You can spend money on fancy products to clean your dishwasher, or better yet, you might just have these two products somewhere in your kitchen cabinet:
Fill the detergent cups with one of these two products: ½ cup white vinegar or a couple packs of lemon Kool-Aid (other colored packs will stain the dishwasher).
Next, run the empty machine through a complete wash cycle. And you’re done. Enjoy your clean dishwasher!
At Solutions.com, we’re constantly adding videos to give our customers a better look at our products. While adding two videos this week to the Solutions YouTube channel, we realized how timely these additions were…now that it’s spring.

Many of those stubborn toilet bowl stains can be quickly and easily “erased” with a common pumice stone, found at most drug stores. Be sure to use “wet” and not dry to reduce risk of scratching. It works better and more easily than most chemicals or abrasive powders.
Heat two tablespoons of lemon juice in one cup of water on high for 2-3 minutes until boiling. Leave the door closed for five minutes so the vapors will help lift tough grease and grime. When it’s done, remove the glass container and wipe down the inside of microwave with a clean towel or paper towel. Leave your microwave door open and let it air dry.
As a cleaner, nothing’s “greener” than a bright, yellow lemon! This versatile fruit offers more than just a tangy taste treat…it’s a natural degreaser and deodorizer. It even knocks out tough stains, naturally! (Always test it in an inconspicuous area first, though.)
As an all-purpose cleaner. Add equal parts water and lemon juice to a spray bottle for an inexpensive, effective kitchen and bathroom cleaner. You can even use it to remove marks from walls! (Test first.)
As a bleach. Skip the dangerous chlorine…add a 1/2 cup of lemon juice to the rinse cycle in place of conventional bleach and hang clothes to dry. For fresher-smelling laundry all-around, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to a load of clothes after the washer fills and launder as usual.
As bug repellent. Pour lemon juice around areas where ants like to gather to discourage them from coming back.
As a degreaser. Straight lemon juice cuts through grease on pots and pans…even the grill rack in your oven or barbecue.
As a microwave cleaner/deodorizer. Add lemon slices to a microwave-safe bowl of water and heat it in the microwave on high for 30-60 seconds. Old food odors will be neutralize and food stains will wipe away easily!
As a lime scaler. Cut a lemon in half and rub it on the sink or faucet to elminate lime buildup.
As a refrigerator deodorizer. No baking soda on hand? Half a lemon stored in the fridge will help control and eliminate unpleasant smells.
As a toilet cleaner. Mix a 1/2 cup of borax with a half cup of lemon juice for a powerful toilet cleaner that will leave the commode smelling extra clean.
As a glass cleaner. Mix 4 tablespoons of lemon juice with a half gallon of water for a cleaner that leaves windows and mirrors sparkling.
As a furniture polish. Buff furniture to a high shine with a mixture of 2 parts olive oil and 1 part lemon juice!
As a drain cleaner. Hot lemon juice and baking soda is a great drain cleaner that’s safe in a septic system. To keep your garbage disposal smelling fresh, throw in some lemon peel while it’s running.
As an air freshener. Equal parts lemon juice and water added to an atomizer creates a wonderful, chemical-free air freshener for your home or automobile.
Bonus tip: When lemons get dry and hard, place them in a hot oven for a few minutes to refresh them!
The unique, microfiber weave of Miracle Cloth is more effective at removing dust, dirt, germs, grease and lime safely and effectively. Miracle Cloths last longer than conventional cleaning cloths, reducing environmental impact and saving you money. They do require special care, though, so use these helpful tips for getting the most out of your Miracle Cloths and making them last longer:
• While cleaning, rinse Miracle Cloth frequently in warm water to help prevent streaks and dirt build-up.
• Miracle Cloth cleans with plain water – no chemicals needed! If you do use chemical cleaners, keep in mind it may take two or three washings to completely remove their residue from the microfiber.
• Don’t use fabric softener on your Miracle Cloths, either in the washer (liquids) or the dryer (dryer sheets). Fabric softeners can diminish the powerful cleaning qualities of the microfiber. You don’t need to worry about static cling; this is a normal quality of microfiber cleaning cloths.
• Wash your Miracle Cloths in warm water. Dry them thoroughly to keep them from developing a mildew odor. Don’t wash them with cotton fabrics, as lint from the cotton can stick to the microfiber and be left behind on the surfaces you later clean.
Copper and brass fixtures looking dull? Half a lemon with salt sprinkled over the cut side is a fast, all-natural polisher! Just rub it over the metal and rinse thoroughly. Note: use this method on SOLID brass fixtures only, and be sure to test it in an inconspicuous spot first (a good idea with any polisher).
