Tea Tree Oil
-
Keep your toilets and sinks germ-free armed with this natural disinfectant. Mix drops of tea tree oil with liquid soap to create a disinfectant as effective as bleach, but easier on your lungs.
Vinegar
-
Vinegar, although pungent in odor, can tackle almost any job needed in the bathroom. Use it with newspaper for a sparkling mirror or spray on mildew and wipe away. If the smell is too much for you to bear, you can substitute club soda for a similar effect.

Lemon juice
-
Use lemon juice for a sparkling mirror, counter cleaner or mildew remover. Mix with half water in a spray bottle. It also provides a fresh scent and acts as deodorizer for sinks and drains.
Kosher Salt
-
If you have a tough stain in your sink or tub, sprinkle a little kosher salt on it. Rub with a bristle brush to remove the stain.
Baking Soda
-
Baking soda is a multi-purpose product to keep in your home and not just for a tasty biscuit. Baking soda is one of the best products to use for a natural way to remove odors. Use it to deodorize and unclog drains. Baking soda will also keep your tile shinning.
