Replacing your regular chemical-based detergents with healthy eco-friendly mixtures is a secure way for you to improve your cleaning routine. While harsh cleaning products have a negative impact on your health, DIY cleansers with natural ingredients are safe to apply. If you wonder whether it is possible to address typical chores with eco-friendly mixtures, you should realise that green cleaning is just as effective as toxic alternatives. Here are four of the most common cleaning tasks you can complete with DIY solutions:

Treat carpet stains – homeowners with carpeted floors are well –familiar with how demanding carpets are. When it comes to eliminating stains from the surface, chances are you are used to applying chemicals, but you can easily get rid of messes with natural ingredients. Ink stains, blood stains, greasy food accidents or even challenging red wine stains can be safely treated with the right DIY solution. White distilled vinegar mixed with water is a powerful remedy against various carpet stains. Rubbing alcohol can deal with blood and ink on the carpet, while baking soda should be your first choice when you want to deal with nasty carpet smells natural.

Disinfect your bathroom – are you used to relying on numerous store-bought bathroom cleansers? With the help of a single eco-friendly mixture, you can disinfect the tub, the shower and the bathroom tiles at once, mixing only a few natural ingredients. Grab a jar and fill it with two cups of baking soda mixed with half a cup of warm water and the same amount of liquid dish soap. Spread your homemade scrubbing paste on any bathroom surface and wait for a while before you scrub grime with a brush. After that, you should rinse the bathroom with clean water as you normally do. In case you are faced with extremely stubborn dirt, add a little lemon juice to your mixture.

Make a powerful glass cleanser – whether you intend to wash your windows or you want to give your mirrors a quick wipe, dealing with the tasks naturally is the smart way to go. Take an empty spraying bottle and mix equal amounts of warm water, white distilled vinegar and rubbing alcohol. That’s all – your DIY mixture is ready to be applied on any glass surface you want to make sparkly clean. Spray the mixture and wipe it clean with paper towels or use a bamboo cotton cloth.

Address the oven – surely cleaning the oven is one of the most dreadful chores you can think of, but not if you make the most of baking soda. Empty the oven, then mix enough amounts of baking soda and water to get a paste-like scrubbing mixture. You can also add a few drops of liquid dish soap to the solution. Cover your oven’s interior with your DIY paste and let it sit for at least 12 hours before you wipe clean with a wet loofah. In the meantime, you can soak the oven’s racks in an eco-friendly mixture of hot water and white vinegar. The ingredient will break through grease, allowing you to scrub it off the racks in no time.
