Great tips, I really did not know about some of these and I am sure that my family members don't know about these too, they will be pleased to hear them. Baking soda and vinegar are in pretty much every single house in America, so thats just great!

These are some very useful tips for easy home cleaning! Talcum powder also works well in soaking up tea or coffee stains on carpets or clothing. The longer the carpet stays wet, the more germs is attracts.

In my own business I went from nonorganic carpet cleaning products to organic carpet cleaning products to just home made organic cleaning products.

Wow, that is so cool! Inspirational too how you have adapted your business to be green and natural like this. Going organic is one thing (and commendable) but going organic with your homemade cleaning products is impressive! Huge kudos to you!

In my own business I went from nonorganic carpet cleaning products to organic carpet cleaning products to just home made organic cleaning products. Although I must say that there are times where I need to bring out some commercial cleaning produts, for most orders my home made organic cleaners work great. This products include some of the very same product you use in your homes. The best part about it is that I can give these home remedies to my clients without having them spend additional money. Thanks for spreading the word Stefanie.

Learning to clean from scratch—making homemade recipes—can truly work if you take time to understand a bit about the chemistry behind how the materials work.A commonly available mineral full of many cleaning attributes, baking soda is made from soda ash, and is slightly alkaline.It neutralizes acid-based odors in water, and adsorbs odors from the air. Sprinkled on a damp sponge or cloth, baking soda can be used as a gentle non-abrasive cleanser for kitchen counter tops, sinks, bathtubs, ovens, and fiberglass.

I'm a big fan of baking soda - it works a treat. I usually use it for cleaning taps and stuff in the bathroom.

I use baking soda and vinegar almost exclusively and I have to say it works like a charm. I have to scrub harder, though, but better that than use chemicals.

I know I scrubbed pretty hard when I was still using chemical cleaners, too, so scrubbing doesn't bother me!

For the most part, baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice and club soda can clean just about any everyday household mess. Not only do they not contain all of the harsh chemicals of purchased cleaners, but they will certainly save lots of money, too! Thanks for the great suggestions!

Awesome post. It is getting so scary these days with all the chemicals in everything. It's a scary day when having a clean house can be more dangerous than having a dirty one!

I agree! It's great to be able to make or find eco-friendly cleaners because my germophobic side clashes with my green side a lot!
