Despite the ease of cleaning with household chemicals, more and more women are choosing to return to environmentally friendly methods.

Cleaning the toilet with soda
Soda is not the sweet drink you buy in the store. We will make a soda with baking soda and vinegar to clean the toilet and get rid of the unpleasant smell.
Sprinkle the plumbing fixtures (toilet, sink, bathtub) with baking soda and distribute evenly over the surface. We wait a little, and then pour vinegar over everything, while wiping it with a brush. Substances react, releasing bubbles.And the plumbing becomes clean and shiny. Along with the bubbles, the unpleasant odor evaporates.
Polish furniture with lemon juice

Remove lime with lemon and soda
Shiny metal surfaces (faucets, mixers, door handles) can be easily cleaned by wiping them with a lemon cut in half and sprinkled with baking soda.

If the pipe is clogged, soda will help us. And vinegar. Pour 0.75 cups of soda into the hole, then pour 0.5 cups of vinegar into it, leave for 30 minutes. After this, turn on the hot water pressure for 2-3 minutes.
Getting rid of fungus in the bathroom
We need hydrogen peroxide. Only she can cope with mold. Mix it with water in a 1:1 ratio and clean the blackened areas: corners, tile seams, silicone waterproofing.If you treat the area regularly, the fungus will take offense and go away for good.
Removing traces of glue with vodka
And for a snack. To clean the marks left by stickers (children stick them on everything), soak a cloth in vodka or alcohol diluted 1:1 with water, and then wipe the unsightly places. Purely!
Let your home shine clean and smell like freshness, not like a chemical laboratory!
