When it comes to keeping your living space presentable and sanitary this can sometimes feel like a daunting task !
It would seems as if there are always more cleaning projects than their is time in the day!
Day-to-day upkeep is a must, not to mention those bigger tasks(such as washing the windows or getting the dust out of the curtains) that must be tackled at least once a year.
But don't worry!
The Fantastic Four cleaners -- vinegar, salt, lemon juice, and baking soda -- can make your household tasks less complicated and easier on you while not having a serious impact on the environment. While sometimes it may feel like you live in your kitchen, bathroom or bedroom exclusively, let's take a look around the rest of your home. It's time to grab your green cleaning kit and get cracking!
First up, learn how to clean glass and mirrors in an all-natural way.
Forget ammonia-based window cleaners! The windows in your home can be effectively cleaned with 4 tablespoons lemon juice mixed with a half gallon of water. Other effective cleaners for glass and mirrors are rubbing alcohol and witch hazel.
Another excellent tip is that old-fashioned household hint books often mention and that is you can wipe windows clean with newspapers. While this may sound like a totally green idea -- after all, you'd be reusing newspapers and saving on paper towels -- the reality is that doing so is a messy and big waste of time. Try using a clean, lint-free rag instead, perhaps an old cotton T-shirt or cloth diaper.
