I have just cleaned my kitchen entirely with vinegar solution and some bicarb for the first time and its sparkling! I think i will be definately using natural cleaners from now on :)

:wine: It's surprising how effective it is. Lemon juice is fab too, great for the bathroom.

Louise do you dilute the lemon juice with water or use it neat?

Hubby even commented on the kitchen today (i had a bit of a spring clean and moved things around too) and i was quite smug when i told him id used vinegar and bicarb as he is a bit dismissive of my "hippy ways"!

It depends what you're using it for.

Lemon juice on its own can be used as a degreaser

I dilute it with water 50/50 for cleaning the bathroom and kitchen.

You can add a few drops to the vinegar solution too so it smells a bit better.

To clean the microwave put a bowl of water and lemon slices in for 30 seconds. Then wipe clean.

Mix lemon juice and bicarb into a paste and rub brass/chrome/copper to clean it.

2 parts olive oil to 1 part lemon juice can be used as furniture polish.
