Hint 1: Nix Mold and Mildew

Let's call this the 'MILDEW PREVENTION SPRAY'!

Steep 2 orange rinds in 1 quart of vinegar for 3 hours. Discard the rinds, and add 2 tbs. of rubbing alcohol.

Pour into spray bottle once it's cooled, and spritz shower daily.

Spa Boost: Add 10 - 15 drops of lemon essential oil. The antiseptic doubles as an energy booster.

Hint 2: Get Glass Sparkling With A Quick-Dry Spray

Say 'bye bye'to streaky mirrors...

What you need
2 c. water
2 tbs. vinegar
2 tbs. rubbing alcohol
1 spray bottle

Mix ingredients above together in a spray bottle.

Spritz on glass and wipe. The fast-drying formula won't leave any residue behine.

Spa boost: Add 4-5 drops of peppermint essential oil. It helps disinfect surfaces, plus the scent improves memory and concentration.

'Go Green' Hint: Erase grimy grout with a salt scrub

Here's the perfect recipe for cleaning your tiles the natural
way.

1 c. table salt
2 tbs. liquid dish soap
1/2 c. baking soda

Mix the three together. Then use a sponge to gently scrub the tiles and grout.

Want a spa boost? Mix a few drops of patchouli essential oil to the recipe. Not only does patchouli break up dirt, it also eases inflammation - one reason it's been shown to alleviate joint pain!
