Lemons Can Save Time and Money on House Cleaning

Lemons are one of the most acidic substances that can be equalized with a little baby oil to make a cheaper cleaner than most of those lemon cleaners. It simply takes one medium sized lemon and a full regular size bottle of baby oil.

First you will need an empty clean bowl to dump the baby oil in. Next, you will take a lemon and slice it lengthwise down the middle and then keep on cutting each half of the result into lengthwise portions until you have lemon slices that are able to squeeze by hand.

Take your time to squeeze the lemons one by one into the baby oil and stir with a wooden spoon until the color and consistency is even. Squeeze each and every lemon piece until they are all gone. Stir after all the juice is gone out of each lemon piece.

After all the stirring and squeezing is done take a funnel and put the new concentration into the baby oil bottle the baby oil came from. Remove the baby oil seal and either leave it blank or label it baby oil / lemon solution for cleaning. You could even just simply label it "For Cleaning".

Take a dry rag and clean counter tops and wood that has already been dusted and cleaned with it. This will make a clean shine and be careful not to saturate the rag for residue. The rag should be somewhat dry and the oil should run smoothly with no dirt or grime underneath. Leave a good shine but no grease behind.

For a clean and fresh smell leave some lemons in the refrigerator to squirt very moderately in each room. Be careful not to let the juice to be enough to hit products in the room or any furniture or appliances. One small squirt in the air will do for each room of the house that the lemon and baby oil concentration is used in.

House cleaning can be expensive and some people do not clean their house enough due to the expense or spend way too much money using products over again. Lemons and baby oil will lessen the cost and lessen the cleaning. Simply use the system once a week and just wipe the furniture down every day. It is simple and fun to burn a few candles after cleaning for relaxation and a job well done. Do not over do the solution or use too often. Do not leave a residue by using too much or adding more on a day where you can just simply wipe down with a dry clean rag and make cleaning easy. Easy cleaning is made for an easier household and happy at home times.
