Eco-Friendly Cleaning Hacks
Forget harsh chemicals—natural, biodegradable ingredients are just as effective and much kinder to the earth. Here are some easy tips to get you started:
1. Banish Limescale with Vinegar and Lemon.
Hard water marks on taps or kettles? Soak a cloth in white vinegar, wrap it around the affected area, and leave for 30 minutes.
Wipe clean and add a squeeze of lemon for a fresh scent. And for your kettle, add citric acid to a full kettle of water, pour out the contents and watch your kettle sparkle.
2. All-Purpose Cleaner from Your Pantry
Mix 2 cups of water, 1 cup of white vinegar, and a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or tea tree) in a spray bottle. Use it on countertops, glass, or even as a floor cleaner.
3. Baking Soda for Stains and Odors
Got a stubborn stain or a smelly fridge? Sprinkle baking soda on the offending spot, let it sit for 10 minutes, and then wipe or vacuum away.
4. Reusable Cloths Over Paper Towels
Cut up old t-shirts or towels to use as cleaning rags. They’re washable, long-lasting, and zero waste.
