Organic cleaning ingredients

There are many ways you can clean your home without resorting to chemical cleanng products. Though by using these products, you may remove bacteria, mould and fungus.What remains thereafter is a worse health threat - namely chemical residues. Longterm exposure to these toxins can cause allergies, headaches, asthma, attention deficit disorder and even cancer.

To avoid poisoning your home and yourself, switch to organic or natural cleaning agents instead. An easy cleansing agent to make for general cleaning would be to mix half a cup of white wine vinegar with about 3 litres of hot water in a bucket. Safe to use on linoleums, tiles, hardwood or any washable surface.

A very effective grease remover for would be to mix a quarter glass of lemon juice with 1 litre of hot water. Lemon juice helps remove grease form wood and metal easily.
