With the natural and green solutions, you can ensure a safer and cleaner home for you and protect the environment at the same time. In this article, we will talk about some effective natural cleaning solutions that keep dirt, germ, as well as toxic substances out of your home.

1. Kitchen Cleaner

Baking soda is one of those cleaning ingredients that can be easily found in the pantry and it really packs a powerful punch. It’s easy to use, fast and also relatively cheap. To prepare an effective cleaning solution, mix four tablespoons of baking soda with 1 quart of warm water.

Soak a sponge or lint-free cloth in this solution and use it to clean the kitchen counter, appliances, stainless steel sink. It also works as a wonderful deodorizer to keep your kitchen smelling clean and fresh.

2. Cleaning Handheld Steamer

We use the handheld steamer to get rid of the stubborn gunk, dirt, and germs from every nook and corner of the house, but the appliance needs cleaning as well. You can see white hard water marks inside the tank and other stains that make your steamer look uncool.

3. Cleaning Bathroom Tiles And Glass

There’s no denying that distilled white vinegar is one of the most affordable and versatile cleaning products that you can find. When mixed with baking soda, the cleaning ability increases exponentially. You can use this solution to clean floors, bathrooms, glass, fabrics, stains, dishes, and more.

5. Carpet Cleaning Recipe

The carpet takes a lot of beating throughout the day and it silently absorbs it all – dirt from paws, food drops, liquid spills, accidental pet spraying, and so on. Besides the dust and dirt, the carpet is also subjected to mold growth and bacteria.

Here’s one of my favorite green cleaning recipes for refreshing carpet – one cup of baking soda with ten drops of any essential oil. Sprinkle the solution over the carpet and let it sit overnight. Next morning, use a vacuum cleaner to suck out all the dirt, germ, and large particles along with the dried cleaning solution.
