Thrifty Thinking: Cleaning Tips

Make your own cleaning using lemon juice. Use it to remove rust stains from metal outdoor furniture.

You can also use lemon halves dipped in salt to rub the bottom of a copper-bottomed pot.

Make your own varnish remove by mixing 1 c cornstarch with 1/2 c cold water. Then add 1 qt boiling water, 3/4 c washing soda, 1/2 c ammonia, and 1 tbsp vinegar. Apply while hot. Varnish will loosen and then wash off with hot water.
