Here are 10 green cleaning recipes to have in your arsenal:
1. Surface Cleaner: To get countertops and cutting boards squeaky clean (not marble or stainless steel), use a cut lemon dipped in baking soda. Wipe clean afterwards with a wet sponge.
2. Scouring Paste: Scour tough dirt and rust stains with a mixture of salt and lemon juice.
3. Drain Cleaner: To break up clogs, pour ½ cup baking soda down the drain, followed by ½ cup white vinegar. Wait 15 minutes, and then flush with four cups of boiling water (or hot tap water for plastic pipes).
4. Window Cleaner: Mix together ¼ cup white vinegar, 1 Tbsp cornstarch, and 2 cups warm water in a spray bottle. Shake well to dissolve cornstarch.
5. Sink, Stainless Steel, and Grout Cleaner: To remove hard water stains from your sink, make a paste with baking soda and water. Using a toothbrush, gently scrub the paste into your sink, pouring small amounts of white vinegar onto the paste to help with tough stains.
6. Toilet Cleaner: Combine 2 Tbsp tea-tree oil and 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. Shake, spritz along the rim of the bowl, and let sit for 30 minutes before flushing or scrubbing.
7. Garbage Disposal Freshener: Cut a lemon into slices and run through the disposal for a fresh, clean scent.
8. Soap Scum Dissolver: Heat 1 cup of white vinegar in the microwave and then combine in a spray bottle with 1 cup dish detergent. Spray in your shower or sink and wait one minute before wiping off.
9. Natural Disinfectant: To knock out germs and icky bacteria, mix together 2 cups of water, 3 tablespoons dish soap, and 20 to 30 drops tea-tree oil.
10. Grease Stain Remover: Sprinkle cornstarch onto fresh grease spots and let sit 20-30 minutes before vacuuming.
