Going green when it comes to cleaning is a great idea, especially if you have children, or pets. Using all natural, chemical-free cleaning products gives you a safer, healthier, more eco-friendly clean. Using those commercial cleaners that contain harmful chemicals can be dangerous. Think making the switch is hard? Think again! There are so many great alternatives to chemical cleaning around your home! Most the the things you would use to substitute are, most likely, right in your home!

 

Clean Your Toilet Naturally

Commercial toilet bowl cleaner always has a pretty pungent odor, and some of those store-bought cleaners contain bleach. Not only is bleach not good for the porcelain that your toilet is likely made of, but it can also be dangerous if inhaled. Instead, take a mixture of vinegar and essential oils, and spray it into your toilet. After letting this set for a few minutes, sprinkle in some baking soda and scrub.

 

All Natural Window Cleaner

If you don’t know by now, vinegar is a super cleaner and can be used to clean so many different things, and so many different surfaces. Even glass! Simply make a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water in a spray bottle, spray your glass and wipe clean with a soft clean towel.

 

How to Naturally Clean Hardwood Floors

Did you know you can clean your hardwood floors with tea bags? That’s right! They clean your wood floors while also adding a bit of shine and luster. How? Boil some water, and let a couple of bags of Black tea soak, for several minutes. You are basically just brewing yourself some tea – only instead of drinking it, soak a clean rag in it, wring it out, and wash your floors.

 

Chemical-Free Air Fresheners

Commercial air fresheners that you get from the store, usually contain chemicals. Some of which can actually be harmful if inhaled. The solution is simple: make some yourself! Homemade air fresheners are quick, easy, and inexpensive. And there are so many different fragrances you can make! With some water, your favorite essential oils, and some witch hazel, you are all set to DIY. Combine 50% witch hazel with 50% water and a few drops of essential oil into a spray bottle and spray.

 

Natural Stainless Steel Cleaner

An alternative for cleaning your stainless steel is probably the simplest of all! Simply fill a spray bottle with undiluted white vinegar. Spray onto your stainless steel appliances, and with a gentle touch, wipe with the direction of the grain.

 

Alternatives to chemical cleaning products are easy to find and easy to use; so the next time you want to reach for those chemical filled cleaners, opt to go natural instead. For the low cost of a few minutes of your time, you can easily find a substitute for most anything, that will clean safely, and naturally.
