twilight33Earlier this month I was all excited about my lavender cleaning products. I open up the cleaning supplies/linen closet and have myself a good fix every day if I'm not cleaning something since I can't still can't get enough of it.
A few weeks ago I discovered it works as well as magic erasers on the Grime Above the Stove. If you think your kitchen is immune, climb up on your countertop and examine the cupboard doors up there (especially the top of the door itself) & where the wall meets the ceiling. It also cleans appliances well, but nothing beats the magic eraser for shining up porcelain sinks from coffee/tea stains.
Tonight was the major accidental discovery: it polishes silver!! I'm not kidding, I sprayed a cloth with it just to get some dust off candlesticks and the tarnish went right off as I rubbed. I then tackled a 19th century vase, a mirror, my mom's baby cup & a picture frame with the same surprising results. I wouldn't recommend it for heavy duty tarnish (I think I last polished in the summer) or anything with numerous small ridges but for general flat surfaces this stuff does the trick, isn't hard on your hands & smells yummy.
