place towel down; put the article of clothing down on the towel with wax part up; then, place paper towel over the wax; run iron on the paper towel. the wax will melt and stick to the paper towel....

Non Toxic Oven Cleaning Using Easy Ingredients

Ingredients

Dawn Dish Soap- 3-4 drops

4 T of Baking Soda

5 T of Vinegar

Juice of a lime or lemon

Highly Technical Instructions

 

1.) When you are pouring the vinegar on the baking powder, GO Slow, otherwise, you will get a bit of science experiment mess.

2.) Slather on the paste into the oven. Get all sides (including your window)

3.) As Ron Popiel would say “SET IT AND FORGET IT”- Let is soak in for a few hours

4.) Using a sponge, scrub where some of the deep scorches/messes exist

5.) Using a kitchen washcloth, wipe out until all cleanser is gone.

Done.

 

That easy.

I’m so glad I used homemade instead of toxic nightmare products.

 

Go forth and clean  your oven. Your turkey will thank you.

have stinky drains!

Take a few minutes to freshen drains (not unclog them) and keep them free-flowing with an homemade vinegar solution. This is especially good for seldom-used sinks and showers, like in a guest bathroom.

1. Mix 1/2 cup baking soda with 1/4 cup table salt. 

2. Pour the mixture down the drain, followed by 1 cup heated vinegar. It will foam and bubble.

3. Let it stand for 15 minutes (longer does not work any better). 

 

4. Follow by running hot tap water for at least 15 to 30 seconds.
