House Cleaning With Natural Products You Make Yourself
Many cleaners that you may be using to clean your house contain toxic chemicals and can be rather expensive. Did you know that you could save money by doing your house cleaning with natural products that you make yourself with products you already have in your home? You may be surprised to learn that you will get just as good results using natural homemade cleaners as you do from the ones you purchase at the store.
You can use vinegar in several ways to help you clean. It is a great disinfectant and deodorizer and by mixing one part vinegar and one part water, you will have a wonderful all purpose cleaner. Pour the vinegar and water solution into a spray bottle and you can use it in your bathroom on your tub, toilet, sink and counter top. In the kitchen, clean your appliances, stove top and counters. It is a good solution to use for mopping your floor to, but you will want to be sure it will not damage your floor. Test on a very small spot before using it to mop. You can also clean the goop out of your automatic coffee maker by running full strength vinegar through a full brewing cycle. Rinse the vinegar out by cycling water through the maker two or three times. There are many uses for vinegar, but you should know that it can not be used on marble surfaces.
Vinegar is a great fabric softener, too. Just add a half cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle of your wash. You will not need a dryer sheet for your dryer. You do not have to worry about the vinegar odor. This will go away as the vinegar dries.
Another product that makes a great, affordable cleaner is baking soda. To clean the surfaces in your home, simply pour a little bit onto a damp cloth or sponge and wipe away. This will also take scuff marks and grease spots off our your floor. Mix three parts baking soda with one part water to make a paste to clean your silver pieces. Rub the paste onto your silver, rinse in warm water and then dry with a soft cloth. Setting an open box of baking soda in your refrigerator and freezer will help absorb odors. You can take out odors from your carpet by sprinkling some baking soda onto your carpet and vacuuming it up. You will want to be sure that your vacuum can pick all of the powder up, so try it in an inconspicuous area first before you sprinkle it over all of your carpet.
White vinegar and baking soda mixed together makes a great carpet spot remover for cleaning services. Mix the two ingredients into a paste and work it into the stain with a cleaning brush or an old toothbrush. Let it dry and then vacuum up the baking soda. If you have a stubborn stain, you may have to do this twice to get the stain out in your house cleaning.
You may not know tat lemon juice can also come in handy for cleaning. It can be used alone to dissolve hard water deposits and soap scum. You can also combine it with baking soda or vinegar to make a paste. Combine half a cup of lemon juice with one cup of olive oil to make a polish that can be used to shine your hardwood furniture pieces.
To make glass cleaner, mix equal parts of water and rubbing alcohol with a little bit of white vinegar. Or mix one half cup ammonia, one half cup rubbing alcohol and one half cup water. Either one will give you a streak free shine.
Doing your house cleaning with natural products is so easy and inexpensive. You will also have a sense of pride knowing that the cleaners you use are not poisonous. It is a chore that has to be done, but at least you can save money by making your own cleaners!
