Nowadays there are so many cleaning products, with far too many chemicals. By using eco-friendly cleaning products, it is safer and healthier- for your home and your family. This week we talk about something you can probably find right in your kitchen! Olive oil! That’s right… it isn’t just for cooking anymore! And your favorite housekeeping Austin, Texas cleaning company will tell you how that is….
Use olive oil to clean your cast-iron pans! Just make a scrubbing paste with olive oil and a teaspoon of some coarse salt. Then with a stiff brush, use some elbow grease to scrub it, and finish off by rinsing with hot water. And for extra sparkle on your stainless steel, just pour a little olive oil onto a cloth and buff away!
Did you know you could use olive oil on your furniture? Use is for repairing scratches on leather furniture. Pour a very small amount onto a cloth and then just rub it into the scratches in small circular motions. If you want to smooth out scratches in your light-colored wooden furniture, rub them with a solution of equal parts of olive oil and lemon juice!
Keep rattan and wicker furniture from cracking, by gently rubbing some warm oil into the furniture with a soft cloth. This can really be a big help.
Olive oil is great for cooking, cleaning and even more. Another use for olive oil is that you can spray a bit on squeaky door hinges… or use it to spruce up your dusty plant leaves. Also try using olive oil to get paint off of your skin! Just rub some oil on, let it sit for 5-7 minutes, and then wash well with soap. Viola!
