The Queen is on her Throne!


In this month, when we honor Mother Earth by talking about new ways to help our environment, I feel we need to do more than talk. We need to do.
In that vein, I present to you,
The Queen on her throne!
No, this isn't a commercial for the Works, a toilet bowl cleaner.
This is a way to use, or repurpose,
an everyday item
in an interesting way.









Please note the dark color of my copper earrings.
(No, they are not in the toilet bowl. They are in an empty, plastic container.)
















These are the same earrings in the Works.
I must emphasize, no earrings were harmed in the making of this blog.
The earrings are still not in the toilet bowl.
Notice the slight change in color.













Here are the same earrings after rinsing.
Aren't they purty?

















I've used the Works for cleaning beads, especially turquoise colored glass. Turquoise tends to get a wee bit scummy.
I've also used the Works on reds, though not as successfully.
I've cleaned many beads.
The greatest part of the Works is that once you have finished cleaning your beads or your copper,
you can pour it in the toilet bowl,
add a bit more,
and,
with a little scrubbing,
your toilet bowl
will be sparkling!

Now, how do you repurpose everyday products around your house?
