2.   In one gallon of water add one table spoon of lemon joy and two table spoon of lemon ammonia and mix it well. Then apply it on the glass that is the paste you made along with the steel wool. With this paste some of the outer stains and new ones will come off very easily.

3.   You may rub lemon juice on the glass to treat the remaining stains. Then make a paste mixing baking soda as well as vinegar. Rub it on the stains in circular motions as this is the best way to treat the stains. Baking soda will help to loosen up and break the stain further.

When you want to get rid of junk at home, there are several different ways to go about sustainably disposing of, or re-purposing the material. You can put old items up for sale, recycle or compost them, pass them on to relatives or call a junk removal company. Generally, it is easy to find a junk removal solution when it is on a smaller, residential scale.
