Nature's Best Disinfectant

Have you ever used natural products for cleaning? Do you know which is the best natural disinfectant? What do you use for disinfecting at home? Bleach? Do you know that it is dangerous for your health? Read on to learn what to replace it with.

The best natural disinfectant, or the so called “nature's best disinfectant” is the lemon. It is a wonderful fruit, used not only for flavouring, cooking and in cocktails, but for cleaning as well. Its acidic properties make it a fantastic natural bleaching product and a disinfectant as good as chlorine-based bleach.

Here are a few cleaning recipes with lemons, from Cleaner London, which you can use in your housecleaning process:

Window cleaner – fill in a bowl with water and squeeze two lemons in it. Pour the solution in a squirt bottle, so that you can apply it more easily, and shake well before spraying the windows. Use a newspaper to wipe the windows and they will become shining clean. If you add a teaspoon of baking soda to this solution, you can even use it to clean the tiles in your bathroom.

Microwave oven cleaner – again fill in a bowl with water and squeeze or cut a lemon in it. Put the bowl in the appliance and set the timer on 4 minutes. The steam from the lemon/water solution will loosen up all stains and dirt, so you'll be able to wipe them only with a damp sponge.

Lemon juice mixed with baking soda makes a great sink and faucets polisher. In fact this mixture is good enough to clean your toilet, too. The abrasive properties of the bicarbonate of soda will remove the stains and the acidic properties of the lemon juice will kill all bacteria and germs.

These three recipes are only a small part of what you can clean with lemons. If you want to learn more like them, I suggest that you browse the Internet or consult with some deep cleaning services provider. Professional cleaners know everything about cleaning, and will explain you better about the cleaning properties of lemons.
