Spring is approaching us slowly and everything around us starts to bloom. However, the sun's rays are relentless on our households and reveal shortcomings. It's high time to start spring cleaning. We certainly don't lack determination, but it's a different story with cleaners. Genuine ecological cleaners are rare, and in many cases, the price quickly deters us. Other cleaners can only boast aggressive chemicals that do not have a positive effect on our health. Therefore, we have several ideas for homemade cleaners that will surprise you with their strength.
Radiant household with ease
With our ecological cleaners, you will definitely not need a fortune or a multitude of unknown ingredients. For a radiant household, you will need:
- 1/4 cup of baking soda (a cup represents a container with a volume of 250 ml)
- 1/2 cup of vinegar
- 2 liters of water
By mixing these ingredients, you get a mixture that will help you polish mirrors and windows. The advantage is that you can enrich your cleaner with a fragrance you like. Drip an essential oil into the mixture according to your own preferences and scent the whole household.
Baking soda and vinegar are irreplaceable helpers in every household. If you mix them in a 1:1 ratio and pour the whole mixture into a spray bottle, you get a mixture that will help you get rid of carpet stains. In this case, however, we recommend omitting the essential oil. You can also clean toilets easily - go for 1 cup of vinegar mixed with a teaspoon of tea tree oil. Spray the toilet with the mixture and let it act for a few minutes. Then apply 1/2 cup of baking soda to the toilet and clean thoroughly. The result will surprise you.
Disinfection without stress? Lemon juice will help
If you have used cleaners in your household to disinfect certain surfaces, you don't have to give up on it even when it comes to ecological cleaning. Lemon juice is a great solution - it can handle most bacteria found in the household. A tip for the end? If you plan to polish wooden surfaces, go for olive oil. It's a real miracle.
