The Best Natural Cleaning Products, According to Experts
Lots of brands claim to be “natural” or “organic,” but knowing the difference between products that are truly organic, nontoxic, and better for the environment and those that simply claim to be “green” can require a level of expertise most shoppers don’t have or care to acquire. You’d think you could just check the ingredient list, but unfortunately, there are still no federal regulations forcing manufacturers to list the ingredients in their products on packaging
One way to ensure that you know what’s in your cleaning products is to make them yourself. Ask any green-living expert or organic devotee, and they’ll tell you that the best natural cleaning products are regular white vinegar and baking soda, with a little lemon or orange thrown in. For most of us, however, that’s not an option. If you don’t want to mix and bottle your own cleaning products, or would like something with a more pleasant smell, there are many, many choices.
who use it as a scrubbing powder for everything from countertops and bathtubs to floor tiles and kitchen sinks when they need something stronger than plain baking soda.
This one has the refreshing scent of peppermint and tea tree. “I like this product because it adds that extra kick to your cleaning power and can be used on several surfaces, including stainless steel, stove tops, and ceramic tiles,”
recommends this plant-based cleaner that she says works just as well as the chemical-filled ones. She’s a big fan of Better Life’s all-purpose spray, but the company also makes a stainless-steel polish, a product that not many other natural cleaning brands carry.

Clever House Cleaning Hacks
Keep these tricks in your back pocket to make a tough job a tiny bit easier.
One major benefit of living in a lockdown state is that my house is cleaner than ever. With an empty calendar and no competing priorities, Saturday mornings have become house-cleaning time. Oddly, I’ve begun to enjoy it. Perhaps it’s because I don’t feel rushed or squeezed in other areas of my life, so I’m able to give it the time it needs without feeling like I’m missing out on other activities. Or maybe it’s because all five members of my family are stuck in this house 24/7 and a weekly deep-clean is one thing that makes it more manageable!
Clean the shower while you’re in it.
Cleaning a shower is an annoying task, but you can almost eliminate it by doing a quick scrub during a shower. a Clean My Space follower, who says, “I hate cleaning my shower so what I do is I have a dish wand, one of those with handles that you can fill up with soap and I fill it with dish soap and vinegar. Every day I wash down the wall or tub while I’m in there. It’s super easy, super quick, super cheap and my daughter loves to do it as well.” You can also wait till you’re finished showering, then grab a squeegee to wipe down walls and use a rag to mop up the moisture along the bottom.
Illuminate the dirt.
Think how you move your face around to get the ideal angle for taking a picture. Cleaning is similar; you need to look at surfaces from different angles to see the dust and dirt that’s there. Grab a flashlight and shine it in corners, under furniture, and on surfaces to make sure you do a thorough job
Flip rugs over for a deep clean.
Most of us vacuum one side of a rug and call it clean, but if you want to make sure a rug is truly clean, flip it over for a second pass with the vacuum, then flip it again to its proper side and repeat. You can also sprinkle with baking soda and let sit overnight to deodorize, then vacuum several times to remove all traces of baking soda and accumulated gunk.
Open windows as you clean.
Even in the middle of winter, I usually crack the window at least an inch to let in fresh air while cleaning, and obviously more when it’s warmer. The introduction of fresh air immediately takes a room from stale and musty to smelling fresh and clean. It serves a practical purpose, too, helping to flush indoor contaminants (and viral particles) from the air.
Maid Service You Can Trust and Rely On
Love working with Right Touch! When I come home after my cleaners have been over, it feels like I’m stepping into a whole new place. I have two young children and keeping the house clean is an INSANE chore. The moments I feel most relaxed are immediately after Right Touch has been over. It is also worth noting how flexible and kind they were when my youngest daughter fell ill and had to spend weeks in the hospital. They worked with me, even forgave the time I totally forgot I had a cleaning scheduled, and even sent flowers to brighten up our home during a difficult time. Can’t recommend them enough!

easy cleaning jobs to do while in lockdown – for every room of the house
There’s never been a better time to clean our homes from top to bottom. Aren’t we all looking for ways to beat the boredom while in lockdown? What could be better than all those cleaning jobs on the to-do list.
Cleaning is a great way to pass the time and do good. Not only will our homes be spotless but cleaning is thought to be therapeutic – and therefore good to compact any anxiety we might have during these uncertain times.
Clean inside and outside your kitchen cupboards
It’s one of those jobs we all put off, right? Spend this time now to completely empty each and every cupboard. Washing the inside down with soapy water or diluted Zoflora.
Organise kitchen cupboards
Washing is the first job, re-stacking and reorganising the contents of the cupboards counts as a job in itself. Check the sell-by dates on all your food produce before you put them back. Depending how big your kitchen is, these jobs could be best split over a few days?
Wipe on top of kitchen units
No one sees the top but we all know the dust and dirt that hides there. Because it’s hidden its never a priority to clean, until now.
