Default Green Cleaning / Cleaning Blog

I love this blog. I've been using many of the cleaning techniques that I learned from this blog, and have eliminated bleach and almost all other harmful and toxic cleansers from my home.

http://www.howtocleanthings.com/blog/

An example:

How to clean soap scum off shower doors. Remember how you made the baking soda paste earlier? Now do the same thing with corn starch. Once you have your paste, smear it onto the shower doors and scrub gently with a sponge. Once the entire surface has been scrubbed, wipe all of the corn starch off with a damp rag or two. Next, rinse the doors with either the shower head or a pitcher of water. Finally, using a liberal amount of straight white vinegar, spray the shower doors down and wipe them off with a your rag of choice. If you want—and I recommend it—once your shower doors are dry, apply a water repellent. This will help to keep soap and minerals in the water from collecting on your shower doors. While a product like Rain-X works well for this, I strongly recommend using G-Glass Rain Repellent from Green Earth Technologies

Gosh, I love things like this.

My mum buys white vinegar just for me when I clean the bathroom for her

I like how they have cleaning instructions for everything from shower heads to double-barrel revolvers.
