The Best Organic Ways To Clean Your Home

Cleaning your home can take a surprising amount of money. There are cleaning products on the shelves of supermarkets in their bottles, from floor washing to room fresheners. However, most cleaning products are full of harmful chemicals that should not come in contact with the skin or respiratory tract.

Old folk cleaning tips are just as functional as modern cleaning products, and best of all, they are completely natural and inexpensive. In this article, we will explore some of the best natural options for cleaning your home that are not a danger to humans or pets. Read more!

Organic and safe products for home cleaning

Many of us enjoy the scent of a clean home, and the fresh scent of citrus or mint refreshes. It is also important for many that the cleaning products do not damage the hands and that they expel all bacteria and microorganisms from the floors, as well as other surfaces.

It is a pity that most cleaning products contain a large number of toxic and dangerous chemicals that can harm humans as well as nature. Many of these products dry out the skin of your hands and that is why it is recommended to wear gloves when cleaning them.

Why not try organic options for cleaning your home that are effective and safe for yourself, your family and nature. With natural cleaning products, you get exactly the same result as with commercial ingredients, as the following ingredients clean, disinfect and leave a wonderfully fresh and clean scent.

Versatile apple cider vinegar

• Glass cleaning. Swim a cloth or other piece of cloth in apple cider vinegar, squeeze out any excess liquid, and rub into drinking glasses or cups. Apple cider vinegar removes grease and dirt. Finish by rinsing with hot water.
• A great way to clean your micro. Pour a small amount of apple cider vinegar into a small microwaveable container and let it heat in the microwave for 4 minutes. The steam rising from the vinegar removes the dirt.
• With apple cider vinegar, you can polish and clean metal cutlery, knives and other kitchen utensils.
• Limescale build-up in the shower and bath can be easily removed with apple cider vinegar. Rub vinegar with a sponge or cloth on all calcified areas and leave on for half an hour. Rub through the areas with a brush, rinse with hot water and finish with a dry cloth. Your shower shines with its purity.

• Apple cider vinegar removes makeup residue and orchards from clothing. To do this, use a cloth or piece of cloth soaked in apple cider vinegar and press it over the stain until it fades.

Baking soda

• Sewer cleaner. Most sewage treatment products are full of toxins that end up directly in waterways. Try plain baking soda instead. It’s easy: pour baking soda into a clogged, smelly or poorly drained drain and pour a glass of vinegar behind it. Allow the ingredients to act for 15 minutes and rinse down with hot water.
• Clothes softener. Rinse aids make clothes soft by developing a small layer of grease into the fibers of the clothes, balancing the cleaning effects of the detergent, which can make the fabric rough. Baking soda prevents detergent lime from sticking to clothing and keeps it soft. Your clothes are naturally soft.

• Eliminates bad odor. Baking soda is great for banishing bad odors from shoes or pet hens, for example. Baking soda has been used in carpet cleaning for decades. Sprinkle baking soda all over the carpet or other fabric to be cleaned and let it work overnight. The next day, vacuum the soda off and you’ll immediately notice how fresh and clean your carpet is. Always keep baking soda in your closet as it bends for many uses.

The miraculous power of lemon

• Lemons are one of the best and most readily available natural products for home cleaning. Lemons are suitable for many, as their acids clean dirt and grease, whiten and leave a wonderfully fresh scent. Lemon juice is antibacterial and disinfectant, which is why it is used in many cleaning and beauty products. On your next visit to the grocery store, grab a few lemons in your bag and see their effectiveness. There’s no going back when you realize how many different things a lemon is for – best of all, lemons are available year-round and are significantly less expensive than modern cleaning products.

• Use a lemon to brighten white clothes. Often white clothes lose their color over time and turn gray. During the rinsing phase of the washing machine, pour half a glass of lemon juice into the machine. You will immediately notice how bright your white clothes turn.
• When you wash the dishes either by hand or in the machine, add a few drops of lemon juice to the wash and you will get rid of the tough fat in plates, bowls and cutlery. Easy but effective!
• If your fridge smells uncomfortable, all you need is half a lemon. Cut the lemon in half and put the other half in the fridge, the lemon will take away the bad smells.
• Lemon is a great stain remover in the kitchen. Mix a few drops of lemon juice with water and rub it on surfaces with stains (glass, wood surfaces, tablecloth, kitchen worktops, cutting boards, etc.).
