Home Made Kitchen Appliance Cleaners
By Maria Brittis

Growing up in the 60's with my mom, bless her heart had cleaning solutions for everything from the kitchen appliance to the bathrooms floors. Hardly a penny was spent unless it was for shopping for the ingredients for salad and baking supplies which were all used for cleaning as well.

She even went as far as making her own hair conditioner, and we each got a jar of it. When I started getting complaints from my school friends that I smelled like a Caesar salad I knew my mom had gone to far.

The best cleaning solution for the kitchen appliance was her cider vinegar and water solution. Fill half an old spray bottle with cider vinegar and the other half with water. It worked like magic on all our appliances, including glass, floors and basically everything.

Another great cleaning solution for making apppliances shine and smell good is 3 parts  lemon, ammonia and water.

We kept all the newspapers and they were used for cleaning rags for anything that was glass. Old tee shirt and my brother's underwear were also used. You can imagine how my brother felt when his buddies would come and visit and his underwear was being used on my father's car windows.

We'll memories can last a life time so does my mom's old fashion cleaning solutions, Even though today’s appliances have advanced in technology, the cider vinegar remedy still will work wonders in keeping them shiny and clean.
