Product 1 - Wood Polish

Make your own wood furniture polish by mixing 1 part olive oil to 2 parts apple cider vinegar. You can also substitute white vinegar. Add a few drops of lemon juice to give it the lemon fresh scent of a commercial cleaner. Mix thoroughly. Dab a paper towel or polishing cloth into the solution and use.

Product 2 - Cleaning Paste for Ceramic and Tile

Make your own porcelain and ceramic cleaning paste by combining 1 cup baking soda with 2 Tbsp. of vinegar. When adding the vinegar, it will fizz and react. Then squeeze in 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice. Mix to combine and apply with a sponge.

Product 3 - Cleaning Spray for Countertop

Make an all purpose countertop cleaner by mixing 1 part vinegar, 4 parts water, and 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice. Put the solution into a spray bottle and keep on hand for cleaning countertops. Shake well before each use.

Product 4 - Easy DIY Shoe Polish

For a simple shoe polish, all you need is olive oil and a few drops of lemon. Pour as much as you need, keeping in mind that a little goes a long way. Add the lemon, stir to combine and apply to shoes using a paper towel or polishing cloth.

Product 5 - Tarnish Remover

Did you know that you can remove tarnish with toothpaste? Just squeeze a pea-sized amount of toothpaste onto your finger and apply to the tarnished silver using a circular motion. The tarnish will lift from your silver almost immediately. Don't forget to use this trick to clean necklace chains.
