Home Cleaning Remedies

Home Cleaning Remedies – Some say chance is the mother of invention, and home cleaning solutions are no exception. Someone discovered, at some point in time, that cleaning a spill made the surface shiny. And maybe got this crazy idea to use vinegar, or ketchup, or lemon juice to try to clean a difficult stain, and discovered it worked.

Silver, gold, copper, ceramics, glass, and many other materials can be cleaned with home prepared mixtures of common household products. Many of these ingredients can be found in the kitchen, as it can be considered a kind of laboratory in every home. Some of the benefits of these solutions is that they are generally very inexpensive, are readily available and don’t contain harmful chemicals.

Home Cleaning Remedies For Toilet Bowl

home cleaning remediesThe bathroom is a place that has many applications for home cleaning remedies. Toilet bowls usually get stained over time. To make these stains disappear add about eight ounces of undiluted chlorine bleach into the water and wait about half an hour. After the wait use a toilet brush to scrub the remaining residues. You will get a clean as new toilet bowl.

Home Cleaning Remedies For Cobwebs

A quick an easy fix to remove cobwebs and other hard to reach areas is to just put on a sock on the tip of a broom stick or a similar long stick. You can secure the sock with a rubber band or a small piece of wire or tie. This will allow you clean hard to reach spots, like ceilings, wall corners, under the stove or refrigerator, behind or under furniture, etc.

Home Cleaning Remedies For Windows

Vinegar and newspapers. Glass surfaces, like windows, table tops and mirrors can be easily cleaned with a mixture of one tablespoon of white vinegar diluted in two quarts of water. Just spray the cleaning solution over the surfaces and wipe them off with a piece of newspapers. No streaks and squeaky clean!

Home Cleaning Remedies For Stoves/Ovens

The stove is always a challenge, particularly the oven with all those hard to reach spots, and all those burned in residues. Using a small glass container, fill it with about four ounces of undiluted ammonia and place it inside the oven, with the door closed before going to bed. The ammonia gas released from the container will soften the dirt and grime, and most of it can be easily cleaned away with a damp cloth or some kitchen paper towels. For the larger accumulations of grease you can use a steel wool to lightly brush them away. After you removed the heavier deposits, use a clean damp cloth to do the final cleaning.

Home Cleaning Remedies For Adhesive Residue

Tapes and stickers often leave a tough residue of glue after they are removed or fall off. Scrubbing alone or with water usually only manages to smear the stain around. Try wetting the stain with vinegar, and then try scrubbing. Or you can try soaking it with a few drops of kitchen oil for a few moments, and then just wipe it off.

Home Cleaning Remedies For Drains

Soda ash (sodium carbonate) can be used to dissolve greasy buildup clogging drains. Mix about a pound of soda ash (also called washing soda) with boiling water (around 3 gallons should do the job) and pour this recipe into directly into the drain. Just be careful with the boiling water. This will usually clean the drains and restore the flow.

Home Cleaning Remedies For Non-Stick Cookware

People don’t generally like scrubbing the non-stick surface of skillets and pans, and they can collect grime over time. Heating a mixture of 4 ounces of chlorine bleach, 2 tablespoons of baking soda with eight ounces of water in the dirty pan, without letting it boil, after a few minutes will loosen the residues. Next just take it off the fire and just wash normally with warm water and dish soap.
