I believe the previous article was good for you. This time we continue with the rest awesome eco-friendly cleaning tips.- Kitchen. Kitchen is often one of the most dirty rooms in a house. This is the place where all the food is stored. There possibility of getting the whole place messed up, if you are not careful. Moreover, pest and insects are going to invade your house only because of the spilled food. So make sure the kitchen is always perfectly cleaned. A good advice is to start sweeping the floors from the corners towards the centre. That way you will have all the debris and food spilled in the centre, so you could easily remove it later. Here comes baking soda to help you once again. You can easily clean the counter with baking soda. You could scrub the surfaces by using a damp cloth or a sponge. If the stains are stubborn, I advise you to form a thick paste comprised of baking soda and water. Apply some of the paste, let it sit and then remove it. You could use this practice for cleaning cutting boards, containers, fridges and many more. The hygiene level needs to be very high, especially in the kitchen. You can easily make a natural disinfectant by mixing water, liquid soap and tea tree oil. Just place the solution in a spray bottle and then spray the affected surfaces. Then rub with an old cloth for example.
- Wood floors. As I have already mentioned, you need to clean your floor often. I have adopted the habit of cleaning my floors twice a day – once early in the morning and then later in the night. That way the floors don’t get dirty really fast. Most of the wood floors are really beautiful and add class to your home. However, keeping your wood floors clean is definitely not an easy task. Sometimes you will need professional services. If you are just settling into your new home, I advise you to schedule expert cleaning services in Westminster. They use eco-friendly cleaning tools to make your wood floors sparkling. You can use a solution of vinegar and water. Take a spray bottle and pour equal part warm water and vinegar. Take a mop and sweep around the floors.
- Oven cleaning. Dirty ovens are probably the most awful things to be cleaned. Most of my friends always book experts for cleaning the ovens. The bad thing is that most of the dirty spots require chemical cleaning solutions, which are really harmful for you and your family. A great alternative is to use baking soda and water. Just make a paste by mixing them together, and apply a thin layer on the inside of the oven. It is important to let the paste sit for the night. The next day you will find how easy the grime is removed.

If you have no lemons nearby, you can just use some vinegar. Don’t forget to let the citric acid sit, before scrubbing the surface. You can even substitute bleach for disinfecting tiles. I recommend you pour two cups of water, several tablespoons of liquid soap and a few drops of tea tree oil. This solution is really strong, but I advise you to disinfect your tiles often, because, as you know floors are the high traffic areas.
