Absorb “nature’s” odors the safe way!

Use 20 drops fo EO per 8 oz of vinegar.

Pour into fine mist spray bottle and use whenever odors “arise.”

Always shake before using.  Please note:  this solution is meant to absorb odors and not mask them.  Spray and leave the room.  (quickly, if necessary!)

Easy and Economical – clean with vinegar and baking soda:

Vinegar:

• Prevent bright colored clothes from fading:  Before putting in machine, soak in white vinegar for 10 minutes
• Clean the toilet bowl:  Pour in 1 cup of white vinegar and let stand for 5 minutes and flush.
• Prevent soapy film on glassware:  Place a cup of white vinegar on the bottom rack of your dishwasher and run for full cycle.  Repeat once a month to reduce soap scum in the dishwasher.

Baking Soda:

• Remove tarnish from silver:  Make a thick paste of baking soda with water, apply to silver with damp sponge.  Rub, rinse and buff dry.
• Boost strength of liquid laundry detergent:  Add 1/2 cup of baking soda with usual amount of detergent in your regular wash cycle.
• Remove burnt on food from cookware:  Dampen area, sprinkle with baking soda, let soak overnight.  Then scrub, rinse and dry.
