Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Tip # 2


Use lemons as a bleach alternative - Put away that soft-scrub, and bring on the lemons!

Do your countertops or cutting boards ever get stained? To get rid of the stain, all you need to do is let lemon juice set on the stain for a few minutes, then add your trusty baking soda to the mess and scrub the area clean. It smells better than that nasty stuff under your sink, and you don’t have to Mr. Yuck sticker any of the ingredients!

The same can be done on white clothes – just put the lemon juice on the stains and let the sun dry the clothes. Viola -stains are bleached away!

Happy cleaning!

I'll believe it when I see it. Doesn't the lemon juice leave a yellowish stain?

I've never used lemon juice on clothes, but it doesn't stain counters or cutting boards.
