OT...Cleaning question

[robinh]

Baking soda is wonderful too. We used to use a harsh chemical cleaner to clean the stove but my SO's sister told us to just try baking soda, it works just as well and isn't harsh to the environment or your hands.

Borax! Great in stainless steel!

I have 6 booklets, uses for white vinegar, for baking soda, and such. I've pretty much eliminated chemicals from my cleaning supplies. Between "going green," keeping healthy, and having the crew of 15, it just made sense. Not to mention these items are less costly too = which means more treats for the Crew! LOL

And there are stainless steel cleaners out there. I use one; it's sort of like a wax and it puts a really nice finish to the SS after you're done w/cleaning it. After that, liquids run off and they won't stain as much.

well i have one that is rather unusual, it is shaving cream, i hear ya, saying what on earth , i read about this and tried it myself, i regularly clean my stainless steel rubbish bin with it, and it works a dream, and shines up nicely too, never tried it on the sink, but now i am thinking why ever not, i just use a budget shaving cream and you don't need a lot either.
