Cream of Tartar



Credit for this idea is given to:  http://razorfamilyfarms.com/crafts/cream-of-tartar/ (at least that is where I found it).

Cream of tartar is one of nature’s best bleaching agents.  Cream of tartar, a.k.a “crusted wine,” is mixed with baking soda to create baking powder.  While it is an acid, it’s not harmful.  It’s an acidic salt which comes from grapes. 
Use a few tablespoons of cream of tartar with hot water or hydrogen peroxide and clean any aluminum pans which have discoloration or any rusty drains, pans, or stains.
Do you have copper kettles?  Mix some cream of tarter with lemon juice and rub the copper with it.  Rinse and be amazed!  How about a porcelain sink, tub, commode?  Rub the porcelain surfaces with cream of tartar and watch the stains disappear.  Fabric stains?  No prob.  Mix a few teaspoons of cream of tartar with some glycerin and use like spray-and-wash.Just need a great nonabrasive cleaner?  Mix 2 teaspoons of vinegar and 2 teaspoon of cream of tartar in a small dish (use 3 or 4 teaspoons of vinegar and 3 or 4 teaspoons of cream of tartar if you have more items to clean).  Apply with your cleaning rag or scrub brush and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.  Scrub.  Wash with hot soapy water.

I used this picture because I have a little Scottie dog (Lacy) a golden or wheaton scottie that looks like this!  Love it!
