DIY Green Cleaning Recipes

There was once a time when chemical cleaners were the best method of cleaning everything in your home. Now we’ve switched to green cleaning, which is not only more effective but can also help to improve the air quality in your home.

If you look in your pantry, you might find that you already the bare necessities:

• White vinegar
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Essential oils (like tea tree, lavender, or eucalyptus oil)
• Castile soap
• Fresh herbs and citrus peels
• Oil or vegetable oil
• Water

Bathroom Cleaner
A bathroom cleaner should be “green” but also strong enough to scrub your tiles and countertops. It should also be gentle when it comes to everything glass, including your windows and mirrors! For a most natural method, use half vinegar and half water for scrubbing soap scum and grime off tiles.

Kitchen Cleaner
You bathroom cleaner can be used for kitchen scrubbing as well. But with all that cooking you do, mask the garlic or onion based stench with an essential oil. Try 3 drops of grapefruit essential or tea tree for a refreshing aroma.

Green Cleaning the Bathroom

Cleaning up your bathroom for spring? Put the bleach aside!

Nowadays people are finding new and eco-friendly ways to clean up their home, and for a good reason! Harsh chemicals cause environmental damage and are hazardous to your health. So why not try these green cleaning tips instead?

Little by little
If given extra time in the morning (or at night), make it a daily habit to clean up after every shower. Overtime, that icky black mildew can grow and grow. So wipe up the surface with a non-bleach cleaner. And if you can, reuse your towel twice before tossing in the laundry.

Natural scents
Don’t let your bathroom stink up! To keep it smelling fresh, squeeze several drops of essential oil, such as eucalyptus or peppermint into a small vessel and let it sit on your countertop. In the guest bath, leave a few options for your visitors to enjoy!

Showerhead cleanse
Showerheads can become clogged with mineral deposits, so skip the harsh chemicals and fill a plastic bag with undiluted white vinegar. Then, tie the plastic bag over the showerhead and let it work its magic overnight. Lastly, scrub the surface clean with a toothbrush - should be good as new!

Airing it out
While the best way to prevent mildew is to turn on the exhaust fan, another eco-friendly and energy efficient option is to crack open the window when showering. This will allow the steam to escape before you fog the windows up!

#TipTuesday | Cleaning Bathroom Tile & Grout

With all the constant use your bathroom gets on a daily basis, why not keep it clean as can be? Whether you have natural stone or ceramic tile in the bathroom, here are a few tips to help you keep everything looking spotless:

Scrub & Rinse - Cleaning your shower stall or countertops with a chemical solution? Be sure you scrub well and rinse with clean water, as to not leave a greasy film behind. For your shower stalls, simply retract your showerhead and rinse or use a wet cloth if yours isn’t removable.

Clean Weekly - Scrubbing your shower and countertops isn’t exactly what you want to do on your day off, but just think about how fresh your bathroom will feel! Take even just a few minutes to clean dirt from your bathroom tiles each week or every other week. Not only will your bathroom look fresh, but it will also help to eliminate mold and mildew.

Go Pro - Try professional stone and tile cleaners, like the Fusion Every Day Cleaner for stone and tile from Triple S.
