Homemade, non-toxic cleaners are a great substitute for conventional chemical cleaners. What is more, you can decide about both the concentration and quantity of cleaners, as you are the boss of the ingredients.
- Lemon Juice
Besides its lemon taste, which is wonderful to smell, lemon juice helps clear grease. It eliminates mildew and mold and brightens surfaces wonderfully. Moreover, it can sterilize the bacteria and split tarnish from brass, copper, bronze as well and aluminum.
- Baking Soda
Baking soda is an eco-friendly product that can be used almost everywhere in the house for general cleaning. It is ideal for grease, protein, and animal stains. It also does a great job absorbing odors and is also the one that removes baked-on food from pans and stoves. Furthermore, a small amount of baking soda can fit in the refrigerator successfully to eliminate odors.
- Castile Soap
A mild, quality soap low in saponification value, typically prepared from vegetable oils, including olive oil. It works for all the purposes of cleaning basic laundry, furniture, and carpets.
- Essential Oils
Essential oils not only eliminate bad odors but also add natural fragrance to the environment. They can be mixed with cleansers. However, some essential oils can cause an allergic reaction or have warnings for people who have pre-existing conditions.
- White Vinegar
Vinegar is one of the many natural things that can be used as a disinfectant. Owing to its acidic nature, it works efficiently on alkaline materials. It removes limescale deposits from coffeepots, silverware, pots and cookware, and countertops.
- Hydrogen Peroxide
Everybody knows hydrogen peroxide as a more non-toxic substitute to bleach. It is less likely to affect the environment than other popular cleaning products. It is applied for stain removal, germicidal mildew, or mild whitening effect.
These are more likely to be free of any aggravating or harmful effects, nature-friendly, and easy to make.
