Cleaning Tips and Tricks

There’s great green products you can find on the market, like Blueland that I use for a while now. However, if your goal is to go greener at the lowest cost, making your own products will be the best way. 

The problem with homemade products is that we are under the impression that it’s not cleaning as well as the big brands we are use to. Actually, we are right! Our little concoctions can’t work as fast as highly chemicals base products when it come to grease but it will work with a 30 seconds of patience. We have to remember why we are doing this, it could be our part for the environment, to save money or simply because we want to use less chemicals on everything around us. 

Since COVID started, commercial products with disinfecting properties regained popularity and with reason. I think it’s important to stay safe during this pandemic and sanitize as much as needed. 

Given those points, it doesn’t mean that we need to use chemicals on everything we are cleaning and every time. If I disinfect my countertop today after coming back from the grocery, I don’t need to disinfect it again every time I need to clean it if nobody leaves the house. I repeat though, it’s extremely important to stay safe and sanitize when we are coming back from places where we were in contact with people outside our family bubble.    

With all that said, I am sharing with you some good homemade recipes that I tried and liked for their efficacy to do the job.
