~FRUGAL FRIDAY IN REVIEW" DIY LEMON DUST CLOTHES"





Hello ladies!

Lets start our Friday off with a non-toxic way of green cleaning. Using very simple items , that can be washed and reused . Which saves money, it's safe, non toxic, and smells delish! This item would be lovely dust cloths. After finding this recipe you know I had to give it a go a few times to determine if it would be included in my DIY  green cleaning list.  And yep it made the cut. So here is what's needed:

A Glass mason Jar
Water ( I use purified water for life span)
Vinegar
Rags
6 Lemons
Olive oil ( forgot to add olive oil to my picture, lol. Sorry)

Use your lemons, but remember to save the peelings.  Put equal parts water and vinegar into your mason jar. Add a few drops of Olive oil. Olive oil has proven beneficial to remove dust from metallic surfaces and  furniture.

 Soak your rags until fully saturated. Wring out your rags  ( try to wring  them over your jar in hopes of saving some of the mixture), leaving them damp.

Next , place your rags flat and begin to place your saved peelings from your lemons into your cloth rags.  folding or rolling the rinds into each cloth, and place into your glass jar with the  pre-made solution. Add a few extra lemon peels into your mason jar. Place your lid on to the jar and seal tight.

If your jar does not have a plastic lid, but a metal lid  cover the opening of your jar with saran wrap first as the vinegar will interact with the metal lid if not.

Remember vinegar is a great mold killer, so mold should not be a problem with this mixture.

While dusting the rags smell really good , and lemony. Love it!

That's it for Frugal Friday ! I hope you all enjoy , have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by, take care and remember to stay Naturally healthy and fabulous.
