We’ve come up with some simple and cheap ways to make the cleaning process a little more green, including easy eco swaps and a few natural cleaning recipes that don’t compromise on hygiene.
All reasons to be mindful of what we use to clean our living spaces!
Thankfully, there are loads of plant-based and biodegradable products now available that are non-toxic, work just as well – and in a lot of cases, smell better too.
One good option is to use water-free alternatives such as Ocean Saver Refills, These are biodegradable pods that you add to water in areusable spray bottle. Another could be to visit your plastic free shop and fill up using a biodegradable, plant-based solution (ideally from a local closed-loop manufacturer if you can).
A basic natural cleaning tool kit includes white vinegar, baking soda, citrus fruit, and empty spray bottles. You may also want tea tree oil and other essential oils for scent. Add reusable microfiber cloths,compostable sponge cloths or even old cotton T-shirts instead of paper towels for less waste. For a bit of a scrub, instead of using plastic sponges, use coconut fibre pads.
¼ cup of white vinegar
1 tbsp baking soda
1 litre of hot water
Mix it up in a reusable bottle and spray away!
3 tbsp vinegar
4 cups water
Make it stronger by using 1/4 cup vinegar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 4 cups warm water. Shake to dissolve the cornstarch before spraying. Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth, then do a final wipe with a dry cloth to avoid streaks.
Put 1/4 cup baking soda down the drain followed by 1/2 cup vinegar.
Cover and let sit for 15 minutes, then uncover and pour in 8 cups boiling water.
For light cleaning, mix 1/4 cup baking soda with 1 cup vinegar and pour it into the toilet bowl.
Let it sit for up to 30 minutes, then scrub with a toilet brush and flush.
