All Natural Cleaning Ideas

​If you've gone through our 21 Day Detox, or are planning on it, at some point you need to think about the cleaning agents you're using in the house. I started using Green Cleaning agents before our son was born so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites!

  • Distilled White Vinegar - loosens dirt, helps to disinfect, deodorizes, and can remove mineral deposits and stains. (Don't use Dark Vinegar, it will CAUSE stains.)
  • Baking Soda - deodorizes carpets & upholstery, mild abrasive, mix it with the distilled white vinegar and it helps with toilets and clogged drains.
  • Liquid Castile Soap - one of my favorites! Made from 100% vegetable oils, great all purpose cleaner, laundry and dish soap. You can even make a shampoo and hair rinse with the right ratio.
  • Lemon Juice - can be used for bleaching and disinfecting, it will stay fresh for up to 4 days. Always best to use REAL lemons and not the concentrate from a bottle.

All of these items also work out to be less expensive than commercial cleaning agents. Two of my favorite cleaning 'recipes' we use in our house:

Surface Cleaning Spray

  • 1c distilled white vinegar
  • 1c water
  • juice of 1/2 lemon

Mix everything together and place in a spray bottle. Works beautifully on all the shiny surfaces too!​

Degreasing Spray

  • 1c distilled white vinegar
  • 2c water
  • 1 Tbsp Castile Soap

This works on the stove top, oven, microwave, and refrigerator (interior) to cut through any grease or baked on stickiness.

Some other great resources?

  • Norwex Microfiber Clothes ​remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following proper use and care. I have several of these for all types of uses all over our house. I've even colored coded their use.
