Here is an interesting article from Re-Nest – Clean Your Bathtub with a Grapefruit and Some Salt.
I have often used lemon juice in my homemade cleaning products, but this is an interesting use for produce that I don’t think I would have thought of.
See the full article with recipe HERE.
The discussion in the comments is interesting too – which is the lesser of the two evils for the eco-friendly – to “waste” food to clean your home, or to use manufactured products (a.k.a chemicals?)
Enjoy!

Good contractors are really, really hard to find. When I find a great one, I want to scream it from the rooftops!
I bought my first house in February. I was over the moon – it is everything I’ve ever wanted in a house – huge yard, mature fruit trees, large garden, enough bedrooms for the whole family - it was perfect! So we bought it.
Fast forward to three weeks ago – I woke up one morning to water gushing out of the cracks in my driveway. Uh-oh. Welcome to the joys of home ownership, right? I was beside myself though. We had barely been in this house for 6 months, and I could tell right away this was going to be a budget buster.
Luckily for me, a co-woorker was quick to recommend Dano with Independent Plumbing Solutionsbefore I had a chance to hit the phonebook. I could not have been more blessed to have found him. Dano and his crew responded quickly, diagnosed the problem, and very patiently explained what had caused this nightmare and what all of my options were for moving forward.
I have to tell you – I am a very anxious person. Dano not only took the time to explain things to me in plain english (I’ve rarely found a contractor who will,) but he calmed me down. He reassured me. And he never, ever, made me feel like I was over-reacting or slowing him down with my game of 20-questions.
In the end, he came in early and under-budget. Dano has found himself a customer for life in me, and I hope that next time you have plumbing needs of your own (hopefully not of the emergency variety) that you will consider giving him a call too. After all, good contractors are extremely hard to find.
Dano can be reached through his website:
