Making your own cleaning products not only benefits the wellness of your wallet, you could also improve family wellness and the wellbeing of the planet by swapping toxin-packed chemical cleaners for these simple and super-effective cleaning secrets.
If you have a carpet cleaning machine, but don’t want toxic carpet cleaning solution, all you need is some OxyClean, vinegar, and warm water for beautifully clean carpets that don’t break the bank, or damage the environment. You can even rent a carpet cleaning machine for one-off jobs, but this might not help if you’re trying to keep costs low.
Next, you might have already heard that lemons can be utilised for a bit of cleaning DIY, but when it comes to how to go about it you might not be quite as in-the-know. There’s a simple, secret recipe for using lemon as a cleaner that can really pack a punch with your surfaces. Peel your lemon, and pickle the peelings in white vinegar. Then, strain the solution, dilute it with water and get cleaning. When it comes to your bathtub, you might think there’s nothing in the world that you can combine to make an effective tub scrub, but you would be very wrong. With just a paste of baking soda and dish soap, scrub your tub from green to clean, and all on a very minimal budget.
Finally, if you want your tiles to sparkle you don’t need to limit your use of window cleaners to just your windows. Though this secret isn’t as environmentally friendly as the others, using window cleaners such as Windex can really make all the difference to your ceramic tiles, and even your hardwood floors. It might not save the planet, but it will save you time and money purchasing 3 different products that might not even work, when this one will cover all your bases and make your home sparkle from top to bottom.
So if you want a clean and (mostly) green 2013, don’t keep these super secrets to yourself – get to work in your home and prove to your friends how great they are, so they can pass the secrets on.
