Natural & Non-Toxic: Your Guide to a Green Cleaning Caddy
Reduce chemical exposure and save money by creating your own powerful, natural cleaning solutions. We’ll show you how to assemble a simple green cleaning caddy for a sparkling home.
All-purpose spray: Mix one part white vinegar with one part water in a spray bottle. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (like lemon or tea tree) for a fresh scent. This works wonders on countertops, sinks, and other hard surfaces.
Glass cleaner: Combine one cup of water, one cup of vinegar, and one teaspoon of cornstarch for a streak-free window and mirror cleaner. The cornstarch acts as a mild abrasive to remove grime.
Scrubbing paste: Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to create a paste for tough scrubbing jobs in the sink, tub, or grout.
The power of lemons: Use the leftover halves of a lemon to scrub cutting boards or rub a faucet to remove hard water stains.
“At the end of the day”: A clean home doesn't have to come at the expense of your health or the environment. These simple, natural hacks are proof that powerful cleaning can be green and budget-friendly.
