Although Blue Dawn is not a natural cleaner, sometimes tougher problems call for tougher solutions. Mary Hunt (http://www.debtproofliving.com/) says, " If you haven't experienced the power of original Blue Dawn plus white vinegar, you are in for a treat. Remove the top of a plastic spray bottle and fill it half full of white vinegar. Carefully heat it in the microwave until the vinegar is hot, taking care not to melt the bottle. Fill the rest of the bottle with Blue Dawn liquid dishwashing soap. Apply the top tightly. Gently shake the bottle to mix. That's it. You now have a powerful cleaning product that will melt soap scum and tub and shower buildup, clean sinks, appliances and just about anything. Just spray it on, scrub, rinse and be amazed. For tough soap scum buildup, spray the mixture on and allow it to sit as long as overnight. Then, scrub and rinse." Used by permission
Note from Lois: I recommend wearing gloves for this project. Dawn and most regular dishwashing liquids cause my hands to peel, so there is definitely something harsh in them. However natural dishwashing liquids are much kinder to the hands. I've also started using a small bar of natural homemade soap containing natural oil to wash my hands, and that has also helped a lot. Cutting a bar of handmade soap in half and placing a piece at each sink has helped a lot. Now, washing my hands more often actually makes them softer and less dry. As Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing!"
Post Script: In 2015 I bought some Nano Towels online! These have made cleaning so much easier and without any cleaning supplies! I was able to clean the same picnic table and seats (mentioned above) with only a Nano Towel, water, and some elbow grease in short time! These towels are great for so many cleaning jobs, including windows.
