There are some heavy-duty cleaning chemicals on the market these days. While they promise to take the hard work out of cleaning, many of them are full of bleach and other toxic chemicals that can have adverse effects on family health. But you don’t have to compromise your health for cleanliness. Here are some excellent DIY chemical-free cleaning ideas.
Straight from the Pantry
There are a number of products in your pantry that will double as excellent cleaning products. Baking soda cleans and deodorizes surfaces, and has proven virus-killing capacity – it also has the ability to cut through grease. Naturally acidic, vinegar will wipe out oil and grease, soap scum and dirt while lemon juice smells nice, adds sheen to hard surfaces and works wonders to get rid of mildew and mould. And good old fashioned olive oil acts as a great polisher.
