All Purpose Eco-Friendly and Organic Cleanser
Sulphuric and hydrochloric acid, phosphates and ammonia, bleach and petroleum – these are just a few of the damaging chemicals present in commercial cleaning products handled in the home. And you pay good money for them, too! Luckily for the eco-conscious homeowners, there is an all-purpose, green and organically-made home cleaner that costs less than a dollar and can be ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients and Supplies Required
To make this organic cleaning agent, you just require five basic ingredients and supplies. Throw in a little patience and you ought to be good at making more bottles for your relatives and friends, too, which makes for a cleaner environment. (Who says you can’t clean your dwelling without polluting nature?)
First, secure recyclable spray bottles with about one liter capacity. The emphasis is on recyclable and/or recycled containers because you want to guard the environment from more non-biodegradable materials, not add to the pollution.
Second, acquire white distilled vinegar made from grain and/or plant materials. Don’t use the ones made from crude oil! Remember that white distilled vinegar has cleansing properties, thus, its inclusion as the main ingredient in this natural cleanser.
Third, buy authentic lemongrass essential oil. It has antibacterial properties ideal for killing house germs. If you desire added antiviral and antifungal boosts, replace it with tea tree oil or just add a few drops.
Fourth, obtain some eco-friendly dishwashing liquid from the supermarket. Or better yet, from an eco-friendly market.
Fifth, add in generous quantities of water. Just stick to tap water instead of those fancy bottled water.
Directions for Mixing
Making the eco-friendly cleaner is child’s play, really. Merely fill your spray bottle until the halfway mark at about 500 milliliters. Then leaving a small amount of room for the other ingredients, pour in the white distilled vinegar at around 400 milliliters. Incorporate between 10 to 14 drops of the lemongrass essential oil. You can add said oil until 30 drops but it’s best to begin with the minimum amount to avoid skin irritations. Incorporate roughly 2-3 drops of the eco-friendly dishwashing liquid to the whole mix. You can then cap and shake the bottle until you make foamy bubbles; just a thin layer of it though. Label the container to prevent accidents especially when you have children around the house. Now, that didn’t take 30 minutes, did it?
You have to agitate the bottle before every use to uniformly distribute the ingredients. Also, stow it in a cool area away from direct sunlight, preferably one where kids cannot get hold of it. Eco-friendly or not, it can cause health complications when consumed in large amounts, as any household cleaner will do.
Uses and Tips
As previously mentioned, this is an all-purpose organic household cleaner. As such, you can use it to clean mirrors and tabletops, carpet and upholstery, clothing and curtains, stainless steel and chrome, porcelain and tiles, and even as a hand disinfectant. However, you must take care not to use it on marble as it can cause damage to the stone. Plus, it never hurts to spot test it before applying to the whole surface.
You will delightedly discover that, indeed, you can be spick and span around the house while taking care of Mother Nature with this natural cleanser!
