Now that the relatives are gone and Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to clean things up and get ready for the next round of visitors in the coming weeks.

To get rid of bugs – plant some herbs like basil and lavender. To disinfect and scrub, combine vinegar, grapefruit juice and baking soda to make a homemade cleaner.

Polish silver with slices of lemon, potatoes, or banana peels.
Cucumbers will erase scuff marks, defog mirrors, and when rubbed on stainless steel will make it shine.

Mash up the fruit and rub over the floor. Wipe clean and buff for a healthy shine.
