I know you would normally put these in the compost, but if you ever want to naturally freshen the disposal, lemons do the trick! Another option is grinding ice cubes made of vinegar to both sharpen the blades and remove odor (the only downside is that your entire freezer will smell like vinegar... you can grind regular ice cubes with the lemons as another option).

My jeweler turned me on to this little jewel. I was having trouble cleaning a charm bracelet with lots of nooks and crannies. He suggested this paste. It worked like a charm - no pun intended! Baking Soda + Water paste is quick and completely non-toxic (I think). I have noticed that the tarnish returns a little sooner than with the commercial cleaners. However, the absence of offensive odors makes it a more attractive alternative to me, anyway. Silver-Brass-Copper Cleaner. My jeweler turned me on to this little jewel.

As someone who suffers with allergic reactions to pretty much any cleaning product (and all synthetic fragrances), I have tried to go as green as possible and am always listening for tips on the most effective solutions and natural recipes for cleansers. I thank you for such terrific suggestions!! Elise,
