subject: Ideas For Stain Removal Without Chemicals [print this page] Natural cleaning is a lot better than cleaning with natural products, as you have probably heard. There are a lot of researches on this topic which prove us this fact. The thing is, though, that there still are a lot of people who don't believe in natural cleaning and keep on using commercial cleaners.
Detergents that are sold in supermarkets are very dangerous. They contain a lot of toxins, and emit poisonous fumes, which cause health problems. There are millions of people who suffer from allergies, skin irritations, hard breathing, and rhinitis, because of cleaning detergents which they have used in the domestic chores.
Stain removing products are also dangerous. That is why most deep cleaning services providers don't recommend their use.
Here are a few ideas for stain removal without chemicals:
Sweat stains on clothes we all hate the yellow armpits on our shirts and t-shirts. Most people use bleach to remove them, which is a big mistake. Bleach damages the fabrics of your clothes and can harm you, too. Instead of bleach you can use white vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice. Lemons are said to be nature's best disinfectant and bleach. If you soak a yellow armpit in any of the products and wash it as usual afterwards, the discolouration will be gone. A cup full of vinegar or lemon juice added to the rinse cycle of your laundry machine can refresh the colour of your whites, too.
Blood stains if the stains are fresh blot the excess liquid and pour cold soda water over them. Blot with a clean towel, repeating the process until the spots fade. For dry stains apply a paste of borax and water to the blood stain, leave it to dry and remove it with a brush. Vacuum to restore the position of the carpet's fibres. According to Cleaner London a cloth soaked with eucalyptus essential oil can also help you remove a blood stain.
Red wine stains these discolourations happen very often and are quite unpleasant. They can be easily cleaned with white vinegar, though. Blot the excess wine and pour vinegar over the stain. Blot with a clean towel again. Repeat the procedure as many times as needed until you remove the spot. If you don't have vinegar at home, you can treat the red wine stain with white wine, too.
So, forget about using commercial cleaners. Start cleaning with natural products only to keep the environment in your house healthy.
