I do not enjoy cleaning. But I'll enjoy cleaning so much more knowing that I am actually leaving surfaces naturally clean instead of using toxic chemicals with their residue and off-gassing around my home.
XXXOOO.
Definitely going to be trying out the window cleaner. I wonder if you could replace the corn starch with something, my daughter is allergic. Any ideas? There are a couple of recipes on cleenco.co.uk of a similar chemistry but they still use the corn starch too!
ReplyDeleteHi, Thomas. Thank you for coming over and for leaving a comment! To my knowledge, the cornstarch gives the solution a bit more grit/tooth so that it is more like a paste. There are several recipes that just skip the cornstarch step all together, only using liquids and they seem to work well, just not as highly effective as the cornstarch blend. I'm sure that doesn't help- but I'm sorry I don't have a cornstarch substitute for you. Sorry to hear about your daughter's cornstarch allergy. I, too, have a child with allergies and we're always working around ingredients. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThis post is truly helpful for home owners or renters out there who need help on how to clean green like me at my apartments near Duke University. Also, I strongly agree with ditching paper towels. Renters should use cloth rags instead which they can reuse as much as they can.
ReplyDeleteHello Kris, thank you for commenting, I'm glad that this was a helpful read for you. Cloth rags instead of paper towels is the way to go when cleaning. I'm experimenting with a few tutorials I've found about making your own roll of reusable cloth towels...I'll be sharing soon, so keep stopping back in! Thanks for reading!

so glad you think so! I never used to clean with natural ingredients until I had a headache one day after using some horrid spray with what I thought was just bleach in it. I read the ingredients and thought, "I am never using this in my home again"...it is literally toxic to me and to my family and reviewing my receipts I can't believe how much I paid for cleaning products. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on this post!
DeleteI gotta say you impressed me, Amy! I hate cleaning too, but I find your tricks exciting, so I’m gonna have to try this with my children this weekend. I’ve tried some of the homemade cleaners listed above. They’re like magic! Thank you for sharing. I hope to see more of this here on your blog. Cheers! -
