Recipes to clean the house without chemicals
While the companies that manufacture cleaning products denials, several studies have suggested a connection between these products and certain health problems . So many people prefer to buy organic or green, but unfortunately these tend to cost more money and sometimes do not perform well. But cleaning does not have to be toxic or expensive: almost the whole house can be cleaned (and disinfected) with three or four common and inexpensive ingredients.
Floors
Dissolve three tablespoons of baking soda in two quarts of warm water. Add half a cup of vinegar and two teaspoons of pine essential oil. The combination of vinegar and baking soda is disinfectant and pine essential oil. If you need an antifungal solution, you can also add a teaspoon of essential oil of citronella and other essential oil of lavender . If you find it more convenient, you can make a larger quantity to bottle the mixture, you can save up to three months in a cool dark place. Shake the mixture well before using. The amounts of oil can be adjusted to your tastes, keeping at least 10 drops of each.
Bath and shower
Use the same mixture as flooring. To wash a tub or shower tiles moldy, wet the surface with the floor cleaner and then cover it with baking soda or borax, leave a few minutes and scrub with a sponge or brush.
Windows
Instead of buying a chemical cleaner for windows in your house, you can use water and sheets of newspaper. Dip a piece of newspaper and scrub the glass, then dry it with another sheet of dry newspaper.
If the glass is very soiled, you can use a sponge with soap or baking soda and water and then clean with newspaper.
