Some "natural" cleaning remedies

We use a lot of Seventh Gen cleaning products (all purpose cleaner, bathroom cleaner, toilet cleaner), but I also like to use some other natural cleaners as well. Thought I'd share what I have found works well.

Stainless steel-
- Olive oil - not good
- Straight Vinegar- not good
- Mixture of baking soda, 7thGen dish soap & water (makes a paste)- Works GREAT on stainless steel and really makes it shine.

Porcelain Sinks
- straight baking soda- Works great

Wood furniture, tables, beds etc
- Olive oil - works great and leaves a nice shine (I have an olive oil sprayer for cooking so I just use that for cleaning too)

Glass & Windows
- 1/2 Vinegar 1/2 water - (the obvious one) - works great

Tile Floors
- 1/2 HOT water & 1/2 vinegar - works great - Mop with this solution and then mop over again with just water. Kind of a pain with the 2nd step but it looks great afterwards

Clogged drain
- 1/2 cup baking soda down drain followed by 1/2 cup vinegar -- I'm actually trying this one today... I'll let you know how it works
