Cleaning with organic products not only protects your family's health but also furthers the health of the environment and it only takes a few small changes. There are many company's out there providing affordable, high-quality products that keep your home clean and family healthy.
We at Bayes have chosen to be on of those companies, because we know you are busy and shouldn't have to over think what's very simple for us to do. Some products are simple to make but have special and more rare ingredient combinations that make the product even more efficient. One example is our organic granite counter top cleaner, that not only cleans granite counter tops, but also deep conditions them, causing them to last longer and maintain their elegance.
However, for more simple projects, some very basic ingredients can get the job done! By buying these low-cost organic ingredients, you save money while improving your life and the quality of the lives around you!
Top Ingredients:
Vinegar: White vinegar is effective at dissolving grease and makes a great surface cleaner in the kitchen and bathroom. Vinegar works well because of its acidic nature and antibacterial effect. Japanese research found that the bactericidal activity of vinegar increased as the temperature of its solution increased, underscoring the need for double benefit of warm cleaning solutions. Mix 1 cup of vinegar with water in a bucket or spray bottle and use it to clean windows and mirrors to toilets and floors.
Baking Soda: Baking soda deodorizes and has an abrasive quality that out shines toxic, powdered cleansers. Use on surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen to remove stains or even clean the inside of a messy oven. Adding salt can provide a boost in scrubbing power.
Lemon Juice: The inclusion of lemon in many commercially available cleaning products is one rare area where they got it right! Lemon juice kills mold, cuts through grease, and leaves a streak-free shine. The applied food science laboratory in Lincoln Nebraska examined the ability for lemon oil to inhibit mold growth by applying a coating of lemon juice and vinegar to roast beef. This was found to support prevention of spore germination and outgrowth. Combine lemon juice with vinegar or olive oil to make compound cleaning products that work harder and provide a natural scent.
Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide has a bubbling action that is amazing with hard-to-clean situations. Fill a spray bottle with a HP and water mixture, keep it near the laundry area as it can be a great spot cleaner.
Olive Oil: Polishing wood with with olive oil and lemon juice moisturizes it and provides amazing shine with a fresh scent. Blend 1 cup of olive oil and 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a spray bottle, mist onto a soft cloth and polish wood furniture the natural way. (reposted with gratitude from the Global Healing Center)
