Bathroom Eco-cleaning: Magical methods
Shining bright, gleaming white:
To clean bathroom tiles, grout, baths and basins firstly run the shower or hot tap for a minute; the steam will loosen any grime and dirt making it easier to remove.
Baking soda is a natural odour absorber and buffing agent, once mixed two to one with lemon juice to produce a cleaning paste it becomes the perfect way to turn a grubby and dull bathroom suite into a gleaming focal area for all the family to enjoy.
Leaving this economical & eco-friendly paste on the desired bathroom areas for just ten minutes, gently rinsing away the formula and buffing with a rag or cloth will result in a ‘like new’ bathroom
A breath of fresh air:
Many cleaning products are perfumed to disguise toxic smells but they still have a harsh tone to them, take into consideration some of these natural bathroom freshening ideas……..
By simply leaving approximately 8 – 10 table spoons of soda in the bowl of your toilet overnight will keep your lavatory fresh and sparkling clean. Believe it or not, effervescent tablets left over night and even flat full fat cola left for only an hour a week can clean toilet bowls due to their abrasive properties!
Also, baking soda combined with a few drops of an essential oil makes a perfect air freshener alternative, just mix and place in the bottom of a decorative vase or holder. Alternatively, a small dab of your favourite aromatic oil on the bathroom light will emit a gentle yet pleasant aroma. Don’t forget that opening a window is the ultimate way to freshen a room!
Mirror mirror:
Windows and bathroom mirrors are easily cleaned and made to gleam using one table spoon of vinegar to every one litre of water, apply with a rag or cloth to gently remove any marks and grime. Removing any excess solution with used newspaper not only results in a perfect reflection but is eco-friendly too!
