clean, deodorize, and so much more,
using things from your household...
Enjoy your visit...
BAKING
SODA:
Baking soda is a great cleaner because
dirt and grease stains usually contain fatty acids, which are neutralized by
the baking soda.
The neutralized acids break up and can be dissolved in water or just wiped away!
To absorb refrigerator odors,
set an open box inside the unit. To absorb carpet odors, sprinkle on carpet and vacuum. To remove
grease from greasy carpet stains, blot up as much of the grease as you can
and sprinkle baking soda on what's left of the spot. Wait about an hour
for the oil to be absorbed, then vacuum it up. For red wine stains on carpet, rub in, let dry and vacuum. For cleaning sinks, toilets, oven and shower curtains, mix with
water to for paste. For collar stains, add vinegar to form paste, apply before washing. For bathroom tiles, mix with non-chlorine to form paste, apply with
brush, let dry,
wipe with clean cloth.
