Cheap And Efficient Chemical Free Cleaning

By Patty Goff


There are hundreds of products designed for cleaning your home. Most of them contain various chemical substances that are not particularly helpful to the environment. Moreover, you need different cleaning products for your furniture, kitchen, bathroom, floors and windows, to name just a few. In fact, you can make your home immaculately clean using only a few things you probably already have. Chemical free cleaning is cheap, efficient and non-polluting.

For making your lovely home absolutely spotless you need some baking soda, a bottle of white vinegar, a lemon or two, some olive oil and plain old sea salt. Using these ingredients you will be able to clean your sinks, bath tubs, kitchen cabinets, floors and walls, in short, your whole home. And you probably already have most of them in your cabinet.

One highly efficient cleaning paste can be made using baking soda and white vinegar. This simple paste is great for dirty sinks and pipes, ceramic plates, kitchen cabinets and all similar surfaces. You should simply rub it on a stain and remove the dirt. Cover stubborn stains with this mixture and leave them covered for a while. After that, it will be easier to scrub the dirt away using a sponge.

The same fizzing mixture will efficiently unclog your drains. Put some soda in the hole first, add a cup of white vinegar and cover everything tightly for a while. Then, pour boiling water in and that's it. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat it, but it really works. This is also a very simple way for maintaining your drains in perfect condition.

Highly efficient combination of baking soda and lemon juice is simply great for removing stains from your clothes as well. You can also clean your silver with this same paste. Different types of jewelry, especially chain necklaces and bracelets made of silver should be left soak in warm water with some baking soda and they will be shiny again.

Different baked-on food stains can be hard to remove. Use the same amounts of white vinegar and water and spray similar stains with this mixture. Pour sea salt or baking soda on and scrub them off. You can also add different essential oils in this mixture, to improve the fragrance. Lemon juice can be used instead, but white vinegar is much more powerful. You can use it for different ovens as well, including your microwave.

White vinegar is really effective for cleaning windows and mirrors. Use some old spray bottle and fill it with one cup of vinegar and three cups of water. Add a few drops of lemon, and clean your windows. You could also use some vodka for the same purpose, but you might find something much more interesting to do with this particular fluid.

Wooden surfaces and natural stones such as marble and granite won't shouldn't be cleaned this way. The mixture of olive oil and lemon juice is really nice for wood furniture. Put a little bit on some soft cloth and polish your wooden surfaces. It will make them spotless, nourished and shiny. Plain alcohol works great when it comes to natural stone.
