Filed Under ** Cheat Sheets!, Eco-Mama, Healthy Home, cleaning products
One of the first things that went in my house when we started to green (during the whole BPA boom of ‘07) was conventional cleaning products. Since then, we’ve tried many green cleaning products. And of course, what do we SafeMama girls do best? That’s right, my friends, cheat sheets. We’d be remiss if we didn’t put together a cheat sheet of safer cleaning products for your home, too.

Do It Yourself
Multi Purpose Spray:Take two parts warm water, to one part vinegar. Put in a spray bottle and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, and viola! You’ve got a multi purpose cleaning spray. It’s even streak free on windows and mirrors.
To clean your tub and shower:
Put half to one cup of baking soda into a bowl. Slowly add vinegar in small increments until you have a semi-crumbly paste. Use on a scrubby sponge to clean. It works wonders.
To clean your toilets:
Toilet Bowl Cleaner: Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar into your toilet tank once a week. Make sure NO ONE uses that toilet for at least 30 minutes. I then add approx. 1/4 cup of baking soda to the toilet bowl and let that sit for a few minutes too. If need you can use a toilet brush to remove tough stains. Then flush! You have naturally disinfected the toilet and refreshed it too! Kills odors!
Toilet Stain Cleaner: 1 cup borax, 1/4 cup lemon or vinegar juice
Mix, then pour into the toilet bowl. Let sit for about 15 minutes, then scrub the stains away.
