Vinegar

It may not have the greatest smell, but it is one of the greatest all-natural cleaners you will find in your house. It can be used from the kitchen to the bathroom and every other room. Some of the most common uses of vinegar are outlined here.

Window Cleaning

Cleaning your windows can be frustrating. If you are not careful, you have streaks that are just as unattractive as the dirty windows. First, use crumpled newspapers to clean glass instead of using paper towels or napkins. If you do not have any newspapers, you can use coffee filers to clean your windows without streaks. Next, mix equal parts of ammonia and alcohol in a spray bottle. You should make sure you purchase non-sudsing ammonia.

You can use denture cleansers to clean your outdoor windows or windows that are very grimy and require a thorough wash. All you need are several denture cleaning tablets and a bucket of water. Drop the tablets in the bucket and allow them to dissolve. Next, use a soft cloth to wash the window, followed by a clear-water rinse. Allow it to dry naturally or use crumpled newspaper to dry the window.

If you have followed these steps and you still see streaks, grab the fabric softener. Wipe the window with fabric softener and allow it to dry. After the window has dried, wipe it again with a damp cloth and allow it to dry naturally.

Ink Remover

If your favorite shirt is ruined due to an ink pen leaking, do not throw it away before you try this old secret. Spray the ink area thoroughly with hairspray and blot with clean paper towels. Repeat until the stain is much lighter than when you started. Follow this with normal laundering and – voila! – your shirt is now ready to wear.

As you can see, there are many products around your house that can be used for household cleaning. You will save money and at the same time avoid exposing your family to unnecessary chemicals. Use the tips here to get you started cleaning naturally. You may find that you have cleaners you did not even know about in your kitchen pantry.
