What are some environmentally friendly cleaning products?

Question

i was wondering what are some other ways to clean my house without using chemicals (such as Mr. Clean) and instead use natural products (like baking soda and vinegar). I dont want to buy any products, i just want to make my own. Any suggestions would help!

Answer 1

Chlorine bleach; kills every damned bug known to mankind. Those insipid vinegar and baking soda concoctions aren't gonna wipe out those really nasty bugs - especially now that the froot-loops have stopped being vaccinated, installed their own bacteria breeding grounds (sorry, rain water tanks), brought back pan toilets and other plague-inducing devices....

Answer 2

Borax

Baking Soda

Vinegar

Ammonia

Water (steam)

Sugar

Salt

Lemon juice

Answer 3

There are a lot of products in your home that are cleaning products too, such as:

- vinegar- it kills mould, viruses and bacteria

- baking soda: a natural deodorizer and a good cleaner too

- lemon juice: great for greased-on stuff

- Olive oil: a natural oil that helps to nourish and polish wood

-Use white vinegar to clean your floors, since white vinegar is an all-purpose cleaner, deodorizer and disinfectant.

-Mix salt with baking soda or lemon juice to clean tea and coffee stains in cups, or for removing red wine stains from tablecloths.

-For wood surfaces, combine three parts olive oil to one part white vinegar in a spray bottle, or one part lemon juice to two parts olive oil. Use on any wood surface, or use to clean fingerprints on stainless-steel surfaces.

-Mix water with white vinegar and pour solution into spray bottle. Use on walls, shower curtains, and tiles to help eliminate and prevent mould and mildew from re-emerging.

These are just a few, but i have more on my site if youre interested in more eco-friendly cleaning products or just want to look at some eco tips. hope these helped!

Answer 4

Sodium Bicarbonate and acetic acid are chemicals you could use, there's also dihydrogen monoxide but that's quite dangerous.

More realistically you need to get over your chemophobia and realise that pretty much everything is a chemical of some kind, even much of what you are composed of.

Here's a helpful site  http://www.eartheasy.com/live_nontoxic_s...

There's a spray bottle sold at stores linens n things that comes with recipes on the side and 3 microfiber wipes inside.

Microwave: a little baking soda in a little water in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, then wipe down.

Use 2 tbsp vinegar in laundry instead of fabric softener.

Another helpful thing is to use re-usable cloth wipes for cleaning instead of paper towels.  Newsprint from your junk mail works well on windows.

Answer 9

My primary cleaning supplies are natural soap (castille) vinegar and baking soda. I do use a store bought laundry soap and dishwasher soap. If you want some great natural recipes I would get the book "Green up your Clean up" by Jill Potvin Schoff. The book has a recipe for every cleaning job you can think of. She uses mostly common items, but there are a few items you will need to mail order. I'm still in the process of detoxing my cleaning, so I haven't tried everything yet.
