subject: Ways To Green Clean Your Bathroom [print this page] Environmentally friendly is the way to go now, especially when it comes to the products we use on a daily basis. Nowhere else can this be more beneficial than the place where our children eat, sleep and grow. Avoiding the use of toxic chemicals will prevent some serious accidents around our homes. Since cleaning the bathroom usually requires the use of some harsh substances, let's see how we can do it green.
Our cleaning products from the department stores are full of aerosol gasses, chemicals and all kinds of other additions. However, we do have other completely natural choices that will achieve the same wonderful results, without the possible harm that comes from their toxic ingredients. Some of them have strong fumes that are not safe for you or your children to breathe, and need to be used in well-ventilated areas.
Other ingredients that are not well known for their cleaning properties are cream of tartar, lemon oil furniture polish, club soda and rubbing alcohol. If heat sterilization is something that you consider to be invaluable, you can invest in a portable steam machine that will kill bacteria immediately.
There are times when using some preventive techniques can prevent spending some time deep cleaning later. One example of this is putting baking soda in your tub during use; this keeps from those nasty water rings from forming at the water level. Heating up vinegar and letting it sit for a few minutes on dried glue or color stains from container labels will help remove those stains.
Easy step-by-step instructions and videos are available all over the world wide web, and will show you exactly how to mix all of these different ingredients. Our entire home can be cleaned using environmentally safe alternatives and will open the world to green living. With a little research, exact measurements and acceptable alternatives can be found to make whatever liquid or paste is required.
Examples of lesser-known cleaning ingredients include club soda to make your counter tops sparkle, toothpaste to get rid of rings at the bottom of your sink, and lemon juice and salt to clean those hard to reach toilet seat hinges. If you mix vinegar and cream of tartar into a paste, you will have the perfect mix to clean your sinks and get rid of those difficult makeup stains.
Rubbing alcohol will shine your shower and sink faucets to a mirror shine and remove hard water stains at the same time. Metal shower frame doors shined with lemon oil furniture polish will no longer have water spots. By leaving full-strength vinegar in the door tracks overnight, you will be able to have all that accumulated mildew and gunk removed in an easy, no-scrub way. Do you think you will miss that clean smell? Use tea tree oil to deodorize and disinfect at the same time, and it's not a harsh chemical fragrance.
With the information available today, there is no need to use harsh or dangerous chemicals around your family. Cleaning the bathroom is a big part of any cleaning routine, and using natural products can give you the same effect, without having dangerous substances around the home, accessible to children. Use the technology on the Internet to make your home safe and clean in a more green, environmental way.
