So admit it: We’ve all been rather shut-in during this last year of disruption to our normal lives. Well, Spring is here, and it reminds us of revival and reawakening. It’s time to do some Spring cleaning. Why not dust off the cobwebs and bring back that shine to your home? But rather than noxious compounds, think about using natural cleansers that don’t release toxic chemicals into your home. Try using products you are likely to have in your kitchen instead of those harsh cleaning cleansers.
Dawn and vinegar work wonders together in this extra smudge-cutting and cleaning mixture. Mix – in a spray bottle – 1/4 cup of white vinegar with 2 ½ cups of water, plus 1/2 teaspoon of Dawn dish detergent. Rinse your windows and mirrors with clean water, afterward, to clear off the remaining cleaning solution.
Mix 1 tablespoon of Dawn dish soap in a 5-gallon bucket of warm water. Wet a sponge in the bucket and wipe down the iron. Use a nylon scrubber (be careful not to rub too hard, it may create unwanted scratches on certain finishes) to remove stubborn dirt, or stuck on spills such as bird droppings. Remove soap with a clean damp lint-free towel. Dry the iron immediately with lint-free towels. Make sure that you dry all crevices and creases. If your iron has dirt stuck in the crevices, use a toothbrush or a small bottle brush with warm water. Add a drop of detergent & scrub until clean. Rinse brush if it becomes too dirty and repeat. Do not hose down your iron to clean it, as this will create unneeded wear and potential future issues.
