Eco-Friendly Cleaning Tips
Planning on attacking your house with some deep cleaning? Here are a few eco-friendly tips we’ve discovered that you might find useful:
• make your own cleaning kit with everything you need to clean your house from top to bottom. Try to include the following: rubber gloves, bottle of white vinegar, pot scraper, scrubbing brush, tooth brush, j cloths, cotton rags/cloths, polish, feather duster.
• use vinegar to clear away heavy grease and soap scum
• place half a lemon in your dishwasher and it will make your dishes and glasses sparkle, its acidity will help remove any lime or residue from dishwashing powder
• use baking soda for tough tile grout stains or other heavy staining in the shower
• to remove messy melted tea lights from glass votives without the hassle of scraping with a knife, pop them in the freezer for an hour and they’ll slip right out
• to pick up small fragments of broken glass, press a slice of bread onto the area and it will gather up every single piece (myself & my friend Aine learned this one from Anthea Turner and it really works!)
• place a few drops of lavender or your favourite essential oil near the vent of your hoover to release a fresh scent into your room
• to mask unpleasant kitchen smells, place some coffee beans in a saucepan and burn them. The strong smell of coffee will overpower the other smells
• to clean the microwave, add four tablespoons of lemon juice to a cup of water in a bowl and boil in the microwave for five minutes. The steam will loosen the residue and grease on the inside walls of the microwave. Then just wipe away with a damp cloth
• to remove fingerprints from stainless steel appliances, add a small drop of baby oil onto a cotton cloth and wipe away
• to get rid of the smell of garlic from your hands, rub them against stainless steel (your sink) and then wash your hands with soap
• to remove furniture indentations from pure wool carpet, place a tea towel over the area and press with a warm iron. The heat will lift the fibres. (don’t use on wool/synthetic mix or synthetic carpets)
• always keep a pair of rubber gloves in the bathroom for cleaning the toilet only-never use the same gloves for cleaning the toilet to clean anywhere else!
Happy Cleaning!
Hi there to all, how is the whole thing, I think every one is getting more from this site, and your views are
nice in support of new people.
My brother recommended I might like this website. He used to be entirely right.
This submit actually made my day. You can not imagine just how a lot time I had spent for this information!
Thanks!
