When it is time for spring cleaning or if you just want to do a deep cleaning around the home, there is a lot of preparation necessary. It requires a run to the store to pick up every supply that is necessary to get your home ready for the rest of the year. It is difficult on many levels, including the budget and it can be stressful when you think about everything you will need to buy. Rather than going out and blowing your budget, why not use the ingredients you already have to do the cleaning?
The budget is what most people think about when it comes to buying commercial cleaners but you also need to think about the chemicals that are involved as well. They can be harmful while you are cleaning but they also tend to stick around and make your home harmful for your family, including your pets. You might think that it is a lot of work to make your own cleaner but it’s a lot simpler than you probably imagine. You can typically put a few kitchen items together in a spray bottle and continue to reuse it over and over again.
White vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water can be used for a very convenient and effective window cleaner. You don’t need to spend money on Windex, you can get your windows, mirrors, and countertops as clean as you could want them without the use of toxic chemicals. Why not wipe your bathroom down with some liquid soap, baking soda, water, and white vinegar. The combination makes an incredible cleaner.
What if you have a really tough job? Some people try the harsh chemicals for one of the toughest jobs in the home, cleaning out the baked on items in the oven.
Cleaning the oven is frustrating and it often leads to leaving the house open for a long time because of the strong chemical smell.
It’s time to clean your oven cheaply with a very effective cleaner made from items you probably already have in your kitchen.
The ingredients include the following:
1/4 cup dish soap
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup vinegar
1 1/4 cup water
Combine those ingredients in spray bottle and spray it on the inside of your oven to coat the interior. Let it sit for a while and then wipe it clean.
Does this actually work? One Facebook user posted the results on the social media network and it went viral with thousands of reactions and shares. A lot of people are going to be trying this rather than trying a commercial cleaner.
