Sparkling Clean

Tuesday's Tips

by Barbara Latta

Some of us may still be cleaning up after the holidays. I like to do some deep cleaning after putting all the decorations away so I am starting off the year with as much as possible scrubbed clean.

This recipe makes a good all-purpose cleaner for counter tops,cabinets, and sinks.

2 oz Dawn dishwashing liquid, 4 oz lemon juice, 8 oz white vinegar, 2 tsp. baking soda, 10 oz water. Mix well in a clean spray bottle and squeeze out the bubbles. If you don't use a lot, I found I didn't need to rinse, I just wiped with a dry towel. However, you could rinse if you use a heavy dose.
