In Addition to Cleaning Furniture the Bettina Way
I love your company. I wasn't really sold on traveling bed & breakfast, but after trying Bettina's I am a convert. May it and all of you live long and prosper.
I tried the olive oil and lemon juice and it was FANTASTIC!!!!! I had some left over and went about cleaning other things. Did you know the same mixture cleans brass? I hate to clean brass and we have tons of it from my just married days. We were given a lot and started collecting exquisite pieces, but they can be horrible to clean so we didn't. Some had turned quite dark. The only time any of our brass pieces were cleaned was when the woman who cleans for us had extra time and she would pick up a piece or two and rub forever. The stuff she used had a foul smell, which lingered in the house for hours.
I used the 0000 steel wool and what was left over from the olive oil and lemon juice mixture I used to clean a couple pieces of wood furniture. It is unbelievable how easy it was to clean my brass pieces - trays, statues, candles. They look beautiful - but best of all I didn't have to suit-up to spend half a day cleaning brass. I didn't even use rubber gloves and like you said, my hands are all the better for having done the work.
THANK YOU! And you know I won't ever stay anyplace else. By the time you help me get my house into a very "organic" state I won't be able to stay anyplace else. As it is, I am hooked on breakfast at Bettina's. However, I haven't turned my own kitchen organic as a result - my husband is a little unhappy paying the extra money for some organic foods, but we have gone completely organic with milk and butter. Eggs are next. Hopefully, he will relent, especially when he sees the money we are going to save on brass polish. The one we bought was VERY EXPENSIVE! I've tried to show him that you spend more on some things and less on others when you go organic - maybe this proves the case.
