From the kitchen to the bathroom and beyond, find the surprising talents of a few common items around the house

❦baking soda

Adding 1/2 cup of baking soda to laundry can boost your detergents cleaning abilities, and sponges soaked in baking soda and hot water sill stay fresher longer. Diluting 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda for every cup of water also make a gentle, natural rinse for fruits and veggies

❦salt

Soap is out of the question for cast iron, but a little salt will give it a deep clean. Simply heat a bit pf oil over medium heat in a cast-iron skillet, then sprinkle in three tablespoons of salt. Hold a paper towel with tongs to scour clean; rinse with water and coat with vegetable oil to cure.

❦vinegar

You can get rid of calcium deposits from faucets by using a cloth soaked in vinegar, wrap tightly. Let sit fir a few hours or overnight. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

❦coffee filters

For cleaning, use coffee filters with your favorite glass cleaner on windows and mirrors for a sparkling shine.

❦ dryer sheets

In the bathroom you can use a wet dryer sheet to remove soap scum.  Use it like a sponge to speed up cleaning.  They can also save time in the kitchen with the anti-static properties the weaken the bond between burnt or baked on food and cookware. Just submerge one in a dirty pan filled with warm water and let stand for 30 minutes or overnight to reduce the need for heavy scrubbing.

 ❦ pillowcases

Before you toss a pillowcase in the wash, use one to make cleaning ceiling fans mess-free. Slip a pillowcase over the panels and lightly close the open end around the panel to make sure you clean the top and bottom in one swipe.  Then pull the pillowcase toward the end of the panel.  When you have finished, take the pillowcase outside, tun wrong side out to shake away the dust.

Bragg's Apple Cider Review

You have read about my ideas on vinegar for household cleaning alternatives, now I have a twist, for "health". It is a great drink to give you a pick-me-up and can be taken 3 times a day, in the morning, first thing, mid-morning and in the mid-afternoon.  All you need it 1 to 2 tsp of vinegar in 8 oz of water (I heat mine) and 1 to 2 tsp honey to taste. You can use molasses or 4 drops of Stevia to taste.  

The idea is to make it as organic and natural, so no chemicals here. 

I use organic honey to sweeten.

I sometimes forget the uses for vinegar, but when I came down with a sinus infection 

a few days ago,  I knew I needed the cleansing and healing abilities for my 

system and always fall back to the natural alternatives. 

I don't like being sick, so I am all for getting over this as quickly! 

P.S. Makes a great vinaigrette dressing!

Now while apple cider vinegar could be used, the difference is, Bragg's vinegar starts
with organically grown apples, and contains the amazing 'mother" of vinegar which occurs naturally  as connected strand-like chains of protein enzyme molecules and is highly regarded throughout history. And Bragg's has been in business since "1912".

Bragg's vinegar can be found in the organic department of grocery stores or at health food stores in many sizes. There is also a book that you can order, which I found on their website for more ideas and ways that vinegar can be used in our diets and other testimonials.

I was not paid or compensated for my review of this product, it was a result of my own health use that I wanted to share with my readers.
