It's time to plan the spring cleaning of our cottage, and there is so much to do. While I know some hire out this work, I prefer to do my own. I like to make my own non toxic cleaners as well, and while most spots will be easily cleaned from walls, some repainting may be in order in a couple of the rooms. If you are readying your home for spring and like to use "green cleaners," here are a few recipes that I use.
To Remove Grease Spots:
Use:
2 oz. fresh white talcum powder and a new powder puff. Place the powder puff into the powder and gently rub over the grease spot. Continue with additional applications until the spot is completely gone. This is great for the kitchen if you have splatters around the stove wall.
Wall Cleaner With Ammonia:
Use:
1/4 cup washing soda
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup ammonia
1 gallon of warm water
In a bucket add all of the ingredients and mix well. Store in a well sealed container and store in a cool location. This will work well on enamel and surfaces that are painted with a flat oil or water based paint.
To Clean The Baseboards:
Dissolve 1 tbsp. cornstarch in a spray bottle in 2 cups of hot water and 1/4 cup of white vinegar. Mix and spray. This works great!
