Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Create your own natural cleaning products with everyday items in your kitchen. Use lemon juice to dissolve hard water and soap scum. It's also great to polish copper and shine brass. Mix 1 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup lemon juice to polish your wood furniture. Throw citrus peels down the garbage disposal to keep it fresh. Use baking soda as an abrasive and deodorizer. Vinegar is great for an all-purpose cleaner to deodorize, degrease and disinfect.

Step2

Look for natural cleaning products carried in your local department or kitchen store. Many retailers are meeting the new demands for more natural cleaning products and are making the effort to accommodate customers' requests.

Step3

Research natural cleaning product companies, like Heather's Natural and Organic Cleaning Products, and order online to get them direct to your house. They come with complete ingredient lists and often eliminate the allergies associated with cleaning products as they do not contain the potent synthetic chemicals that conventional cleaners have.

Step4

Read the labels of conventional cleaning products and learn the ingredients to avoid, such as butane, ammonia, alcohol or heavy metals. This will enable you to know what to not buy.

Tips & Warnings

Use natural cleaning products to avoid the potentially fatal mistake of mixing the wrong chemicals, which can occur through fumes as well.
If you have any allergies, check with your doctor before using any new products; even those that are all-natural.
