I burn a tea light while chopping onions and I also take off the top layer if they’re not very new onions.

Lemon juice and salt work great on brass.
Toothpaste works great on silver.

Baking soda with vinegar can clean almost anything!

I like cleaning the microwave with vinegar too and I like cleaning the fridge with it because at least if I miss some, there’s nothing toxic in my frige. Great deodorizer!

The onion – the stinging stuff (whatever its chemical makeup) is in the root ball of the onion. Don’t cut into it. Either cut out a cone shape (with the widest part around the root end of the onion)and remove the root ball or cut around it, but don’t cut into it, that’s where the sting comes from.

Works every time! I’ve been astonished and no more onion tears!

The very best green cleaning product I have ever found is Orange TKO! You can clean and deodorize everything (you have to be careful with plastic) with very little product. It’s especially good on stainless steel, laminate (gets the stains out), and kills mold and fungus in the bathroom. You can use it as a laundry additive (infact, you can make your own really cheap laundry detergent with TKO and baking soda and/or borax. (It smells really good, too!)

You can use a stainless steel SPOON and avoid any possible injury! (Rinsing your hands with white vinegar seems to work to eliminate the garlic/onion smell, too.)
