I don't use toxic laden chemicals in our house, for health reasons, but it also saves us heaps of money, that's a win,win good for our health and our bank balance. Vinegar is such a great cleaning agent, I half fill our spray bottle with white home brand vinegar and half with water. Great for cleaning windows, mirrors, benches, ovens, stove top, wiping out the sink and draining area. So I recommend stop using deadly toxic cleaning products in your homes, and try using vinegar. Make up a few bottles and keep them in the relative rooms, bathroom,laundry & kitchen. Most of the time I just use water, but some times we need something a little stronger. Also great to use as a fabric softener and it also cleans all the soap scum from the washing machine. I don't have a dishwasher but I have heard people using it for a rinse aid in their dishwashers. A great way to clean your toilets and drains, you put about a cup of vinegar and about a cup of bi-cab it will all fizz up, put lid down or plug in and leave overnight if possible or as long as possible.I also use it to wipe over door handles, also light switches, but I spray some on the cloth then wipe over light switches. What other uses around the house do people use vinegar for, please post and share them with us.
Good reminder about using vinegar. A while ago I was using vinegar and bicarb all the time.... must get back into the habit again.
ReplyDeleteGreat post coffee is on.
ReplyDeleteHi yes yes yes i use vinegar and bi-carb for cleaning , also i make my own laundry detergent the liquid version and a little of that mixed with some bi-carb in to a paste is great for really greasy stubborn spots etc oven , i love not using the nasty chemicals and lets face it our homes smell just as fresh if not fresher lol
ReplyDeleteI use vinegar instead of fabric softner. I LOVE LOVE vinegar!! I also use organic apple cider vinegar for a hair detangler for myself and my girls. I am newer to the no chemical lifestyle, but I have switched all our cleaning supplies, laundry soap, hair products, and foods! I am LOVING it all.
ReplyDeleteI put in several drops of Eucalypt oil to make it smell good.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have just started to become more away of the amount of chemicals we use. We've even stopped using the microwave for reheating food! I've been using really hot water to clean, but now that you've mentioned this; I will try it!!! Thank you so much for the help! I just didn't know you could do that before.
