Doing household chores is a necessity, but using toxic cleaners for the job is not. By opting for ecologically friendly tools and cleaners, you can maintain a healthy home and help the planet. Discover four eco-friendly ways to clean your home this spring.
Remove Mold & Mildew with Tea Tree Oil
Mold and mildew might cause various health risks, but that doesn’t mean you have to use a harsh cleaning spray to get rid of it. Simply spray vinegar onto the area, leave it for a few hours, and scrub it away with a brush. If you dislike the smell of vinegar, consider tea tree oil! Combine one cup of water and one teaspoon of tea tree oil in a spray bottle. After spraying the tea tree solution, allow it to sit for one hour and then wipe it away.
Ditch the Wasteful Air Freshener
Air fresheners breathe lovely scents into your home, but many brands are made with harmful chemicals and single-use plastic. Opt for a greener option, and consider switching to stovetop potpourri! Throw diced oranges, apples, and a few cinnamon sticks into a large pot filled with water. Simmer the mixture on the stove and enjoy the lovely, natural aromas!
Clean Glass with Vinegar
Rather than purchasing glass cleaner in a single-use plastic bottle, consider using vinegar! Drop a few tablespoons of vinegar onto a microfiber towel, and wipe away dirt and smudges with ease! Vinegar is safe to use on most glass, including windows and tabletops.
Sanitize the Microwave with Lemon
Microwave messes can be tricky, but a little lemon juice can go a long way! Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a microwave bowl and cook on high for three minutes. Allow the juice to cool for five minutes with the microwave door closed. Use a towel to wipe the interior of the microwave clean!
