Our cleaning products are some of the most toxic products we use on a daily basis. From bleach in the bathroom to the soap on our dishes. While we think we are making things cleaner for us and our loved ones and making our homes more pleasant to live in… we are actually making it worse.
Slowly harming ourselves, we are, hmm. 🙂
Here are FIVE natural products you can use to replace your old toxic cleaners:
Natural cleaning products:Â
- Baking Soda – It’s gentle, but it works great for picking up dirt and grim. Great for tubs, appliances, sinks, plastic and even teeth! It also can help get rid of smells because of it’s ability to neutralize odors instead of just masking them.
- Vinegar – The acidity in vinegar makes it very effective for counteracting lots of icky buildup (soap scum in the bathtub is one of my favorites). Though it is effective, vinegar can have too strong of a smell for many people, which brings me two the next two products! 🙂
- Orange oil – Can be a great help against stubborn grease stains, and it smells really good while it’s working, too. ;P
- Lemon oil – Eliminates odors and gives off an invigorating fragrance. Cutting up some lemons and running them through the garbage disposal can make your sink smell pretty nice. 🙂
Cleaning is not always fun. How many of us can say we wake up every day super excited for a day of cleaning? No one? Thought so.
But having the better products, for your house and body, CAN actually make it a bit more enjoyable. So gather your products and go… have fun cleaning! 😀
