I admit that I love cleaning my house to a shine and I love doing it with products that I know clean, including products that I know can be toxic. On the flip-side, I know there are plenty of products that are much better for my household than my Clorox Bleach. Here are six that are non-toxic and two that you will need to be careful with.
1. Baking soda: gritty for scrubbing and reacts with water, vinegar or lemon by fizzing. Speed up cleaning.
2. Borax: disinfects, bleaches, deodorizes. Toxic.
3. White Vinegar: disinfects and breaks up dirt. Choose white vinegar.
4. Hydrogen Peroxide: Disinfects and bleaches. Can also be used in Toothpastes but do not swallow.
5. Lemons: cuts grease and grime. Can be combined with salt and water to clean burnt coffee pots.
6. Olive oil: Polishes wood much like lemon oil.
7. Vegetable based soap like Dr. Bronners castille soap:
8. Washing soda: stain remover, helps unblock pipes…Toxic.
