SBA Green Team Tip of the Week (2/16/09)

Worried About the Harmful Chemicals in Household Cleaners?
The website www.greenlivingtips.com has compiled a list of ways to replace household cleaners with lemons!

Here are just a few:

*All purpose cleaner -An equal amount of lemon juice and water added to a spray bottle is an effective kitchen and bathroom cleaner

*Microwave -Heat a bowl of water and lemon slices in your microwave for 30 seconds to a minute; then wipe out the oven. Stains will be easier to remove and old food odors neutralized

*Fridge -Half a lemon stored in your fridge will help control and eliminate unpleasant smells

*Glass and mirrors -4 tablespoons of lemon juice mixed with half a gallon of water makes an effective window cleaner

*Degreaser -Straight lemon juice can be used as a general degreaser
