CLEAN CHEAP AND GREENER!!!!

HELLO LADIES,

WELL BEEN IN GREENVILLE, SC FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS NOW.   I'M REALLY STARTING TO LIKE IT HERE!  MET LOTS OF GREAT PEOPLE WITH GREAT IDEAS.  RECENTLY I MET THIS LADY FROM GREER, A TOWN NEAR GREENVILLE.  SHE GAVE ME A TOTAL RUN DOWN ON HOW SHE SAVES SO MUCH MONEY AND STAYS GREEN WHEN CLEANING HER HOME.  SO, OF COURSE I WAS ALL EARS.  I CAN SAVE MORE MONEY? YES! AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS...MORE MONEY FOR NEW FALL SHOES! :) SO HERE IT IS!

VINEGAR!!!! YUP VINEGAR CAN BE USED AS AN ALL PURPOSE CLEANER! SO GOOD BYE FANTASTIC AND ALL THAT TOXIC COMMERCIAL CRAP!  GO GET A BIG JUG OF VINEGAR (VERY INEXPENSIVE!) AND A CUTE SPRAY BOTTLE - HELLO! EVEN YOUR CLEANING BOTTLES SHOULD BE FAB! MIX A SOLUTION OF ONE PART WATER TO ONE PART VINEGAR.  THIS GREAT CLEANER ALSO DEODORIZES AND DISINFECTS!  HOWEVER, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL WITH GROUT AND MARBLE SURFACES! VINEGAR IS VERY ACIDIC AND CAN DAMAGE THESE SURFACES.   SO TEST A SMALL AREA.  VINEGAR CLEANSER IS GREAT FOR KITCHEN AND BATHROOM! AND IN ADDITION CAN BE USED AS A FABRIC SOFTENER! YES LADIES GREAT FOR PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN!! YOU ONLY NEED A HALF OF CUP OF VINEGAR ADDED TO THE RINSE CYCLE. 

LEMONS!!! I LOVE LEMONS AND THEY SMELL GREAT!  FIRST THING I LOVE TO USE LEMONS FOR WELL TO DECORATE IN THE KITCHEN.  THEY LOOK GREAT AND KEEP YOUR KITCHEN SMELLING GREAT TOO!  WHEN THEY GET OLD THROW THEM IN YOUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL AND IT WILL FRESHEN IT UP AND CLEAN IT. HALF OF CUP OF LEMON JUICE MIXED WITH 1 CUP OF OLIVE OIL BECOMES FURNITURE POLISH FOR HARDWOOD!  LEMONS WITH BAKING SODA CLEANS DISHES AND STAINS! 

BAKING SODA!! USE IT INSTEAD OF CARPET DEODORIZER.  SPRINKLE ON CARPET, LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES THEN VACUUM.  FRESH AND NON TOXIC CARPET! YOU CAN ALSO USE BAKING SODA TO SCRUB AND CLEAN SURFACES!

CUTE SPRAY BOTTLES CAN BE FOUND IN TARGET, WALMART AND DOLLAR STORES!

AMMONIA!!! NOT SOO GREEN HOWEVER, THIS IS GREAT FOR CLEANING WINDOWS AND GLASS! AGAIN, GET A CUTE SPRAY BOTTLE (AND PLEASE LABEL PROPERLY! YOU WOULDN'T WANT YOUR KIDS TO GET A HOLD OF IT) FILL IT WITH QUART OF WATER AND TWO TABLESPOONS OF AMMONIA.  WOW! HOME MADE WINDEX!  

AMMONIA IS ALSO GREAT FOR YOUR LAUNDRY!!!!! YEAH I KNOW IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT WOULD BE HARSH HOWEVER IT IS GREAT FOR DELICATES AND LEAVES YOU CLOTHES SMELLING FRESH!

USING AMMONIA IN YOUR LAUNDRY INSTRUCTIONS: 

USE A NON-SUDSY AMMONIA

AMMONIA IN YOUR LAUNDRY IS GREAT FOR STAINS THAT ARE ACIDIC LIKE PERSPIRATION, URINE AND GREASE STAINS.  IT ALSO NEUTRALIZES ODOR!  

IN ADDITION, IT DISSOLVES LATEX PAINT ON CLOTHES.  SO IF YOU SPILL PAINT ON YOURSELF NO WORRIES - ADD SOME AMMONIA TO YOUR LAUNDRY!

FOR HEAVILY STAINED OR SMELLY CLOTHES - PRE-SOAK WITH EQUAL PARTS OF AMMONIA TO WATER FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES.  AFTER THIS TIME PERIOD ADD DETERGENT AND 1/2 CUP OF AMMONIA AND WASH.

AMMONIA CAN BE USED FOR YOUR REGULAR LAUNDRY BY JUST ADDING A 1/2 OF CUP WITH DETERGENT.  YOU CAN ADD IT IN ALL TEMPERATURES OF WATER TOO!

WELL THERE YOU GO! SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO STAY FAB ON A BUDGET!
