As for me, I've been reading about water quality. I like to deal with once in a while. The notes provided a very extensive listing and description of alternatives to many of the commercially available cleaners we presently use around the home and farm. For stains, rub borax into dampened area, let dry, and vacuum. When fizzing stops, flush with 1 quart boiling water.
Toothpaste removes water stains.
Wipe dry on paper towel, then wash with soap and water. For greasy stains, rub with corn meal and water or baby oil, rinse with lemon juice, then wash. Soak perspiration stains with one cup of white vinegar in one gallon of water. Scrape after oven cools. Greasy spots can be scrubbed with straight vinegar or a paste of baking soda and water.
