4. Wood Cleaner:

2 tablespoons of olive oil

and rub the mixture into the wood in a circular motion.
You may also place the mixture in a spray bottle*
and spray onto the wood surface.

and vacuum. Your carpet will have a new sparkle with the salt cleaner.

with a mixture of 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water.

These rags are great for picking up dust particles.
You may also use fabric softener sheets for a quick duster.

Place scented or unscented fabric softener sheets in your air vents.
These work wonderfully for capturing air borne pollutants.
