Enviromentally Friendly Household Cleaners

Lots of chemicals that we buy in ready made products for use

around the house are extremely nasty. Lots of them give our

irritating fumes and are dangerous to touch, and if they leach in

to the environment or are not disposed of correctly, they can

cause damage to the environment.

Therefore why not make use of the fact that there are many

products around the house that you already have that are good for

cleaning and that you should be able to harness to make your

household cleaner with these DIY products!

Here are some really useful basic items that you can use to make

the appropriate cleaner for you:

Baking soda

This is great for scrubbing

Borax

This is really good for removes smells and so is good in the

laundry, in addition it also helps to disinfect

Normal vinegar

Great for cleaning and giving a shine when added to the water

used to clean windows for instance

Olive oil

Good for collecting dirt and a little bit on wood gives a nice

polish effect

Lemon

Great for dissolving grease due to the acid contents
