by Sarah Flowers

Overview

Clean everything in your home from your clothes and sheets to your shower curtain, vents—even the inside of your washing machine—with this simple short-cuts using all-natural cleaning products.

Did you know you should be cleaning your sponge on a weekly basis by putting it in the microwave for just 90 seconds? Or that you could use a rubber glove to clean up pet hair instead of a lint brush? Or that wax paper can be used to make your faucets and sink fixtures shine instead of a chemical polish?

Take control of your cleaning to-do list with these easy, natural cleaning methods. With this book, you’ll learn to:

—Use vinegar to clean out a washing machine that’s starting to smell
—Mix lemon juice and salt to really clean out the cracks in your cutting board where food can get stuck
—Rub chalk onto a greasy stain to help absorb extra oils before washing

And much more!
