Using baking soda
Baking soda is a highly effective and readily available natural product for cleaning and deodorizing the home. It’s non-toxic and very economical, making it an ideal household product.
For hard surfaces, mix a cup of baking soda with warm water and use it as a cleaner. You can also sprinkle baking soda on carpets or cushions and vacuum to absorb moisture and eliminate odors.
In addition, you can mix it with white vinegar to create a powerful solution that can be used to clean tiles, countertops, etc.
Essential oil alternatives
Essential oils are a natural and highly effective alternative for cleaning the whole house. They are very powerful and have antiseptic, antibacterial and purifying properties. They can be used to clean floors, walls, furniture, and all household surfaces.
There are several types of essential oil that can be mixed with water to create a highly effective natural cleaning product. Some oils also have anti-foaming properties that enable them to clean thoroughly without leaving streaks or residues.
It’s important to note that not all essential oils are suitable for all surfaces. For example, some essential oils are not suitable for wood or leather, while others are perfectly suited to these materials.
Similarly, some essential oils may not be compatible with chemicals or synthetic materials. So it’s important to check which essential oil is best suited to each surface before cleaning.
Using natural cleaning products
We can use natural cleaning products to clean, disinfect, and sanitize our homes. They are effective, ecological, and economical. Here are a few alternatives based on natural products:
- White vinegar: useful for cleaning, disinfecting, and degreasing surfaces
- Lemon juice: anti-bacterial and can also be used as a stain remover
- Baking soda: highly effective for removing unpleasant odors
- Essential oils: anti-bacterial and help create a pleasant atmosphere
These natural cleaning products can be added to hot water, making them even more effective. Heat also helps eliminate unpleasant odors. It’s important to read the instructions on the product packaging for safe and effective use.
Eliminating unpleasant odours with heat
It can be difficult to get rid of the unpleasant odors that build up in a home, and while regular cleaning is an effective way to combat these smells, there are other, more natural methods of eradicating them.
One of these is the use of heat. Heating fabrics and surfaces can easily deodorize a room. For example, air-drying a bedspread or pillows on a chair can easily eliminate odors and harmful bacteria.
Heat can also be used to release odorous molecules by heating fabrics in a microwave oven for a few minutes. This method is particularly effective for disinfecting towels and carpets.
It’s always important to maintain proper hygiene to avoid moisture and perspiration odors in your mattress. The homemade tips mentioned above are easy to implement and can go a long way to eliminating unwanted odors.
Don’t hesitate to incorporate additional methods to ensure restful sleep and good hygiene, including the use of fresh sheets and regular ventilation of your mattress.
