Scrubbing away

I'm a great believer in scrubbing your cares away. After and extremely busy week of firefighting, it was home to clean the house. I even try to save money when I do that. The floors have been swept and washed in hot water, a squirt of soap and vinegar to take any grease off the floor.

 The sinks have been cleaned with bicarbonate of soda and lemon juice. They are sparkling and smell wonderful.

We make our own furniture polish from olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice. It keeps but don't make too much or the lemon juice loses its fragrance. I wipe the woodwork and then use the home made polish once every three weeks. I know polish is cheap, but the eco versions, which I prefer are not, that's unless you make your own.

 I clean the cooker and fridge with bicarbonate of soda and hot water. Last weekend, on her way here, Foster Mummy made crocheted a cotton dish cloth for me and it cleans everything so really well.

The windows have been washed in warm soapy and then buffed with screwed up newspaper. Now after all that exertion, I'm off to bed.
