Take a healthy step and use lemon, white vinegar and baking soda as your natural disinfectants of choice.
Make your own solution: You will save a lot of money and reduce chemical exposure for you and your loved ones.
For cleaning hard surfaces:
Solution #1:
Mix :
1 cup of white vinegar
2 cups of water
1/3 of cup of organic lemon juice
Solution #2:
Mix:
1 cup of white vinegar
2 tbsp of baking soda
Scrub away: You will get a germ-busting disinfectant to whiten your porcelain sinks, bathtub, shower and toilets. Your white porcelain will sparkle!
Note: You can also use solution #1 and #2 for your grout. Just apply with a toothbrush and scrub the grout. Leave on for 1 hour and rinse.
Use a dye-free, non scratch scrub sponge instead of paper towels and you will have taken a giant green step today!
For your white laundry:
Mix:
1/2 cup of lemon juice
1 cup baking soda
Pour the solution in a container to spot treat (white clothes only) or just add straight to laundry if pre-soaking.
You just have to shake it before you use each time.
Warning: Do not use on porous surfaces, use on white clothes only when adding lemon.
