Natural Household Cleaning Products

Here is some information on how to make homemade cleaning products:

Oven Cleaner

1/2 cup salt
1 1/2 cups baking soda
1/2 cup water

Mix the ingredients until it forms a smooth paste. Plug the holes in the oven with aluminum foil. Spread the paste (try not to get any on metal parts). Leave overnight. In the morning, mix:

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup vinegar

Mix the ingredients in a spray bottle. Spray the oven with this mixture.

Wipe away. Rinse with clean water. Note: the mixture needs to be rinsed well or it will leave a white residue.

Glass Cleaner
Pour plain club soda (not the low-sodium kind) into a spray bottle. Spray it on glass or mirror. Use a lint-free cloth or paper and wipe until it’s clean.

Microwave Cleaner

1/4 cup vinegar
2 cups water

Add the ingredients to a large bowl. Microwave uncovered for 3 minutes on high. Leave for another three minutes. Open the microwave, remove the bowl and wipe down the inside of the microwave with a clean damp cloth.

Toilet Cleaner

3 cups white vinegar
10 drops tea tree essential oil (optional).

Pour the ingredients slowly into the toilet bowl. Leave it for 15 minutes then scrub.

Bathtub and Shower Cleaner

1 part vinegar
1 part water

Mix ingredients in a spray bottle. Spray the shower wall and tub. Let it sit for at least 1/2 hour. Rinse it off. If you need extra cleaning power, use liquid detergent and a nylon or plastic sponge.

Avoid soap, which can leave a residue.

If there are rust stains in your tub, mix a bit of cream of tartar with water until the consistency is like toothpaste. Put a little on the stains and use a sponge to wash off.
