Natural Cleaning Solutions You Can Make at Home

Many of the residents of our apartments in Cypress, Texas, are interested in improving their lives through the use of natural or organic products. They are shopping for more organic fruits and vegetables and are looking for more “all-natural” labeling on the products they use. Those willing to take the next step can create a number of natural cleaning products right at home they can have even more confidence in. With a little effort and using some products you may already have, you too can create these natural cleaning solutions.

Window Cleaner

 You can easily make an all-natural window and glass cleaner by simply mixing a 50/50 blend of white distilled vinegar and water. Yes, it is just that easy. If you mix the solution in a spray bottle, it makes the application even easier. You can even recycle newspapers by using it to wipe windows or glass surfaces dry. While the vinegar odor may not be initially appealing, it quickly dissipates.

All-Purpose Cleaning Solution

A terrific all-purpose home and floor cleaner can be made with a bucket of warm water, a couple of tablespoons of natural dish soap, a couple of tablespoons of vinegar, and a few squirts of lemon or orange juice. This is a natural, homemade solution that is inexpensive and clean smelling.

Natural Laundry Detergent

You can make your own natural home laundry detergent easily and in just minutes with only three ingredients, including a bar (4.5 ounces) of Fels-Naptha soap, a cup of Borax and a cup of washing soda. Just grate the bar of Fels-Naptha soap and mix with the other ingredients and use like any other powdered laundry detergent. In fact, you may find you can use less! It may not foam as much as chemically produced brands but will be just as effective and smells nice!

Leading a simpler, more natural life is the direction many are deciding to take. It may not always be about saving money, but about doing the right thing. Trying these homemade natural cleaning products may help convince you a more natural way is better.
