Hey Rhonda!! Great baking soda ideas! I use it for my toilet, but add vinegar and let it sit for about 15 min before cleaning. Works well! Thanks for all the ideas! (BTW, I am growing lemon balm this summer to try your mosquito repellent "recipe" you posted last year)
I tried the drain cleaner thing, and it didn't budge our dear drains.... ours have like 85 years worth of junk in them I'm thinking.
I've used vinegar as a grout cleaner then read not to, so I'll have to try the baking soda idea instead!
Have a great day friend!
