floors with and for cleaning in the bathroom and around the toilet. I
use baking soda and add orange and or lemon plus peppermint to baking
soda. mix it through the baking soda with a mini whisk. it helps to
blend it. Jar it up and have in the kitchen and bathroom ready to use.
It certainly shines and cleans up sinks stove tops hand basins laundry
tubs etc. My kitchen sponges always smell refreshed and I put the
kitchen sponge in the utensil holder of the dishwasher for a really
good hot scolding. I have not bought commercial cleaners for years. I
use vinegar as well for cleaning. Hope this helps. just experiment.
