Can Natural Cleaning Ingredients Be As Effective
As Chemicals?
2

• There are many alternatives to simply buying
  chemical cleaning products to clean our homes,
  and most of them are entirely natural and can
  even be found in the average store cupboard.
  Chemical cleaning agents can ironically be more
  harmful to your health than a dirty home, as many
  of them contain carcinogens, endocrine disruptors
  and neurotoxins. While these can be just as
  harmful to adults, our children are most at risk
  since they are constantly touching surfaces and
  putting objects into their mouths.
• So, lets look at some far less harmful cleaning
  solutions and their essential ingredients

• Baking Soda
• This is the perfect scouring agent to use in your
  home and is also a great deodorizer.
• Coarse Salt
• This is another scouring agent that can be out to
  good use in your home not only is it cheap but
  its completely safe and natural. Rather
  surprisingly, salt also makes an effective
  softener.

4

• Distilled White Vinegar
• Vinegar has bacteria fighting qualities and is
  much safer to use than a product like bleach.
  White vinegar also works well on grease stains
  and soap residue.
• Castile Soap
• This soap which can easily be found in stores
  across the country, is incredibly gentle on the
  skin but exceptionally tough on dirt, grease and
  grime.

5

• Bar Soap
• When making your own laundry detergent from
  natural ingredients, bar soap will often be one
  of them, and is grated into the recipe. If using
  the bar of soap whole, it can be used to
  effectively pre-treat stains.
• Washing Soda
• With its remarkable ability to cut through
  grease, and deodorize and disinfect surfaces or
  fabrics, washing soda is often found in homemade
  cleaning recipes.

6

• Citric Acid
• When washing dishes, or glass items, citric acid
  makes the prefect solution to stopping water
  spots, cloudiness or streaking. It can also be
  safely (and cheaply) used for getting rid of wine
  stains and cleaning stainless steel.
• Olive Oil
• If youre making a wood cleaner from scratch,
  then youll probably want to have olive oil be
  part of the recipe, as not only does it clean
  dirt from wood, but it conditions it at the same
  time.

7

• Essential Oils
• Its perhaps little known that essential oils
  possess strong antibacterial, antifungal and
  antiviral qualities, and while they may be added
  to some cleaning products to make them smell
  nice, they work very effectively in conjunction
  with other natural cleaning ingredients to remove
  dirt and germs.
• Now you can see just how easy it is to clean your
  home without the need for harsh, environmentally
  damaging chemical cleaning products, and worrying
  about the health of any little ones in your home,
  can become a distant memory.
