Clean Green!
updated: Monday, March 19, 2012Reduce toxic chemicals in your St. Louis Park home and reduce the amount you spend on cleaner, leaving your house smelling clean and fresh. Below are just a few ways to clean your house using natural products:
General Cleaner: 1/2 cup baking soda mixed with a liquid vegetable based soap makes a great cleaner for counters (and won't leave scratches), sinks and other surfaces.
Disinfectant Spray: 2 cups water, 1/2 cup vinegar and 10 drops of an essential oil like lemon oil or tea tree oil. Spray this onto counters, bathroom, and floors.
Window and Glass Cleaner: Club soda in a spray bottle. Wipe clean.
Furniture Polish: Put olive oil and lemon juice on a clean cloth. Wipe onto wood. Wipe off. Take care not to get onto upholstery.
