Creating your own sustainable cleaner is as easy as raiding the kitchen pantry. Here are three everyday ingredients that get the job done.
White Vinegar
White Vinegar is a natural cleaner that has been used safely for centuries. The
active ingredient in White Vinegar is acetic acid which is derived from plants.
It has cleaning, descaling and deodorising properties.
Long regarded as a
powerhouse cleaner which can kill bacteria, germs and mould. White Vinegar also breaks down soap scum and
water stains. It leaves your windows and mirrors clean and streak-free.
To
eliminate soap scum and mildew in your shower, simply spray the affected area
with White Vinegar, leave to treat for a few minutes and then wipe away.
Bicarbonate of Soda
Bicarbonate of Soda is a traditional cleaning product that is favoured for its deodorising
and mild abrasive properties - not to be confused with Baking Soda - which also
contains sticky raising agents for baking.
Bicarbonate
of Soda absorbs odours very well. Its gritty texture makes it the best soft
scrub you can use. Deodorise your upholstery by sprinkling some Bicarbonate of
Soda over your sofa, mattresses and rugs. Allow to sit for at least an hour or
overnight and then vacuum off.
Liquid Soap Flakes
Liquid Soap Flakes contain only pure soap with no additives or fragrances, making them
a great choice particularly if you have sensitive skin. No residue is left on
fabrics or in the detergent drawer making for simple cleaning power.
Liquid
Soap Flakes do not contain any animal products and have not been tested on
animals, making them suitable for vegans. In addition, they do not contain palm
oil – the soap comes from rapeseed and sunflower oil.
Make An All-Purpose Scrub Cleaner
Make
an amazing scrub cleaner by mixing some all natural Liquid Soap Flakes with
Bicarbonate of Soda to form a paste. Use this to scrub on the bottom of pans,
sinks, tubs and areas that need a little extra help.
