Using a Lemon to Clean Your Microwave

Here are a few simple steps to cleaning your microwave with a lemon:

1. Get a lemon and cut into two halves.
2. Squeeze the lemon halves into a micowave container with 300 ml of water.
3. Put the lemon-water solution in the microwave and cook on full power.
4. Use a recycled rag to wipe out the microwave after it is done.

This does work!!!!!!  The grime and crud from inside the microwave will wipe right out.

Mold Killer and Furniture Polish (Green Recipes)

Some of the most specific cleaners, especially those that do the tough jobs, are often very toxic.  I would recommend these two recipes for the following cleaners:

Mold Killer
2 teaspoons tea tree oil
2 cups water


Furniture Polish
1/2 tsp oil, such as olive (or jojoba, a liquid wax)
1/4 cup vinegar or fresh lemon juice

Tip #5 Recycle Cleaning Rags

Use your old cloths as cleaning rags. Shirts, old towels, socks, and other cloths work well. When they get dirty, don't throw away, just wash in the washing machine and let air dry. Remember, reusing is green, and cheaper than buying new rags.

Tip #4 Cleaning Toilets

First, sprinkle baking soda all over your toilet. Second, pour one cup of vinegar into the toilet water. Then, use a scrub brush to clean the toilet. The interaction between the vinegar and baking soda produces a tough cleaning action. This odor is much more pleasant than using bleach based powder cleaning agents.

Tip #3 Window Cleaner

Mix 1 tsp of Laundry Soap, 1 cup of ammonia, and 3 cups of warm water in a bottle to make a great window cleaner. New, clean towels work best. Clean several times to get perfect, or use newspaper to wipe off the solution for a perfect shine.
