A clean and shiny house, these ingredients are enough: everything is like new again

By liliaturcin5

Having a clean and shiny house without working hard is the dream of any person who has to deal with household chores, be it a woman or a man.

Making it only with natural ingredients and seeing how everything comes back like new may not exactly be a dream, but an applicable reality. Are you curious to know what it is?

Housework, a necessary job

Unless you want to end up in one of those programs in which only a company specialized in cleaning and disinfestation can free us,  the house is cared for and cleaned more or less daily.

The smartest ones, those who work outside the home  and those who cannot afford a maid  , prepare a kind of  roadmap,  in which for each day of the week they must (  obligatory) take care of  doing the work at home.

For example, given the bad economic times, to save on bills, Saturdays and Sundays can be  used for washing machines and irons. Always of course  if you have joined the two-hour slot.

In the end it is simply a matter of  readjusting certain habits  and not succumbing to the customs of civilized life.

In addition, if we want to go further, we also have several tips like  Marie Kondo’s  and similar that in the end make these operations lighter, even without having much technology at home, as  seen in some viral videos on the networks. social. .

Clean and sparkling house? A few ingredients are enough

Supermarkets abound in household products,  to the point that we happen to have, in the place designated for detergents, many packets of  various detergents and degreasers. 

Odors in the house tend to accumulate  , fabric sofas and curtains work like  absorbent sponges  . They are smells that live in the house and end up not “smelling”, since  the sense of smell gets used to it.

However, once you return home, you end up smelling perhaps  the smell of fried food from the night before. Here we run to spread deodorant sprays or lit scented candles or appliances that  spread a different smell.

Without thinking that above  all sprays pollute  , just like spray cans and every time they are used they also release a cloud of polluting particles into the air, the so-called “  volatile organic compounds  ”, these are chemical compounds that allow  the spray effect to be produced. .

But the solution could be simpler and cheaper,  manufacturing a floor cleaner  (an element present everywhere in the house), capable of perfuming each room and at the same time cleaning it perfectly.

Let’s see what it takes to prepare this cheap DIY cleaner for  a sparkling clean house.

Ingredients for a sparkling clean home

  • 1 cup baking soda,
  • 1 bowl,
  • 2 tablespoons of fabric softener,
  • 1 spoon of vanilla,
  • 2 tablespoons of baby oil,
  • 1 tablespoon liquid detergent,
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar,
  • disposable gloves.

Preparation

The composition of this detergent capable of cleaning and at the same time perfuming the house is very simple, let’s start by taking a bowl into which we will pour  a cup full of baking soda.

We will have to add the other ingredients to the baking soda, so  the fabric softener,  the fragrance that we like the most  and everything else.

Finally  , mix the ingredients  with a spoon and with disposable gloves,  prepare balls with the palm of your hand  , as if they were small meatballs.

We compact them by adding liquid if necessary, even a little water is fine and finally  we store them in a plastic container with a lid.

They will end up in the bucket to wash the floors, one will be enough to perfume and clean the house whenever we want, this way we can  have a clean and shiny house  ,  using only natural products.

It is good for any porcelain, ceramic or any other floor.
