 
3 All Natural Cleaning Solutions
Vinegar. A natural product that poses
no chemical or toxic harm to your family, vinegar is a natural
cleaning solution that can be used as an all-purpose cleaner
for most any household cleaning jobs.
(NOTE: Always test a small area if you have any doubt or
concern about the surface you plan to apply vinegar/water
to.)
With an equal mix of vinegar to water, its a great cleaner
for floors, kitchen cabinets, countertops, sinks, appliances
and the inside of your refrigerator.
Vinegar is also an effective natural cleaner for the
bathroom. Its great for cleaning through soap scum and stubborn
hard water stains in sinks and toilets. Again, test on tile
and/or grout areas before use. You can also use to achieve a
streak-free cleaning on all mirrors and glass surfaces.
Of course, organic produce is always the
best choice, but when its not an option, vinegar can help.
Thats right! A few tablespoons of vinegar to a sink or
bucket full of water, washes away pesticides, chemicals
and germs from non-organic fruits and vegetables. Soak the
produce for 15-30 minutes before using.
Baking Soda. Another all natural product thats inexpensive
yet an effective all natural cleaner and deodorizer. Mixed with
a small amount of water the baking soda paste can be used to
scrub stubborn stains from most any surfaces. Its also a great
natural teeth cleaner and whitener as well as a natural
deodorizer in closets, refrigerators and freezers.
And the third natural cleaning solution I found many
household cleaning tasks for is lemon. Its natural, smells
great and combined with baking soda is a very effective
cleaner.
Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle it with baking soda and you
have an all natural scrubbing solution for dishes, countertops,
stubborn stains and soap scums. Lemon also cleans brass and
copper and when combined with olive oil can be used on wood as
an all natural furniture cleaner.
So there you have 3 very simple,
inexpensive and effective all natural cleaning solutions.
Vinegar, Baking Soda and Lemons.
Chances are, you already have these items in your home so
the next time you reach for a toxic cleaning solution, think
twice, and try going all natural!
