14 Cleaning My Home
I was just doing a clean of my house when I noticed some mold on some wood and decided to do some research on how to clean mold off wood. I ended up using bleach but that doesn't impress me much. I mean, I'm trying to be environmental and I'm using all sorts of awful detergents that are harmful to the environment.
One thing that it did was make me take a closer look at what I'm doing to clean my home in general. So I thought I would do a bit of investigating in terms of changes that I can make.
Vinegar - I love vinegar on my chips but never really thought about cleaning things in my home with it. I've known some time about the benefits of veingar but never used it. So I went out and bought a big bottle of cheap vinegar and set about cleaning my bathroom with it. It's certainly not got the smell I'm used to but I'm sure I'll get used to it. One thing is for sure - it's really cheap to buy so that will help with the grocery bills for sure!
Steam Cleaner - My mum has a steam cleaner but I don't yet. It's really great because it gets rid of lots of grease and such like from all sorts of surfaces like kitchen surfaces and floors. I know that the other year I got down on my hands and knees to clean the kitchen laminate floor with a scrubing brush and detergent and it really made my muscles sore the next day. With the steam cleaner you just put out jets of steam which loosen off the dirt and then use the cloth to wipe it over.
Bicarbonate of Soda - I heard that if you add some of this in with shampoo it's really good at cleaning greasy hair. So I tried it and it really does work great. I haven't felt my hair so clean in as long as I can remember!
