Greener Cleaners - A few miscellaneous ideas

Here are a few miscellaneous ideas! Lemon juice, the first idea, when used as a grease cutter works great! It's acidic enough to get the job done!

And paint brush cleaner - yet another great use of vinegar! This stuff is good for just about everything!

Grease Cutters:
1) Use lemon juice, vinegar, or sprinkle with borax and scrub with scrub brush.
2) 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil-based liquid soap, 3 tbsp. vinegar, and 2 cups hot water. Mix in spray bottle, spray and scrub, wipe clean.

Paint Brushes:
Soften hard paintbrushes in hot vinegar for a few minutes. Then wash paintbrush in soap and warm water and let dry.

Rust Remover:
1) To remove rust from tin-ware, rub with a peeled potato dipped in a mild abrasive such as baking soda or salt.
2) Aluminum Foil. Briskly scrub rust spots on car bumpers with a piece of crumpled aluminum foil, shiny side up.

As always, please comment if you have anything to add, or any questions!
