Cleaning Natural - Tips

Cut up used t-shirts as cleaning rags. Since these are soft, they are ideal for washing glass and windows without leaving a scratch. They can also be used for grimy jobs in which you wish to dispose of the rag afterward.

Mix a natural cleaning solution by mixing one part vinegar to one part water in an empty spray bottle. It is safe to use on hard surfaces in the kitchen, bathroom and even in the children's play area. Vinegar can also be used to degrease dirty pots and pans.

Baking soda is a household item that serves many purposes. You can stick it in your fridge to keep it smelling clean or you can create a paste with water and apply it to your showerhead to keep it flowing smoothly and eliminate rust.

When vacuuming your carpet, skip the carpet deodorizer powder or spray. Instead, sprinkle dried lavender on your carpet and vacuum it up. A lovely scent will be emitted into the room and lavender is a natural disinfectant.

Club soda is household cleaning remedy used to remove stains. If you drop wine on the carpet or spill spaghetti sauce on your shirt, dab a rag with club soda and rub on the stain. If caught early, the club soda should lift the stain right up.

Don't underestimate the power of hot water. Boiling water can disinfect items naturally, such as baby bottles, children toys and other plastic items.
