Well ... I really care about the environment and recently I discoverd first hand how dangerous cleaner chemicals are. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips on natural cleaners ( detergent,floor/wood cleaner,ect ) For example I heard lemon and viniger is a great detergent.. things like that ... I really would appreciate the advice. Peace<3 Katy
Baking soda works great as a deodorizer (just make sure you get it all out because it will leave a film if you miss it) & tea tree is anti-fungal. & Definately check out Dr. Bronner's Magic soaps...natural & you can clean ANYTHING with them (even yourself!!). Linseed oil gets wood shiney, but I heard it smells, so I dunno. That's all I can think of. But yeah baking soda is GREAT on pans. Nonstick pans are terrible for you, so I use stainless steel...but the gunk sticks. So I boil off all the gunk with water on the stove & if anything is left baking soda is a great abrasive. Just a tip. Oh! & consider going natural with hygiene products too. Sorry, chems just freak me out .... Greenpeace ruined my simple ignorance. Hope I helped a tad.
For my windows and furnitures, I use a ½ water, ½ vinegar mix. It does smell like salt and vinegar chips, but some incense take care of that.
