My husband cannot tolerate cleaners with clorox or strong perfumes.

1. Bathtub cleaner.

Recipe

2 cups baking soda

2 tsp liquid dish soap

2 tsp vinegar

Add a small amount of water, just enough to make a soft paste.

Directions: Use a sponge to apply the paste to the walls of your ceramic or fiberglass bathtub. Leave the paste on overnight. Rinse it off, and dirt is gone!

2. Hardwood Floor Cleaner/Polish -

1 gallon hot water

1/2 cup olive oil

1/3 cup lemon juice

Mix ingredients in a large pail. Use a squeegy mop, squeezing out as much liquid as possible before mopping wood floor. Let dry.
