It too is awesome!

I also have a handheld Shark steamer that I use to clean. Nothing beats cleaning with just water Smile

I have a shark steamer too, but I use that mainly for fabric like the mattresses and sofa. I love vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils. My faves are lemon, orange, grapefruit, rosemary, peppermint, lavender, and TTO.

I love my shark steamer too however, vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda are my favorite cleaning agents!

I JUST switched to using mainly vinegar for my cleaning (I still use The Works for my toilet) and I am loving the results!!

Vinegar, water and sweet orange essential oil will take the white off rice, no joke!

I was very skeptical at first but am amazed at how well vinegar and water clean. Bonus: my five year old can help and we don't have to worry about chemical fumes or touching her skin!
