ORGANIC CLEANING HACKS

• Vinegar and Water Solution
  • Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Use this solution to clean glass surfaces, mirrors, and even as a fabric freshener. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and deodorizer.
• Baking Soda for Carpet Cleaning
  • Sprinkle baking soda on your carpets and let it sit for at least 15 minutes or overnight for deep odors. Vacuum it up to remove odors and freshen the carpet.
• Lemon as a Natural Polish
  • Use a lemon half dipped in salt to clean and polish wooden furniture naturally. The lemon acts as a natural bleaching agent, while the salt is a gentle abrasive.
• Essential Oil Diffuser
  • Instead of commercial air fresheners, use an essential oil diffuser with a few drops of your favorite essential oils like lavender, lemon, or peppermint to naturally freshen the air.
• Olive Oil for Wood Surfaces
  • Create a natural furniture polish by mixing two parts olive oil with one part lemon juice. Apply it to wood surfaces using a soft cloth to clean and polish.
• Cornstarch for Window Cleaning
  • Mix cornstarch with water to create a natural window cleaner that leaves a streak-free finish. This solution is especially good for glass and mirrored surfaces.
• Tea Tree Oil for Disinfecting
  • Add a few drops of tea tree oil to your cleaning solutions for its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it great for sanitizing surfaces.
• Microfiber Cloths
  • Use microfiber cloths for dusting and cleaning. They trap dust and dirt effectively and can be washed and reused, reducing waste.
• Castile Soap for General Cleaning
  • Dilute liquid castile soap in water for a versatile and mild cleaning solution for floors, walls, and other surfaces.
