Having a clean and shiny, effortless home is the dream of anyone who has to take care of household chores, whether woman or man.
Doing it with only natural ingredients and seeing how everything comes back as good as new, may not really be a dream, but rather an applicable reality. Curious to know what it is?
Household chores, a necessary job
Unless you want to end up in one of those programs in which only a company specialized in clearances and disinfestations can free us, the house is cared for and cleaned more or less daily.
The smartest, people who work outside the home and those who cannot afford a domestic helper, prepare a sort of roadmap, in which for each day of the week you must (mandatorily) take care of doing work in the house.
For example, given the unhappy economic period, to save on bills, Saturdays and Sundays can be used for washing machines and irons. Always of course if you have joined the bi-time slot.
In the end, it is simply a matter of readapting certain habits and not succumbing to what are the customs of civil life.
In addition, if we want to go further, we also have the various tips such as Marie Kondo and the like that make these operations lighter in the end, even without having so much technology at home, as happens to see on some viral videos on social platforms.
Clean and shiny house? A few ingredients are enough
Supermarkets abound in household products, to the point that we happen to have many packs of detergents and various degreasers in the place intended for detergents.
Odors in the house tend to accumulate, fabric sofas and curtains work like sponges that absorb. These are smells that live in the house end up no longer “feeling”, as the sense of smell gets used to it.
However, once you return home, you end up smelling the smell of fried food from the night before. Here we run to spread deodorant sprays or light scented candles or electrical appliances that spread a different scent.
Yet the solution could be simpler and cheaper, to make a floor cleaner (an element present everywhere in the house), able to perfume any room and at the same time clean it perfectly.
Let’s see what you need for the preparation of this cheap DIY cleaner to have a clean and shiny home.
Ingredients for a clean and shiny home
- 1 cup baking soda,
- 1 bowl,
- 2 tablespoons of fabric softener,
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla,
- 2 tablespoons of baby oil,
- 1 tablespoon of liquid detergent,
- 1 tablespoon of white vinegar,
- disposable gloves.
Preparation
The composition of this detergent capable of cleaning and at the same time scenting the home is very simple, let’s start by taking a bowl into which we will pour a cup full of baking soda.
To the baking soda we will have to add the other ingredients, so the fabric softener, of the fragrance we love most and everything else.
Finally, with a spoon mix the ingredients and wearing disposable gloves, prepare balls with the palm of your hands, as if they were small meatballs.
We compact them by adding liquid if necessary, a little water is also fine and finally we store them in a plastic container with a lid.
They will end up in the bucket to wash the floors, just one will be enough to perfume and clean the house whenever we want, in this way we can have a clean and shiny home, using only natural products.
It is good for any porcelain stoneware, ceramic or any other floor flooring.
