5 Ways To Clean Your House Naturally

Cleaning a house naturally is not any more difficult than cleaning it with harsh chemicals. It improves indoor air quality and is much safer, especially for children.

Switching to homemade DIY cleaners might sound like a lot more work, but it’s actually quite simple. The ingredients are easy to come by and last a long time.

* Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner

Four ingredients and thirty seconds to mix it up is all it takes! Customize the scent with essential oils.

* Glass Cleaner

No need for that bright blue, highly scented stuff … vinegar + water cuts through dirt and leaves glass streak-free.

* Tile Grout Cleaner

Mix 1 part water and 3 parts baking soda mixed into a paste. Apply to grout and let sit, scrub with toothbrush, remove with sponge.

* Cookware

Use sea salt or coarse salt mixed with a little lemon juice and scrub. Also, try baking soda and water made into a paste. This also works well on stained tea cups or coffee mugs, and even the cutting board.

* Fabric Softener

Mix 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water together. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup to the final rinse cycle.
