Commonly used industrial cleansers are packed with hazardous and environmentally damaging ingredients. These chemical-based products can be expensive because of the long-term health risks to the family and the environmental damage that their production and disposal create.
This collection of typical, environmentally friendly chemicals can be combined or used alone for various domestic applications. Only vinegar, baking soda, soap, and water are needed for most cleaning tasks, although other components are useful for particular tasks.
Baking soda
A great deodorizer and cleanser is baking soda. In order to soften water and increase the cleaning power of foam, it works well with natural soaps as well as vinegar to clean and remove blockages.
Cornstarch
Cleaning and polishing sliding windows, picture windows, bay and bow windows, fiberglass doors, and other glass surfaces are all easily accomplished using cornstarch as a substitute. Use it to remove stubborn stains and grime from carpets and rugs.
Lemon
Some of the strongest naturally occurring acids in food can be found in lemons. Use it to destroy microorganisms and cut grease.
White vinegar
White vinegar or acetic acid removes wax buildups, freshens, lifts certain stains, and cuts through oil and mildew.
Rubbing alcohol
Isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol kills almost all microorganisms on surfaces. A further option is ethanol. You can purchase alcohol cleaning products at your neighborhood pharmacy.
Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide, a disinfectant frequently used on wounds, can also be used in the kitchen or bathroom to keep areas clean. Hydrogen peroxide is a good stain remover for grout and fabrics due to its moderate bleaching action. Handle carefully as it may irritate the skin or the respiratory system.
You can now take care of your house and the environment at the same time thanks to eco-friendly cleaning supplies. Take advantage of natural cleaning solutions to make cleaning for you and your family a sustainable and healthful experience.
