Natural cleaners and green cleaning products are a smart way to clean your house the safe, non-toxic way. Take a look at these tips for green cleaning in your home with store-bought cleaning solutions, or try homemade cleaners for your kitchen, bathroom, toilet and windows.
Start With Green Cleaning Basics
Just
about every natural cleaning product uses the same cleaners your
grandma used. These ingredients aren't all completely safe -- keep them
away from kids and pets -- but they're less toxic than many commercial
cleaners, and a lot less costly. A good natural cleaning kit includes the following items:
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) -- gritty scrubber, also reacts with acids like lemon and vinegar
Borax -- disinfects, whitens and deodorizes
White vinegar -- disinfects and loosens dirt
Lemon juice -- disinfects, cuts through grease
Olive oil -- picks up dirt, polishes wood
Castile soap -- all-purpose foaming cleaner
Washing soda (sodium carbonate) -- a caustic cleaner, stain remover and laundry supplement
