Cleaning products in a bucket

Follow our sustainable tips on how to go all-natural at home:

  1. Learn to make your own homemade cleaners. This is a truly green way to go. It will help you save money and you can choose what pure ingredients to use. Lemon juice, baking powder and white vinegar will be a perfect substitute for all the cleaning chemicals.
  2. Don’t use commercial air fresheners. Instead give a preference to more natural options. Make a sachet with a mix of grounded coffee and some peppermint oil and place it under the sink, in the fridge or freezer to absorb odors. For delicious autumn smell boil orange peels on a low heat and later add a cinnamon stick and cloves.
  3. If you are not a fan of DIY then choose a commercial green cleaning product. They will work the same as any strong chemicals but won’t hurt your health or the environment.

Be creative, protect your health and the environment.
