Make Your Own Cleaners For Sinks & Baths

Can you look in your laundry and bathroom cupboards and find umpteen tins and bottles of pungent, toxic cleaners?

One whiff of any of them will probably leave you short of breath.  These cleaners are wiped around toilet seats, baths and  kitchen surfaces, not to mention the fact that our clothes are drenched in them each time we do the washing.  A lot of cleaning products are absorbed by our skin.  Many are carcinogenic and many can affect our central nervous system. 

So far we have only mentioned the affect on our bodies but what about the affect on our environment.  That's another story we don't need to go into here as you are well aware of how fragile it is.  Lets get down to something constructive and make some healthy cleaners.  Most of ingredients are in your pantry right now, so let's get started:

   Clean your toilet with "nice" kitchen ingredients
 Cleaning sinks is now so easy and cheap
 
 
   

Read about the ingredients you will be using and then make your mixtures to:

Clean your sinks & baths:

Cleaning method 1:
Sprinkle baking soda on a wet cloth.  Rub the sink well and rinse off to prevent a hazy film.
 

Cleaning method 2:
Combine 1 and 2/3 cups baking soda with 1/2 cup liquid soap and 1/2 cup water.  Mix well and then add 2 tablespoons white vinegar.  Don't put the vinegar into the mixture until it is already well combined. Rub on with a damp cloth and rinse well.

 

You can make all the products below for a fraction of the cost you would pay in a supermarket.  You will protect your family's health and, just as importantly, you will be helping our environment recover.
