My Household Cleaner Recipes

Okay, I get asked this a LOT. So, here we go, forever posted on the interwebs, my 2 main cleaning recipes:
.
Furniture Polish
.
2 cups Veggie or Olive Oil
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
.
Combine in a spray bottle and shake before use. We live where it's cold & dry, and with all our woodwork, I have to heep it healthy. This does the trick. My wood sucks it up, and doesn't leave any greasy film. Just spray, wipe, and let dry for 20 minutes.
.
.
Bathe Tub Cleaner
.
1 cup Baking Soda
1/2 cup White Vinegar
Splash of Water
.
I sprinkle the baking soda all over inside the tub, get a textured rag wet, and start scrubbing. Yes, there is some elbow grease involved, but think how great your arms will look! Once the baking soda is paste-like, I sprinkle in the vinegar and let it foam for about 1 minute, and then I start wiping w/ my unrinsed textured cloth again. Buh-bye scum! Rinse with water.
.
.
Happy, healthy, clean house!

Thank you for sharing! I've been using Vinager and Water. This will be an improvement.
