Favorite home-made cleaner recipes

[star04]

I just want to see how you clean your house with home-made cleaners (made w/ vinegar, etc.). Also is there anything you use for pet stains or iron/rust stains?

I would highly recommend "The Naturally Clean Home". I borrowed it from the library, and here is what is says about rust.

For rust:

1/4 c. baking soda
5 drops essential oil of choice
juice of half a lemon

Sprinkle baking soda directly on the rust stain. Add EO and sprinkle with lemon juice. Allow the mixture to sit on the stain undisturbed for several hours or overnight. Wipe away baking soda and rinse well.

I tried it and it worked pretty well. A little tiny amt. of rest left but hardly visible.
