Natural Cleaning Products For Your Home

If you are looking to save money on cleaning products and still have a sparkling home. It is easy to make your own cleaners using items in your pantry. Making your own is also better for the environment as they don't leach phosphates and chemicals into our waterways.

The main items you need are :


With these ingredients you can make a few different household cleaners.



Bi carb is a great all purpose cleanser and the gritty texture makes it ideal for scrubbing sinks and shower screens. For easy use, I make up a paste using bi carb and a little water. Stir until it becomes thick and store in a sealed container. Add a little on a cloth and scrub that shower grime away! I also like to apply the paste to my shower screen and leave it to dry, then buff with a dry cloth.



Vinegar is a great natural mould inhibitor. Place undiluted vinegar in a spray bottle and you can just spray this on the tiles and grout after using the shower.

Sink drains can sometimes get smelly. Avoid odors by tipping some bicarb down the drain and follow with a splash of vinegar. The chemical reaction of the acid and alkaline ingredients dissolves any gunk and gets rid of foul smells.



Kitchen counter sprays tend to smell good but they are really of little benefit. Instead use a spray bottle and try this recipe:


Personally I prefer this than the store bought ones which tend to trigger my family's asthma and allergies.
