Cleaning Products (Do-It-Yourself)

By Hklbrries

To remove mineral buildup on sinks, dishwashers, shower walls, bathtubs and coffee pots, mix 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar or lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon plant-based liquid soap (available in health food store and some supermarkets) and 1/4 cup warm water in a spray bottle. This cleaner SHOULDN'T be used on fiberglass, aluminum or no-wax floors.

To clean rugs and carpet, sprinkled baking soda on the surface to absorb odors. Leav on overnight. Sweep up as much as you can with a broom and dustpan, then vacuum thoroughly. Finish the job by steam cleaning with an extractor filled with a mixture of 1/4 cup concentrated, all-purpose, unscented liquid cleaner and four gallons of water

To help eliminate mold and mildew, combine 2 teaspoons of tea tree essential oil, 1/2 teaspoon liquid, plant-based, all-purpose soap and 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. Spray on surface, and wait 2 days before rinsing with water.

For a natural furniture polish, mix 1/2 teaspoon olive oil with 1/4 cup vinegar or fresh lemon juice in a glass jar. Polish furniture with a soft cloth moistened with this solution.

Always:

Wear gloves

Maintain proper ventilation

Test first in a small, inconspicuous area

Handle essential oils carefully, as they can irritate skin and eyes on contact

Store cleaners in clearly labeled, airtight containers or spray bottles, out of reach of children and pets
