Always start with The Thing that is most annoying or overwhelming in everyday life. If that's cleaning products, start there. If it's the kitchen drawer overflowing with cutlery, start there. If it's the pile of stuff in the entryway, start there. Whatever annoys you most.

We had a cat that was allergic to the cleaning products. Quickly switched to vinegar, baking soda, soap and just a little bleach when needed. Made cleanig quicker and a lot more pleasant smelling.

These were great! I especially liked your advice at the end to just take it slow. I was going to mention that about switching to natural cleaners: if there is no allergy or medical reason to cut them out then I would suggest just using them up and switch to natural as you go 😉

It is worth noting that cleaning and disinfecting are not the same. so if you are trying to kill germs, vinegar will not do that. That being said, if you are very "chemical conscious" there are other options besides something like bleach

For cleaning in the kitchen I use vinegar-water, vinegar/citric acid-baking soda and I use soap for cleaning the dishes. For my dishwasher I'm still searching for the right product. It's just the toilet where I still use the spesific toilet cleaner, but everywhere else I use the ingredients above and they work great. For my floors we have a high pressure water thing, I don't know what is the exact name in English, but Iove it sooo much, it's easy, quick and disinfects the floors and tiles.

Where I live we have very hard water. I never felt comfortable using Limeaway toilet bowl cleaner I use Dr Bronner liquid castile soap , baking soda and white vinegar. Any scent will do I used Eucalyptis for a little extra cleaning. Let it sit a while and it works well. The bowl stays cleaner longer as it doesn't feel as though the bowl is etched like after the stronger cleaner

I’ve been making my own laundry detergent for almost a year now! (Since around November of last year!) and it has been great! I use 4 ingredients (washing soda, baking soda, Epsom salt and sea salt!) and if the load is in need of a little extra cleaning I add a splash of vinegar! I’m currently using up my current cleaning products but plan to do more simple and streamlined products to make it not only easier but safer for our house since we have little ones. Constant recalls on food and other things have definitely made me aware and weary of what we bring into our home and put into our bodies! I don’t but makeup truly, last time I bought any was for my wedding last year and before that, years. I’ve honestly berated throwing most of it out (which is a small hand bag with maybe 10 or less items) because of how little I actually use it. Cerave facial wash and lotion is my only skin care routine Those are just a few areas we’ve already simplified the past few years!
@yuvra6497 күн бұрын
Great video! I too learned cleaning products just created weird buildup. For our floors i switched to steam mop with basic citric acid or vinegar spray. Such a huge difference. Absolutely amazing clean disinfected floors! From then on I've slowly moved towards home solutions for cleaning and steam shot for disinfection.

Please do not use vinegar on any type of stone. Granite, quartz, travertine, marble..etc. it will etch the finsh and dull the look of the stone. Please use dish soap. Do not dust the stone as well it will scratch the finish because of the debris it has in it. This comes from a professional cleaner who takes care of homes that have high-end textiles.
