How to Use natural cleaners baking soda, white vinegar, and lemon juice
Natural cleaners are less expensive, better for the environment, and easy to find. These are things older generations have done for years instead of using chemicals. When I was pregnant I decided to change my ways and use only natural cleaners, now I will not go back to chemicals. Does this Spark an idea?

The first natural cleaner is vinegar you can use it as an all-purpose cleaner by mixing one-part water to one-part vinegar. This is a great deodorizer and good for disinfecting. Use pure white vinegar to clean rings off your toilet bowls. Dilute your vinegar with water for mopping. You can also use it white vinegar as a natural cleaner for your coffee pot and teakettle by diluting 1 cup with 1-pint water. Boil in a teakettle and run through your coffee pot.

The next natural cleaner is baking soda. Use as a deodorizer in your fridge. You can also sprinkle it over your carpet a few hours before you vacuum. Put a box in the same room as the kitty liter to catch some of the odor.

Use white vinegar and baking soda together as a natural cleaner. Put a ½ cup of baking soda down your drains then fallow that with 1 cup white vinegar let sit 15 minutes and run hot water. Do this to your drains twice a month to prevent clogs. Never do this after using chemicals on your drain it will have a bad reaction. I use baking soda and vinegar for scrubbing my bathtub. I also use this on my glass-stove top. Put baking soda were the food is stuck on then pour vinegar over and let sit, then scrub with a scrubbing pad and wipe clean with wet sponge.

Another natural cleaner is hydrogen peroxide. Mix this with one part hydrogen peroxide and two parts water. Spray on mold and wait 2 hours then rinse off. The last thing I would like to mention is to avoid chemical is to boil cinnamon and water as a natural air freshener.
