The natural home guide
Natural cleaning: the six ingredients and how to use them safely
The six ingredients
| Ingredient | Best for | Never on |
|---|---|---|
| White vinegar | Limescale, glass, shower screens | Marble, stone, waxed wood |
| Baking soda | Gentle scrubbing, smells, ovens | Mixed in a bottle with vinegar |
| Liquid castile soap | Floors, sinks, everyday wiping | Mixed with vinegar (it curdles) |
| Washing soda | Heavy grease, laundry boost | Bare hands, aluminium |
| Lemons | Light grease, chopping boards, smells | Marble |
| Microfibre cloths | Dust and grease with less product | Fabric softener in their wash |
Recipes room by room
- All-purpose spray: 250 ml white vinegar, 250 ml water, label it. Not for stone.
- Stone-safe spray: 500 ml warm water, 1 teaspoon castile soap.
- Scrub paste: 3 tablespoons baking soda, 1 tablespoon water.
- Oven: baking soda paste spread thick, left overnight, wiped and rinsed.
- Glass: 1:1 vinegar and water, lint-free cloth, dry polish.
- Fridge smells: an open jar of baking soda, changed monthly.
Quick win
Soak a limescaled shower head in a bag of white vinegar for an hour, then rinse. No scrubbing.
What never to mix
Bleach with vinegar, lemon or any acid makes chlorine gas. Bleach with ammonia makes chloramine gas. Hydrogen peroxide with vinegar makes a corrosive acid. Baking soda and vinegar sealed together can build pressure and burst a bottle. Keep each product in its own labelled bottle and use one at a time, rinsing between.
Watch out
If you mix products by mistake and the air stings, leave the room, open windows and get fresh air. Call your local poison centre if anyone feels unwell.
Fresh air instead of fragrance
A home that smells of nothing is a clean home. Open windows for ten minutes every morning, run the extractor when you cook and open a window after showers. Swap plug-ins and sprays for simmered lemon peel and a cinnamon stick when you want a scent. Go easy on essential oils in cleaners if you have cats.
Storing and labelling
Use dedicated spray bottles, never food or drink containers. Label each one with the recipe and the date, keep them high and away from children and pets, and make small batches you use within a month.
Quick check
Your shower has limescale and you have bleach and vinegar. Best move?
FAQ
Questions people ask about natural home
What can I use instead of bleach at home?
For everyday cleaning, castile soap and water, a vinegar spray for glass and limescale and baking soda for scrubbing. For disinfecting after illness, follow the contact time on a tested product.
Is it safe to mix vinegar and baking soda?
It is not dangerous in an open bowl, but they cancel each other out and should never be sealed in one bottle.
Can I use vinegar on every surface?
No. Keep it off marble, limestone, some granite sealants and waxed wood.
How long do homemade cleaners last?
About a month for water-based sprays. Label the date and make small batches.
Are essential oils good in cleaning sprays?
They add scent but are not needed to clean. Skip them or use very little if you have cats or small children.
