Natural disinfectants from household items

Household items like White Vinegar and baking soda are effective disinfectants and much safer to use than the commercial varieties loaded with toxic chemicals. They are also much cheaper. Here are a few examples of their use: 

White Vinegar:

* Use equal parts White Vinegar and water and wash down walls and 

counter tops.  Also effective on interiors such as refrigerators and drawers.

* An excellent window cleaner.

* Clean a coffeemaker by filling the reservoir with a mixture of White

Vinegar and water, Run it through a brewing cycle and follow with

several cycles of water to rinse thoroughly.

* Use ½ teaspoon of White Vinegar in place of 1 teaspoon of lemon

juice in savory recipes.

* Cover rusted tools with White Vinegar and soak for 24 hours. The next

day scrape clean with Brillo. (My late husband swore by this.)

* To kill weeds between cracks in paving stones and sidewalks fill a spray

bottle with straight White Vinegar and spray multiple times on them. 

Baking Soda:

* Erase crayon, pencil and ink from painted surfaces by sprinkling

Baking soda on a damp sponge. Rub clean and rinse.

* Unclog a drain. Pour ½ cup of baking soda down the drain. Then

slowly pour ½ cup of White Vinegar after it. Let sit for 5 minutes,

(covered if possible). Follow with a gallon of boiling water.

* If you have marble countertops stick to warm water and baking soda 
to safely disinfect without harming the surface. 

* Settle a stomach during occasional indigestion. Stir ½ teaspoon

baking soda into a1/2 cup of water and drink. (Safer and much less

expensive than otc antacids.

* If you find you are out of toothpaste don't panic. Just dip your tooth

brush in water, sprinkle on baking soda and you're all set.
