Utilizing Everyday Ingredients as Cleaning Products

The Maids • May 09, 2014

Store bought cleaning products are full of chemicals that can negatively affect our skin and immune system in various ways. If you are a person who is sensitive to chemicals and allergens, you might opt for homemade cleaning products to avoid the effects caused by these hazardous chemicals.

Diluted White Vinegar

White vinegar is not only gentle to your skin but it is effective at dissolving soap scum, dirt and hard water deposits from many surfaces. It has excellent deodorizing capabilities as well. It doesn’t have any coloring agents, ensuring that the grouts in your tiled surfaces are kept unstained. For families with sensitive skin, white vinegar is great because there is not chemical residue. It can be utilized by mixing one cup of vinegar with one cup of water in a refillable spray bottle.

Baking Soda

Because of its natural deodorizing properties and its mild abrasive action, it is one of the powerful replacements for chemical cleaning products. Simply sprinkle the baking soda onto a damp cloth to clean bathroom vanities, bathtubs and toilets. If you come across tougher grime, you can prepare a paste made by mixing baking soda with a little water, and then apply paste to areas with hard to remove soap scum or other deposits, wait a few minutes, scrub and rinse. Pour a little down you bathroom and kitchen sinks as a deodorizer. However, do not use this solution in blocked drains.

These products are perfect allergy-free home cleaning products you can prepare and use easily throughout your home. However, if you would like to have a professional housekeeping service maintain your home, The Maids of North Andover Massachusetts would be happy to assist you.
