No problem. Actually, some of them I don’t use every day and I will go look them up (which I have to do when I want to use them anyway). What I do use every day is the essential oil of lemon. I generally use it in the kitchen as it is such a good grease cutter. I just put a couple of drops on my sponge (which I replace weekly) and wipe down the counter tops as I normally would. It leaves a wonderful smell too. I use baking soda to scrub the basins and bathtub. I have somewhere a list of natural cleaning ideas. One of them is for cleaning windows. It is 1 part vinegar, 1 part water and 1 part alcohol. I don’t use it because the fumes are worse than the regular stuff. My favorite brass polish is just a lemon cut in wedges and sprinkled with salt. Rub it over the brass then rinse and dry. You can also make one from equal parts of flour, vinegar and salt. I don’t have any URL’s but hopefully someone else will. Loki

Hi all and Loki, in a message a while ago you mentioned you used (I think) lemon oil (aromatherapy) with water for cleaning. Would you mind giving me abit more detail on this and any other oils / natural methods used for cleaning? or if there is a web site I could look at for this. Thank you very much. I’ve just gotten out of hospital and meant to send this sooner. Cheers
