Everyone worries about the dangers of using a product that removes calcium, lime, and rust.  But, when faced with seemingly impossible stains on tiles, in the tub in the kitchen, in the toilet, etc.  where else are you supposed to turn? 

Luckily for us, Nature Clean has come up with an eco-friendly alternative which works wonders on such areas.  The product is called Nature Clean Calcium / Rust / Lime Removerand is available at retailers who carry eco-friendly lines, such as Whole Foods, Canadian Tire, Grassrootsstore.com, etc.  It’s simple to use with directions on the bottle! We recommend this products to our clients often.

For me, one of the most frustrating parts of home ownership is seeing something that bothers me day in and day out and it gently gets under my skin, yet I leave it because I don’t know how to handle it or am too lazy (yes, it happens to everyone) to do it.  However, when I am seeking a quick project or major satisfaction, I research it and do what I need to do to solve the problem. 

If you are reading this blog, it’s not because you are thrilled by the exciting world of calcium, lime, and rust, but likely because you have lime scale in your shower or a rusty sink and have reached your breaking point.  Give this a try and let me know how it goes for you!

Happy cleaning

Orange oil products work well even at removing adhesive stuck on glass or a price tag stuck on a vase.

I hope I have shown you throughout my blogs how we can create clean and safe homes—naturally. Often what we find in the fridge and pantry is all we need to clean our homes.

Orange oil is amazing for tackling greasy jobs. For example, when we are faced with a client’s greasy exhaust vent above a stove, we use orange oil as our saving grace. It is a natural degreaser, which means it is perfect for kitchen use.

Orange oil is created by pressing the peels of the orange and separating the oil. During this process, a compound called d-limonene (the beneficial cleaning property) is created. Be careful to not inhale this, because although eco-friendly, it can cause more sensitive people discomfort.

There are many orange oil products on the market; be sure to purchase an eco-friendly brand or else you get harmful contaminants in the mix.

The best way to use orange oil is to find the area with grease or other sticky residue, apply the product (always testing in a small and inconspicuous area first), and then let it sit for about 15 minutes. Afterwards a quick wipe should remove all residue. Follow it up with a water rinse.

Orange oil products work well even at removing adhesive stuck on glass or a price tag stuck on a vase. Dab a bit onto the affected area, let it sit for a while, and then rub the residue away.

I hope this has enlightened you to yet another very cool aspect of the orange!
