The Coolest Homemade Bath Remedies
The safest and best way is to make your own cleaning product.
To prepare a bathroom cleaner you will need:
- 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide;
- 1-2 teaspoons of soap (you can use liquid soap);
- Half a glass of soda.
This mixture must be mixed well and, using a damp sponge, applied to all types of dirt.
Also, this mixture can be left on the dirt for a while (10 - 15 minutes so that it is well absorbed), after which it is necessary to wash it off using a sponge or brush for a better “fight” with impurities.
If necessary, you can change the percentage of ingredients, getting a more unitary (suitable specifically for your bathroom) cleaning product.
By changing the recipe, you can get a wider range of uses for the product or change its properties. For example, you can add more soap, which will give a “soapy, bubbly effect.”
How to carefully clean the kitchen
To safely clean your kitchen, you will need the following ingredients:
- Half a tube of good toothpaste;
- 2-3 tablespoons of table soda;
- Water.
It is necessary to make a homogeneous paste from the ingredients by mixing them, which can be applied to all kitchen surfaces. It “works” well with grease and dried steam streaks, and also adds shine to the glossy surface and a light mint aroma (included in toothpaste).
This all-purpose cleaner can be used to gently clean most kitchen surfaces.
General cleaning will retain its effect longer if you prepare the mixture in advance and let it brew for about a day - during this time, deeper diffusion (dissolution) of the ingredients will occur in each other, which will give better cleansing effect.
The best folk remedies for upholstered furniture
Upholstered furniture is a place for bacteria and microbes to live. The emphasis in a safe folk cleaning product must be on disinfection, which will prevent the proliferation of microorganisms and reduce their level, also remove unpleasant odors and clean the surface.
For cleaning you will need:
- Sponge;
- Isopropyl alcohol;
- Baking soda;
- Water.
You need to apply a small amount of alcohol to the sponge, add a pinch of soda and wait until the soda dissolves or acquires a “wet” white color. This sponge should be used to treat contaminated areas. After completing the procedure, rinse with more and more water to get rid of the smell of alcohol and soda. The alcohol particles will prevent future contamination.
How to clean household appliances without chemicals
Household appliances also need cleaning.
It can be:
- Microwaves;
- Fridge;
- Coffee makers, electric kettles, etc.
The peculiarity of cleaning household appliances is that the cleaning agent should not enter the diet of humans or animals. Or all ingredients must be natural, safe and easily digestible.
You will need:
- A few pieces of black bread;
- Lemon slices;
- Activated carbon
- Water.
The bread must be crushed into small pieces and, with the help of water, “turned” into a thick porridge. Add lemon juice and crushed charcoal (2-3 tablets) to this porridge. Mix everything until smooth and, using a rag or sponge, clean the household appliances.
Coal and lemon have an antibacterial effect, and bread has a viscous consistency, which will help in the fight against fat and dust deposits.
Knowing a few simple, uncomplicated recipes and tips, you can completely carry out general cleaning of your home without the use of “chemicals”!
