Olive Oil For Home Care

Unsticking a zipper: Ever gone to take off your boots, only to discover that the zipper is stuck? Free yourself by dabbing a bit of olive oil onto the zipper’s teeth to help it slide along smoothly. Remember: a little oil goes a long way.

Revitalize wood furniture: Whip up a mixture that’s 2 parts olive oil to 1 part lemon juice. Put a small amount of oil on a soft cloth, and wipe down your wood furniture. It will keep the wood from drying out and help hide small nicks and scratches.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Cleaning: Mix 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with 1 cup water. You can use this concoction to clean microwaves, bathroom tiles, kitchen surfaces, windows, glasses and mirrors. This mixture also works as a disinfectant.

                                                       What You Need:

• 1 cup Dawn Dish Soap
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 empty spray bottle

Here’s How To:
• Put the vinegar in the microwave for 1 minute.
• Add the Dawn soap to the spray bottle.
• Add the hot vinegar to the spray bottle too.
• Close the lid tightly, and lightly shake it to get it all mixed together.
Cleaning Your Grout:
• Note:  Don’t use too much of the solution, or you will be wiping it off of your floors for days!  Remember, a little goes a looooong way here!
• Lightly spray the solution onto your grout (you don’t need to cover the tiles, just get it in the grout).
• Let it sit for a few minutes.
• Using a brush of some kind (I use an old toothbrush), give it a scrub.  You won’t have to scrub too hard or for very long, because this cleaning solution just lifts up all the dirt – it’s amazing!
• Wipe off the cleaning solution with a wet cloth, then wash your floors well with plain hot water to get rid of any soap residue.

Things to Note:
• Like I mentioned before, don’t use too much of this solution!!  Or your floors will have a soapy residue left on them!
• I realize that this method likely isn’t practical for large tiled areas!  I use it in my bathroom and mud room, so the size of the rooms are manageable.
• You can use this solution in your shower or tub too!  Just spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub off.  It’s the best.  I always have a bottle made up and ready to go.
Also, please note:  you DO NOT need to heat the mixture every time you use it.  Just when you are making your original batch – this is just to make sure that the soap and the vinegar mix together thoroughly!
