• Lets face it, cleaning stinks enough without the
  use of harsh, pongy chemicals! But what
  alternatives are there to ensure that our homes
  can be cleaned effectively and hygienically?
• Well, you might be surprised as to just how many
  non-chemical solutions to most of your cleaning
  problems, actually exist within the average store
  cupboard or pantry. Not only may you already have
  some of these natural products in your home, but
  should you need to go out and buy them, they will
  cost you less than chemical based cleaning
  products would in the store, and are they far
  kinder to the environment and to your home, too.
  Take a look below at the top 4 natural solutions
  to cleaning your home

• Vinegar safe to use on fabrics, and virtually
  every surface in your home but not marble
  vinegar can be a great alternative to a chemical
  cleaning solution. If you dont dilute it and
  allow it to dry completely, it can be really
  effective in killing most fungis and mildews,
  found in the home, such as mold that exists in
  window seals, fridge doors and shower curtains.
  Cleaning windows is a breeze with vinegar, simply
  mix a quarter of a tablespoon in a cup of water
  and add a drop or two of liquid detergent.
  Ceramic and floor tiles can also be cleaned
  quickly and easily with a quarter cup of vinegar
  added to a gallon of water ground in dirt stains
  and grease will simply wash away.

• Baking Soda Not only is baking soda great for
  removing stains and helping to shift tough, burnt
  on food, but it works really well at neutralizing
  bad smells and deodorizing. Try making a paste
  from baking soda mixed with a little water, and
  applying it to stains, or make a general cleaning
  solution from a quarter cup of baking soda mixed
  with a quart of water, to be used safely and
  cheaply as a cleaner for most surfaces in your
  home. Alternatively, use the soda in neat form to
  act as a scrub for really tough stains and
  grease. As an odor eliminator, simply sprinkle
  baking soda over the affected area (be it a rug,
  carpet or piece of furniture), and wait for a
  while before vacuuming it up. Blocked drains can
  also be fixed by pouring baking soda down and
  flushing it through with vinegar.

• Borax Using baking soda again, this time mix it
  with a cup of borax, and use roughly 2
  tablespoons of it when youre washing the dishes.
• Vegetable Oil Combining 2 parts vegetable oil
  with 1 parts vinegar (see how handy vinegar
  really is!) or even lemon juice, makes a
  fantastic natural alternative to harmful wood
  cleaners putting the solution into an empty
  spray bottle makes life even easier.
