Harsh chemical cleaners pollute indoor air and the environment. Try these natural cleaning solutions:
- Clean surfaces with a paste of baking soda and water. Scrub with a brush or sponge.
- Disinfect with diluted white vinegar. Wipe down counters, floors, bathrooms.
- Freshen laundry with wool dryer balls instead of fabric softener sheets.
- Remove soap scum buildup with a paste of lemon juice and borax. Rinse clean.
- Shine glass, mirrors, stainless steel using club soda or distilled white vinegar.
- Absorb fridge odors with baking soda or activated charcoal in a small container.
- Mix essential oils like lemon, lavender or tea tree with water in a spray bottle for an air freshener.
- Scrub toilets, sinks and tiles with a pumice stone to remove hard water stains.
With simple ingredients from your pantry, you can effectively clean your whole home without harsh toxins. Going green saves money too!
