Someone I met on a course two weekends ago said she and her husband are planning to move out of London at some stage to Wales, to grow things and be self sufficient. So, I’ve started compiling a list of eco(-logical/-conomical) tips for her.
For cleaning mirrors, a lot of tips out there say water + vinegar, and maybe washing-up liquid plus other things that you have to pay for (soap, rubbing alcohol*). Not to mention the microfibre cloth for wiping the surface.
If you live in an area where you get free newspaper, use it to clean mirrors.
Just wet it, and wipe the mirror with it. All blotches will be lifted, even stubborn stains. (The news ink soaks up all the grease.). No streaks.
*google says: isopropyl alcohol or an ethanol-based liquid, with isopropyl alcohol products being the most widely available.
Thanks for the tips and keep them coming. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad you've found this useful. Not sure what area of tips you're interested in (e.g., cleaning only, or folk medicine, etc.), but in case you're interested, have a look at those of my blogs that cover massage, or remedies for a cough or a small cut, etc. I will go and compile a list for you, but you can look yourself in the meantime using the key words that apply to your area of interest.
