Best All Natural Cleaners to Use Around the Home


If you take a look under your sink, you'll probably find an assortment of store-bought cleaning products. Cleaners for your kitchen. Cleaners for your toilet. Cleaners for your shower. Cleaners for your windows. The list goes on and on.

What you may not know is that these cleaners contain dozens of toxic chemicals – even those which are labeled as “all natural”. Ditch these products and use the natural cleaning ingredients below instead. Not only are they a healthier alternative, but they are cheaper too.

  • Vinegar. Vinegar is mother nature's all purpose cleaner. It can be used to clean and disinfect a nearly any surface in your home, and is a powerful stain remover. WikiHow shows a variety of ways to clean with vinegar here.
  • Baking Soda. You may use baking soda to deodorize your refrigerator, but it can be used for so much more. In addition to removing odors from your fridge and laundry, baking soda is a non-abrasive cleaner that can be used on metals, countertops, floors, and more. Combine with vinegar to make your very own all-purpose cleaner.
  • Lemon. The strong citrus scent of lemon can be used to overpower even the most foul of odors. Use it to clean your garbage disposal, grout, faucets and handles, and much more. Click here for a list of 24 things you can clean with a lemon.
  • Salt. You use salt on your eggs and margaritas, but did you know you can also use it for tough cleaning jobs around the house? Salt is an abrasive cleaning agent, meaning you can use it to scrub away really tough grime like greasy pans or mildew spots. When combined with vinegar or lemon, it acts as a catalyst, boosting cleaning power and forming a strong cleaning paste.
