There are all kinds of things to learn and do at the grocery store. Children really don't need to watch TV every hour of every day.

Vinegar's not my main cleaning product but I use it for a lot of things. It deodorizes well and gets starch stains off my stainless steel pots and pans better than anything. I also use it diluted with water to clean my counters.

The vinegar smell only lasts an hour or so tops. Less than chemical cleaners.

Linseed Oil would create a nice but natural looking finish. It gives you a shine and accents the grain with out the hard, glossy look of varnish. I think it also helps protect the wood from bugs.
