Kristen Olsen 4/26/2022 5:30 AMCleaning tip: Baking soda and vinegar are not only great cleaners, but both are non-toxic and remarkably cheap. Sprinkle baking soda on a wet cloth and wipe it down. Vinegar can also be used as a disinfectant. Use a little lemon juice to help cover up the vinegar smell. -
