The art of cleaning with less toxic products is called green cleaning. It is not about the colour green, it is the idea of doing deep cleaning with natural ingredients that cause no harm, but remove all grime. Apart from the well-known vinegar and baking soda tips, there are other products that I bet you have never thought of cleaning with. Check the tips below – from vinegar to potatoes, they can all help you maintain your home spick and span.
You may be well-aware of the cleansing properties of vinegar. It can cut through grease as good as a harsh chemical will, but the main advantage is that vinegar is non-toxic. You can use it after dish-washing for giving the sparkling clean touch to cloudy glassware. Vinegar smells sour but the odour goes away when dry.
Baking soda is a perfect scrubbing agent. Mixed with water and salt it will eliminate coffee stains on mugs. Rubbing gently and rinsing will definitely bring the shine back.
Some strange ideas for deep cleaning, now. If you are eager to experiment, get a potato cut in half and dip the parts in baking soda or your favourite dish-washing soap. Now you have a rust-remover to use on your kitchen cookware and cutlery. If the potato becomes slick, slice up the surface, dip in a cleaning agent again and keep on polishing.
