CLEAN...Naturally

Did you know that non-toxic vinegar is an awesome (and inexpensive) cleaner? 

1. A mixture of 1 teaspoon of liquid detergent and 1 teaspoon of white distilled vinegar in a pint of lukewarm water will remove non-oily stains from carpets. Apply it to the stain with a soft brush or towel and rub gently. Rinse with a towel moistened with clean water and blot dry. Repeat this procedure until the stain is gone. Dry quickly using a fan or hair dryer. This should be done as soon as the stain is discovered.
2. Window cleaning with vinegar will make your windows gleam and will not leave the streaks on the glass. Mix equal parts of white distilled vinegar and warm water. Dry with a soft cloth.
3. Wash painted walls, woodwork and Venetian blinds by using a mixture of 1 cup ammonia, ½ cup white distilled vinegar and ¼ cup baking soda with 1 gallon of warm water. Wipe this solution over walls or blinds with a sponge or cloth and rinse with clear water. Dirt and grime comes off easily and the solution will not dull the painted finish or leave streaks.
4. Remove rings resulting from wet glasses on wood furniture by rubbing with a mixture of equal parts of white distilled vinegar and olive oil. Rub with the grain and polish for the best results.
5. Clean the garbage disposal with vinegar cubes made by filling an ice tray with a mixture of 1 cup of vinegar and enough water to fill the ice tray and then freezing it. Run the mixture through the disposal, and then flush it with cold water for a minute or so.
