A friend of mine shared hers with me so... i thought i would pass them along!

Creamy Peppermint Soft Scrubber
1 cup baking soda
1/4 cup Borax laundry booster
1 TBS Castille soap
5-10 drops peppermint essential oil (use less if pregnant)
1/4 cup water

Combine all ingredients in medium sized glass jar (I use a middle *sized recycled mayo jar). Fasten lid and shake very well. Pour onto *surfaces to be cleaned (formica, tile, porcelain, granite, etc.) or *onto washrag and watch grime and residue disappear with very little scrubbing *effort! Rinse well with the hottest water you can stand - no need to polish *fixtures since they will shine so nicely after this natural cleansing.


Olive-Citrus Dusting Polish * *
1 Tablespoon olive oil *
1?4 cup lemon juice or vinegar (lemon juice is much more fragrant) *
2-4 drops tangerine or sweet orange essential oil * *

Pour all ingredients into clean, recycled glass jar. *Attach lid and gently swirl to *blend ingredients. *Dip soft cloth into mixture and polish to an old fashioned, *healthy luster. *This is also excellent for keeping wood in high quality shape as *well as re-nourishing neglected or old wood. *


Microwave Cleaner

1/4 c. baking soda
1 tsp vinegar
5-6 drops thyme, lemongrass, or lemon essential oil

Combine all ingredients and make a paste. *Apply to the inside of the microwave using a soft cloth or sponge. *Rinse well and leave the microwave door open to air dry for 25 minutes
