Make Your Own “Green” Cleaning Products

Getting ready to list your home for sale? Thinking of having your realtor come buy for a home evaluation and want your home to look its best? The first thing you need to do is CLEAN.

More and more families are making the switch to “green” household cleaners- cleaners that are friendly to the environment and to your health.

Air Fresheners and Deodorizers ( Hint- Use these when you have an open house scheduled)

Place cloves, cinnamon sticks, allspice or other favorite scented spice in a pot of water , simmer for 1-2 hours

Put a few slices of leftover orange or lemon rinds in a pot of water, simmer for 1-2 hours

Put baking soda in an open container of your choice. Good for closets, refrigerators and other small enclosed spaces
Light a candle (scented or unscented). The flame from either will “eat-up” odours in the air

Pour vanilla extract ( the real stuff! ) into a shallow dish and set in an out of the way place

Make Your Own Cleaners

Vinegar and Salt. Mix together for a good surface cleaner.

Baking Soda. Dissolve 4 tablespoons baking soda in 1 quart warm water for a general cleaner.

Disinfectants:

Borax is a great disinfectant and also has deodorizing properties. Borax can be found in laundry section of any grocery store.
Mix 1/2 cup Borax into 1 gallon hot water or undiluted vinegar and clean with this solution.
OR
Mix a half-cup of borax with 1 gallon hot water. Add a few sprigs of fresh thyme, rosemary or lavender. Steep for 10 minutes,

Glass Cleaners:
Windows and Mirrors:
Use undiluted vinegar in a spray bottle
OR
Equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle
OR
1/2 lemon juice and 2 cups water in a spray bottle or

No-Streak Glass Cleaner: 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 quart warm water
Mix the ingredients and apply with a sponge or pour into spray bottle and spray on.
Rubbing alcohol is effective in place of glass cleaner.

Toilet Bowl Cleaners:
Baking Soda and Vinegar: Sprinkle baking soda into the bowl, then squirt with vinegar and scour with a toilet brush. Cleans and deodorizes.
2) Borax and Lemon Juice. For removing a stubborn stain, like toilet bowl ring, mix enough borax and lemon juice into a paste cover the ring. Flush toilet to wet the sides, then rub on paste. Let sit for 2 hours and scrub thoroughly.
Denture tablets are an excellent substitute for toilet cleaner. Drop two tablets into the bowl and clean as you would with toilet cleaner.


Porcelain Cleaner:

Cream of Tartar. To clean porcelain surfaces, rub with cream of tartar sprinkled on a damp cloth.

Rust Stain and Hard Water Deposit Remover:
Apply full-strength vinegar or lemon juice and let stand until spot disappears, rinse. Repeat if necessary.

Mildew Remover:
Dissolve half-cup vinegar with half-cup borax in warm water.

Lime Deposits:
White vinegar

Kitchen Cleaners:

Spot-free Dishwasher Rinse:
Add 1 cup of white vinegar to the rinse compartment of your automatic dishwasher. Wash dishes as usual.

Carpet Fresher
4 cups baking soda or cornstarch
35 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
30 drops Lavender essential oil
25 drops Rosewood essential oil
or any combination of your favorite essential oils
Measure 4 cups of baking soda into a bowl, add essential oils. Break up any clumps that form, stir until well mixed. Before vacuuming sprinkle powder from a shaker type can or jar. Let it sit on the carpet for about 15 minutes then vacuum.

Getting Your Home Ready for Sale: Fixing a Snag in Carpet

Got a snag in your looped or Berber carpet? relax- its not as bad as you think!

Here’s how to repair snags in your carpet:
Use a small screwdriver or awl. Get a small bottle of latex carpet glue. It MUST be carpet adhesive.
Put masking tape above and below the snag.
Squeeze glue into the row into the carpet backing from the top. Don’t use too much. Now, “punch” retuff the yarn. You can tell what part of the yarn to punch, because it usually has a nub of latex on the yarn where it was previously inserted into the backing. Punch it in the backing hard to get it secured into the backing and the wet latex. Let it cure for several hours before touching it again.
