How To Clean Your Home Naturally - And Cheap!
Nowadays, there are chemicals in just about everything.
And those chemicals can be quite damaging, to our environment AND to our health.
Natural ingredients for cleaning your home are especially important if you have pets or children.
You can also save a good chunk of change too! Sounds too good to be true? Keep reading to get the natural, clean home secrets...
Baking Soda - Baking soda is a fantastic deodorizer.
That's why we use it in our refrigerators and freezers.
But did you also know that it's a natural abrasive and works just as well as those brand name cleansers? Great for the sinks, toilets and tubs.
Just sprinkle and use with the sponge/scrubber or your choice and voila! Sparkling kitchens and baths with no toxins.
Vinegar - Plain white vinegar is a great disinfectant.
You can use a half and half mixture with water, place it in a spray bottle and use it just about everywhere, although it's especially great on counters and for use on soap scum.
Make sure you use it diluted, as vinegar is acidic and can be too harsh on some surfaces.
If you're not so hot on the smell of vinegar, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or use lemon oil.
A secondary use for vinegar is as a fruit and vegetable wash.
Pour half a cup in a sink full of water and toss in all those fresh yummies! Hydrogen Peroxide - This inexpensive little gem is a wonder.
Hydrogen peroxide is a natural anti- bacterial (which is why we use it on our boo-boo's) an anti-viral and an anti-fungal, which makes it excellent for cleaning.
Particularly on counter tops (where we do things like cut raw meat), in the bathroom (sinks, toilets and mildew) and floors.
It already comes in the perfect bottle.
just buy a cheap spray top that fits.
When you spray it on, be sure to let it sit for a few minutes in order for it to kill the germs.
If you use the 35% grade hydrogen peroxide, then it's best to dilute it, or you can use the 3% you can find in your local stores.
A surprise tip - To disinfect your household sponges, make sure they are damp and put them in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.
It kills any germs that may be lurking.
Just be careful removing them, they'll be hot! All of these products are easy to find, simple to use and cost only pennies.
Using all natural cleaners is the effortless choice for our families health and our environment.
Enjoy your cleaner life!
