I am tired of buying store-bought products that do more harm than good.
I am curious if fellow FReepers were using baking soda and Epson Salt on a regular basis and if so what is your favorite tip.
Perhaps you have another 'Secret' product that you use.
I use Dawn on my paint brushes. Rinse them well, then add some straight Dawn into the base of the bristles and lather up well, then rinse out.
Whatare you using it for? To clean? OR to soak?
I make an insect spray out of tea tree oil. It kills brown recluse spiders and does not harm the cats.
Please share your recipe.
Same here. Epsom Salt is good if you have any skin conditions like psoriasis. Just put it in bathwater. It’s also a good source of magnesium.
Anything. I cleaned a bunch of coins the other day with baking soda. I also use a teaspoon of baking soda to help an upset stomach.

Excellent for Gorn cleaning.
In the old days, when you had an upset stomach, you used bicarbinate of soda. It is basically baking soda.
The antiseptic properties of baking soda help reduce the acid levels in the urine and combat the bacteria. Baking soda water provides amazing benefits for cleansing your gut, further balancing your pH levels. For all those dealing with digestive issues can easily try drinking this potion. It doesn’t taste like that fine wine you are used to, and it doesn’t take a lot of the powder to get it done. Best to try to drink the glass as fast as possible and get ready for the resounding burp.
One of the biggest benefits is that it is known to counter acid reflux, thanks to its alkaline properties. It helps neutralise stomach acids and provides relief from indigestion in adults. Most health experts swear by mixing baking soda with water, which is also a great source of relieving heartburn, of course in limited quantity.

LOL
Muriatic acid, empty 2 liter Coke bottle, rolled up piece of aluminum foil.
Dawn is an amazing cleaning product on many surfaces.
As an aside, many moons ago I knew a Dawn - a very special lady who I recall each time I use Dawn. Not sure what that means...just an observation.
Change it to basil oil and spray around your windows and doors to keep flies away.
Heh
That is some good information. Guugle would have sent me to liberal sites that they make money from.
Any ideas for sugar ants that is not toxic to cats? I used borax until some web site said that might not be good for pets.
Now that is some good information that I will use right away. Thank you!
One liter of water, half cup of vodka (get the cheap stuff!) and twenty drops of tea tree oil.
Change it to basil oil and spray around your windows and doors to keep flies away.
Those diamonds are hell on the bore, though.
Coffee grounds around the ol’ mobile home keeps the critters from digging underneath the siding.
Use a long fuse. ;-)
The Kirkland brand (Costco) Dawn colored detergent is no where near as good as real Dawn.
