Easy Natural Cleaning Remedies for Daily Kitchen Cleaning
Many people have allergies or sensitivities to cleaning products. Others believe that certain cleaning products contain toxins that can seep into the skin. You can wear gloves while cleaning but still be exposed to the residue left on surfaces. Rather than being exposed to toxins, it’s better to choose a healthier alternative for household cleaning and killing germs.
It’s wise to protect yourself by hiring an eco-friendly cleaning service. That way, you and your family members including your pets are safe. If you want to spend time cleaning up small messes, you can even make your own cleaners. Here are some easy DIY cleaners to make.
Scented All-Purpose Cleaner
Ingredients:
- One part white vinegar
- One part water
- Lemon rind
- Rosemary sprigs
Combine all the ingredients, then pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Shake the bottle and let the ingredients infuse for a week. Once they’re infused, use the cleaner for removing hard water stains, wiping away wall smudges and cleaning stubborn stains.
Kitchen Cleaner and Deodorizer
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons baking soda
- 1-quart warm water
Cleaning kitchen counters and inside the fridge is easy with a little baking soda. It’s also useful for deodorizing and cleaning the surfaces of stainless steel appliances. Simply put this solution on a clean sponge and start wiping.
Glass Cleaner
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of water
- 1/2 cup white or cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol 70% concentration
- 1 to 2 drops of orange essential oil for a fragrant scent (optional)
When you need to wash your windows and mirrors, pour all of these ingredients into a spray bottle. For mirrors, spray the solution on a paper towel before wiping it. Refrain from using the solution on a very hot day because it will leave streaks on windows.
Providing eco-friendly cleaners for your cleaning service is a healthy choice. Or you can hire a cleaning service that only uses green products. Then you can feel good about your home, knowing that every surface has been cleaned with products that keep you healthy.
