Let us know by sharing your secret.

1. Grandma Knows Best 

Most cleaning products that are natural are a lot less costly and less harmful than commercial cleaners. These natural cleaners are used by grandmothers that stick to their custom solutions to disinfect and cleanse the home. Normally what is included in these custom solutions are:

• Baking Soda – scrubber
• White Vinegar – disinfectant
• Lemon Juice – cuts through grease & fresh scent
• Olive Oil – polishes wood

2. Wood Surfaces and Green Cleaning

Olive Oil and Vinegar is one of the best combinations for wooden floors. It is a natural way of not only picking up dirt but also polishing. 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1 gallon of hot water will work wonders for your wooden floor.

3. Sun is Shining

Having a clean window without any streaks is a great way to stare out and catch the sunrise or sunset. To clean your window naturally, add 1/4 cup of vinegar to 3 cups of water. With this, the Swipe N Clean team suggests a small drop of liquid detergent. Lastly, you want to avoid using paper towel and instead clean with newspaper.

4. Bake It Up

The bathroom cleaning is a tricky one at times given the lack of ventilation that this room gets. Which is why green cleaning here makes a lot of sense. Baking soda with vinegar is the ideal mix to clean your toilet and tile.

5. Let Your House Breathe

It is essential to make sure your home smells clean. However, the clean smell will go away after hours at most a day. In order to eliminate odors in the home until your next clean, the best way to get some fresh air is to crack a window. Through this you are allowing your home a much needed break!
