Best Natural Cleaners for Your Home

If you take a trip to your local supermarket, they will probably have an entire aisle dedicated to cleaning. Commercial products are manufactured and sold to help clean your floors, tables, sinks, stoves, toilets, and every other surface in your home. What many people don't know is that these shelves full of cleaners can be replaced with a few simple natural ingredients.

• Baking Soda. Baking soda is one of the most versatile cleaners in the world, and the best part is that it is probably already in your house. It can be used as a non-abrasive cleaning detergent in the kitchen and bathroom or as a deodorizer in the refrigerator and washing machine. Here is an article describing 27 ways to clean with baking soda. 
• Vinegar. Vinegar is another household product which can be used to clean many surfaces in your home. While it can also be used for deodorizing, vinegar really shines (no pun intended) as a stain remover and surface cleaner. Wikihow provides several ways to clean with vinegar in this article.
• Salt. Salt is great for enhancing the taste of your french fries and margaritas, but it is also a useful cleaning ingredient, especially when combined with other items on this list. For example, when combined with vinegar, salt acts as a catalyst to boost its cleaning power. Its coarse texture also makes it a perfect base ingredient for scrubs and pastes. Here are 37 ways you can clean with salt.
• Lemon. Lemons are a great natural deodorizer and polisher for metal surfaces. The strong citrus smell of lemon can usually cut through even the toughest of odors – if your garbage disposal reeks to high heaven, drop a lemon peel in it and run it for 30 seconds. Mother Nature Network has put together this great list of 24 other things you can clean with lemons.
