Cleaning DIY Berni Pakot, Anna Caleta Cleaning with Zero Waste principles is easy, cheap and not harmful for the environment. It uses only a few basic ingredients: baking soda, white vinegar, soap and essential oils. You can also make rags and scrubbers!
DIY dust rags, washcloths and scrubbers The first rule of the 5 Rs is to Refuse – refuse to buy cleaning cloths when you can make them at home (Reuse)! It’s as easy as cutting up worn-out clothing (T-shirts, PJs, blouses), bedsheets, towels – honestly any textile could work that you’d otherwise throw away. It could be cotton, linen, hemp or silk. You can use them for drying the dishes and cleaning all kinds of surfaces – floors, windows, countertops ... If you are feeling fancy and have a sewing machine, you can make them more durable by seaming the edges so they don’t fray. If you have basic crochet or knitting skills, you can make a scrubber using jute or hemp rope using basic stitches. It is up to you whether you make it round or rectangular. They are perfect for scrubbing pots and pans! When dirty, toss them in the washing machine or dishwasher.12
