Healthy Mind Healthy Body Chapter 5: Use Natural Cleaning Products

Synopsis

Save income, assist the environment and keep your home safe and healthy by cleansing with homemade, non-toxic cleaning products. You likely already have many of the components in your kitchen or laundry room. These homemade cleaners work as well as commercial products bearing adverse chemicals and toxins, but you might need to implement more exertion. Just make sure to label your containers so you recognize what’s what when it’s time to clean.

Go Natural

Bath cleanser: Create a scrubbing cleanser for your tub and bath sink by pouring one-half cup of baking soda into a glass jar and adding together enough mild liquid dish soap to form a compact paste. Utilize a sponge to rub the spread into the soiled surface and rinse it clean. If you’ve got a leftover cleanser, keep it from running dry by adding a teaspoon of vegetable glycerin and putting it in a closed jar.

Scrub with lemon: Trim a lemon in one-half, dip it in borax and utilize it as a scrubber for sinks, countertops, and any cabinets. The alkali in borax will cut grime, oil, and grease, while the acid in lemons will assault soap scum and hard water sediments.

Banning mold: Both tea tree oil and vinegar work advantageously against mold. Tea tree oil costs more, but goes a long way; vinegar is good, but a few individuals are set back by the odor, which finally dissipates. In a spray bottle, shake-up two teaspoonfuls of tea tree oil and two cups water; or fill the spray bottle with white vinegar, diluting it with water if you want. Spray either cleanser on moldy areas, let it dry out, and wipe with a moist cloth. Do not rinse the surface.

Cleansing toilets: Drizzle white vinegar and lemon juice into the toilet bowl then spatter in baking soda. Let the mixture sit in the bowl for ten minutes before you bush the bowl with a toilet brush. Then flush the bowl.

Cleansing the oven: Dampen the oven floor, cover it with a generous quantity of baking soda, splash with a couple of drops of water and let the mixture sit overnight. In the morning, utilize a wet sponge with a splash of liquid dish soap to tidy up the relaxed goo.

Window cleaner: Modest liquid dish soap will help break up the wax buildup from commercial window cleansers. Shake-up one-half teaspoon liquid dish soap, three tablespoonfuls white vinegar, and two cups water in a spray bottle. Spray it on the glass and rub it with a dry, lint-free rag or paper towel.

All-Purpose cleansers: Fill up a spray bottle with one-half teaspoon washing soda, a little squirt of liquid dish soap, and hot tap water. Shake up until the washing soda is dissolved and apply with a sponge, rag, or paper towel. As an alternative, dissolve 1 teaspoonful liquid dish soap in 1 quart of water, then add 1 teaspoonful of vinegar. Because the vinegar will nullify the alkali in the soap, don’t add it till after the soap has combined with the water.
