Happy Spring, and Cleaning Green

Spring is here, which means so are the birds and budding plants. It’s time to go for a walk, plant some seeds, read a good book outside, open the windows and let in a breeze, and….it’s also time for some spring cleaning.

So, here is a quick recipe for a green clean (for those so inclined):

General Cleaner:

½ cup vinegar

¼ cup baking soda

1/8 cup lemon juice

2.5 liters water

White Vinegar – is a natural deodorizer and just acidic enough to eat through dirt, grease and soup residue.

Baking Soda – also a deodorizer, mildly abrasive and softens water

Lemon Juice – removes rust, shines aluminum, cuts grease, and smells wonderful

There are many easy variations on cleaning with just these three ingredients, all are wonderfully toxic free, inexpensive, and healthy for your home. Happy Spring everyone : )
