Do-it-yourself cleaning products are safer and more natural with less harmful ingredients for your family's health and the environment. We all need to keep clean but at what expense. Commercially made household cleaners are not only costly and hard on the pocket-book, they are also hard on your health. More and more Canadians and North Americans are looking for alternate ways to clean their homes, businesses, cars, etc, without the harmful ingredients that can trigger asthma, allergies or other respiratory problems.
You can easily make your own cleaners using less-toxic ingredients such as:
baking soda
borax
hydrogen peroxide
lemon juice
vinegar
Plus hot water is a great, harmless cleaner as well!
Simple Natural Homemade Glass Cleaner
1/4 Cup White Vinegar
2 Cups Water
Another Simple Homemade Glass Cleaner
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 Cups Water
All-Purpose Cleaning Solution
1/2 cup Borax (in the laundry aisle of your grocery store)
1 gallon of hot water
TIP: If you want to have scented cleaners, add some lemon juice or a few drops of essential oil to your cleaning solution mixture. Lemon juice cuts grease, tea tree oil is an effective mold killer and lavender oil is a natural disinfectant.
Only you can prevent the chemicals that you use from swirling down the drain and into the eco-system where they end up in our waterways. A few simple changes can save you money and can save damage to our precious envoironment.
