Holistic Spring Cleaning Tips

Importance of All Natural Ingredients

All natural, holistic cleaning products

are just as effective as those

expensive cleaning products you buy

at the store, and they’re not full of

harmful chemicals.

If you need cleaning products that are

safe, effective, and gentle, then check out

the various uses for things like:

• Vinegar

• Olive Oil

• Lemon Juice

• Sodium Bicarbonate

• Essential Oils

Getting Rid of Soap Scum and Lime Deposits

Soap scum, lime deposits, and greasy stains are found

most often in your bathroom and kitchen.

To get clean these messes with safe, natural

ingredients, all you really need is distilled white vinegar.

Mix ¼ to ½ cup of vinegar with water in a standard

spray bottle to tackle these types of stains and deposits.

This mixture can even be used to clean mirrors and

windows. If you need something stronger, use undiluted

vinegar instead.

Shining and Cleaning Wooden Surfaces

Wooden surfaces can be a little

tricky to keep clean because many

products will ruin finishes and

wood. To keep all wooden surfaces clean and

polished, Ilan Toledano recommends

using olive oil and lemon juice.

Lemon juice is a gentle cleaner for wood

furniture and counters, and by combining

1 cup of olive oil and ½ cup of lemon

juice, you can effectively polish and

maintain any wood products in your

home.

Bathroom and Kitchen Counters

Baking soda has long been used as a deodorizer,

and it is a versatile cleaning product.

It’s tough on kitchen and bathroom counters while

still being gentle on your skin and tabletops.

Just sprinkle the soda where you need it and

scrub with a wet cloth. Wipe clean and dry with a

new cloth when you’re finished.

All Natural Disinfectants

Many natural products are useful

for tough stains, but how well do

they disinfect? To make a simple disinfectant for

your counters and furniture, simply

mix together:

• 2 cups of water

• 30 drops of tea tree oil

• 3 tbs. of all natural liquid soap,

such as liquid castile soap.

Homemade Laundry Detergents

Ilan Toledano’s tips for holistic cleaners don’t

just stop at counter tops and tough stains. They

also take care of laundry as well.

For all natural laundry detergent, mix together:

• 1 cup of sodium bicarbonate (borax)

• 1 cup of washing soda

• 1 grated bar of castile soap or any other all

natural bar soap of your choice.

To get the soap in smaller pieces, put the

shavings through your food processor. Use 2

tbsp. whenever you’re doing laundry.

Stain Removers

To take care of stubborn stains, look no

further then lemon juice and hydrogen

peroxide. For an all natural stain-

fighting bleach, mix together:

• 1 cup of peroxide

• 3 tbsp. of lemon juice

• 15 cups of water.

Store it all in a clean jug and

refill your spray bottle as

necessary.
