If you switch to chemical-free home-made cleaning products, you will not only make your home a safer place, but you will also save yourself a ton of money. Because all you really need to make them, are simple ingredients, that most likely are already in your pantry – baking soda, lemon juice, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, water, and dish soap, and essential oils. For a perfect spring cleaning, Perfect Cleaning Services London would recommend making yourself a few cleaning products that will help you efficiently get rid of the dirt, dust and grease. A few simple DIY cleaning products will go a long way. So here are some very useful recipes you can do. For the bathroom - to scrub clean the shower and tub, mix together baking soda with a bit of liquid dish soap (or castile soap). It will get rid of soap scum and dirt. For a bathroom disinfectant, you can mix 2 cups of water, 3 tablespoons of liquid soap, and 20-30 drops of tea tree oil. The tea tree oil has anti-bacterial and anti-fungus properties that will disinfect your bathroom ideally. If you have problems with mildew, here is an easy way to get rid of it for good – spray the infected are with pure white vinegar, let it sit for about 30-40 minutes, and you can rinse it or not, the vinegar smell will be gone either way. Kitchen appliances, such as microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker. All you need to do is turn for help to our multi-purpose friend – white vinegar. In a bowl, mix vinegar and water, put it in the microwave, heat for a couple of minutes so that the heat helps loosen grease. Then simply wipe with a rag, and you will have a sparkling clean microwave. And the same can be done with your dishwasher – put only the bowl in the dishwasher and let it run its course. It will ideally clean it on the inside, and you can rest assure that your dishes are cleaned properly. And the coffee maker, too, add vinegar and water in its water compartment and let it run. Once it has been cleaned, run a few courses only with water to remove the taste of vinegar (note that it might not work with all kinds of coffee makers). And for the enemy of all households – oven cleaning. Simply spray your oven with warm water then put a thick layer of backing soda, let it sit for a couple of hours, and then scrub gently with a sponge. And wipe dry with a cloth. The backing soda will not only clean, but also deodorise your oven. Here is a nice recipe for an all-purpose cleaner, to be used on every surface, with essential
oils: -several drops of tea tree or eucalyptus essential oil (for disinfecting) -1/4cup of white vinegar -several drops of another essential oil, with a scent of your choice -warm water -2 tablespoons of baking soda And of course, there are many simple chemical-free recipes, and ways to mix these ingredients to make yourself all the necessary for a spring cleaning cleaning products.
