My Top 10 Natural Cleaning Products

 

natural cleaning products

 

Today on Breakfast Television, we talked about spot cleaning and how to remove stains around the house. Sure there are very many commercial products available to purchase (the Bar Keeper Friend is one of my utmost favourite) but no need to go this far. Here are 10 great natural cleaning products to make with stuff you already probably have around the house.

Lemons

A natural disinfectant and cleaner, the juice of a lemon is a miracle worker when it comes to cleaning your home.

1. Clean brass, copper by sprinkling coarse salt on a lemon half and rubbing the surface with it. Rinse thoroughly.

2. Clean stubborn soap scum from a shower door by dipping a half lemon into baking powder and scrubbing the surface. Rinse with water.

Bienvenue

Vanessa Sicotte

Hi I'm Vanessa. Welcome to what has been my online home since 2009. I am first and foremost a wife & mom of three + the loving human of our cocker spaniel, Phoenix.

I am also an interiors curator, a colour junkie {obsessed with all things blue}, and an eternal optimist with a visceral inclination towards wanderlust. I am the author of two books and I have the privilege to share my passion as a decor specialist on television.

Welcome to Damask & Dentelle, a lifestyle blog with an eye for design. It is where the lovely things land.

I write in both English mais aussi dans la belle langue de Molière.
