Safer Cleaning Products For The Home

White Distilled Vinegar

White vinegar was used as a household cleanser long before commercial cleaners and chemicals came on the scene; with promises of sparkling countertops, germ killing properties and harsh chemicals that can ruin some hard surfaces. Vinegar is highly effective in killing molds, bacteria, and most germs, due to its level of acidity. Cleaning with white vinegar is very environmentally friendly and very economical to say the least. I have been using it for many years and if you are worried about the vinegary smell lingering in your home, once it dries, the smell is gone!


Windows/Mirrors

In a spray bottle, fill with vinegar to about about 3/4 full, add a bit of water and use as you would normally use any commercial window cleaner.




Remove soap buildup/odors from the dishwasher

This maybe accomplished by once a month, pouring a cup of white distilled vinegar inside the empty machine and running it through a whole cycle.

Cleaning an automatic drip coffee maker

This may also be accomplished by once a month pouring 8 cups of white distilled vinegar inside the coffee maker and running it through to perk. Discard the liquid. Never put the vinegar back into the machine to run through a second time. For a final rinse, fill coffee maker with clear water and run through.

Cutting grime

Use full-strength white vinegar on a paper towel or cloth to clean (and kill germs) on kitchen or bath countertops, it will also clean the grime from the tops of a refrigerator or freezer.

Baking Soda

Everyone knows that an open box of baking soda left open in the refridgerator absorbs odors, but to extend the life of that box of baking soda when it has done its job in the fridge, reuse that box of baking soda to clean your drains. You can eliminate harsh chemicals that may leave odors and residue in your sinks by pouring a box of baking soda down the drain followed by a cup of hot (heated in the microwave) white vinegar.
