Be Good to the Planet – How to Best Take Care of Your Home, Eco-Friendly Style
Avoid Big Brand Cleaning Products Whenever Possible
There’s something comforting about going into your local supermarket, and being able to choose from a range of different cleaning products.
It’s nice to have a choice about which stain remover, flea eliminator or toilet cleaner to use, isn’t it? That is until you look at the fine print and notice that all of these convenient cleaning products in question are harmful to the health of your family and home.
When it comes to the health of your family, nothing is more important than the condition of your furniture and flooring. And, nothing can harm the health of your loved ones more quickly than a toxic (but oh-so-convenient!) big brand home cleaner. Save yourself the hassle, and learn to make some simple do-it-yourself cleaners, instead.
Make Your Own Bleach
Store bought bleach can contain harmful ingredients to your family’s health. Here’s a great way to keep your home free of mayhem and mildew: combine 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice, with ¾ cup of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. Add about ten drops of lavender oil (lemon is a good choice too) and mix well. This do-it-yourself mixture is a great way to have bleach on hand whenever you need it. It makes 4 litres and perfect for those bathroom spills and stains you need to clean up, pronto!
The Dilly-O on Do-It-Yourself Disinfectant
There’s something about having a do-it-yourself disinfectant on hand that just makes you feel like a supermom (or super dad!) It’s cheap to do and lasts longer than the store bought brand. Here’s how to get it done: you’ll need a spray bottle and some ingredients that you already have on hand.
Mix together 2 cups of cold water, 20 drops of tea tree oil, 1 teaspoon of dish soap and ½ cup of white vinegar. Pour all ingredients into a spray bottle and shake vigorously. Done!
