Unusual Bathroom Cleaners

Earthsense

So, you’re interested in finding safer ways to clean your home.  Well, safe cleaners may be easier to find than you may think.  For example, caustic cleaners can make it difficult to breath in the enclosed space of your bathroom, but hand held steam cleaners are becoming more popular for disinfecting. 

And, if you have an old electric tooth brush, use it to power away crud. Grout stains can be really tough to get clean, but you can whiten grout by pouring hydrogen peroxide on your grout lines, and then sprinkle baking soda.  Allow it to sit and then scrub with a stiff brush.  Clear drains with one cup of baking soda followed by one cup of vinegar- cover the drain with a damp cloth and let the mixture fizz for about fifteen minutes, then pour a kettle’s worth of boiling water down the drain to flush.
