4 Fantastic DIY Home cleaners

1. Grout Cleaner For Ceramic Tiles183244_6951

  • 7 cups        water
  • 1/2 cup      baking soda
  • 1/3 cup      lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup      vinegar

Pop all ingredients into a large jug or container and mix slowly to combine. The baking soda and vinegar will fizz so combine over a sink.

Pour into a spray bottle and spray over a small surface, or pour into a bucket and liberally mop over the larger surface. Leave for a few minutes then scrub, scrub, scrub!

Lemon juice can etch or damage marble stone when left on too long or not cleaned off properly.

2. Homemade Cream Cleaner

Here’s a very easy recipe to make your own homemade cream cleanser (like Jif!) – it’s suitable for kitchens and bathrooms, especially the basins.

  • 1 3/4 cups bicarbonate of soda
  • Approx 2/3 cup of dishwashing liquid
  • Mix together to make a creamy substance. You may add about 10 drops of such as lavender, lemon or orange.
  • Add to an old shampoo or dishwashing liquid bottle

3. Homemade freshener

  • 30ml of your favourite smelling fabric softener (not made up)
  • 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda
  • enough water to fill a spray bottle
  • A spray bottle

All the ingredients to a spray bottle and shake well. Label accordingly and use it to freshen up the house and get rid of odours!

4. Dishwasher tablets

Add a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda and three to four drops of eucalyptus oil to the soap dispenser. Wash on a hotter than usual wash.
