I use vinegar to clean plenty of things, including mirrors and glass table tops. We even pour a tad bit in our bath water from time to time, because it is an excellent natural cleanser. DO NOT USE VINEGAR to clean *hardwood floors (this was new to me) *stone floor tiles *granite and marble countertops* the acid in vinegar can etch natural stone...according to GoodHouseKeeping.com.
How about using essential oils to clean. That can be a bit expensive, but may be worth it. Tea Tree oil, I love. It has anti-bacterial properties and smells fresh and clean. Lemon oil smells nice and clean and also has an astringent property to freshen up a space and will cut grease. Lavender disinfects surfaces and is included in cleaning products by major manufacturers already.
Here is a recipe I found online for tub and tile cleaning.
3/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup Castile soap (which you can find at Walmart or HEB)
1 tablespoon water
10 drops of lemon essential oil
in a spray bottle
Lemon is a favorite for me. I love the smell and add it to everything from foods, drinks and cleaning solutions.
I pray everyone is keeping safe and choosing wisely. We get cabin fever, and thank God for the adjustments we have been able to make in a climate of global change that affects us all...neighbor to neighbor. I hope this is helpful information. We have enough junk to breathe in with the Air we have... something natural might make it a bit easier to breathe well and good. Peace.
