You can save hundreds of dollars and take a serious chunk out of how much packaging you send to landfills each year by making natural household cleaning products. Plus, you will limit the toxins in your home and keep harsh cleaning product chemicals away from your children and pets, as well as our soil, water and air. You will also help to save the environment from any waste that the production process creates and lower energy usage that would otherwise have been used to make, package and transport the product.
All natural household cleaning products are surprisingly easy to make and require simple, inexpensive ingredients that you probably already have in your home, or can easily acquire the next time you go shopping.
Major corporations are making big money convincing us that we need their toxic household cleaning products in order to have a clean, sanitary house, but this simply is not true. Natural, eco-friendly cleaning products will get your house just as clean for pennies on the dollar.
Here are five basic household cleaning products that you can make in 20 minutes or less that will save you money while keeping the planet green.
1. Abrasive Scouring Scrub - One cup distilled white vinegar and ½ cup baking soda mixed in a bowl is the only abrasive scrub you will ever need. Scrub your tub, shower or sink with this mixture, then wipe down the surface with a vinegar soaked rag followed by a wet cloth. It will take you less than 10 minutes to gather your supplies and stir up the mix and you will end up with sparkly clean surfaces in your kitchen and bathroom. While you are taking on the arduous task of scrubbing down your shower walls, you can keep your spirits up by thinking about all the money you will save using this mix instead of a commercial brand, and warm your heart with the knowledge that you will never send another abrasive cleaning product bottle to a landfill.
