More Spring Cleaning Tips And Recipes

Spring is taking its time getting here on the East Coast, but what would New England be without its changeable weather.

I`d like to share a few more tips for spring cleaning.

This one is with baking soda. Baking soda can be used on a wide variety of material and surfaces. You can use it to clean stainless steel, it cleans stains from crockery from tea and coffee. You can also make a paste of baking soda and water to remove stubborn stains from laminate, marble or plastic surfaces. (Always test first.)

And heres` a great tip for those of you with children and crayons. Baking soda will remove crayon from wallpaper,  just sprinkle on a wet sponge and apply to surface.

We depend on all those cleaners in the detergent aisle of the store too much, it can be as simple as a box of baking soda.

I would also like to share my donation to the relief efforts in Japan, 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale of my candleholder with beeswax candles will go to the Red Cross .
