Hi, I just want to add one usefull cleaning tip here. For more effective dishwashing, add a few tablespoons of vinegar along with the dishwashing detergent when washing dishes. The vinegar cuts the grease and leaves dishes sparkling. Happy Cleaning )

Olive oil is perfectly safe for stainless steel appliances. I am referring to the outer panels of my refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove top. The main ingredient for most of the natural stainless steel cleaners I have found is olive oil. It does not remove any finish.

Lindsay, you mentioned in this article that you use olive oil to clean your stainless steel appliances. Are you speaking of stainless steel refrigerator panels, dishwasher, stove, etc? If yes, does the olive oil remove any of the finish off the appliances? Is olive oil a substance that is safe or recommended for stainless steel appliances? (I just don’t want to ruin the finish on them. )

Thank you for all the tips so far. I recently bought a house with granite counter tops. Some people seem to suggest that using vinegar to clean granite is a bad idea. Does anyone have experience with this or have another easy natural solution for granite cleaning? Thanks

I would alos reccommend what Lindsay stated, but you could use peroxide and leave on for a while to whiten. But after getting it clean, you really need to seal your grout or you will be in the same situation. Most people are not aware that grout should be sealed a couple times a year. Hope this helps. Blessings….

I also have a spray bottle of club soda handy for laundry stains as well.

I also am a HUGE fan of Shaklee products in general. The Basic H is superior to just about any natural cleaner that I have used or personally concocted. I love the fact that there is little to no scent to bother any sensitive little noses. The price and versatility of Basic H can’t be beat.

I also love the oxygen bleach powder to throw in with the kiddos tougher stained clothes- it works like magic every time to get out even the “untouchable” stains.

If you are in the market for a safe, totally affordable cleaner, give the Basic H a try- you won’t be dissapointed. I give Shaklee a double thumbs up.
