Lemon Dustcloths and the verse of the week.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

James 1:27


Lemon DustCloths
2 parts water
2 parts white distilled vinegar
2 drops lemon oil or olive oil
clean rags
lemons
airtight jar with screw lid.

Make a solution of the water, vinegar and oil. Soak your rags in this solution and squeeze out the excess, leaving them just damp. Pare the rind from several lemons (depending on how many rags your are preparing) and lay a couple of pieces on each smoothed-out rag. Fold each one, or roll it up, and store in a clean jar with an extra piece of lemon peel or two. Screwthe lid on and store them until needed. *make sure you wash or boil the dustcloths regularly before you reuse them. By Christina Strutt A Guide to Green Housekeeping
