July 2013 Natural Cleaning Tips from SCR

The Wonder of Baking Soda!

Baking soda can be used to scrub surfaces in much the same way as commercial non-abrasive cleansers. Baking soda is great as a deodorizer.

Place a box in the refrigerator and freezer to absorb odours. Put it anywhere you need deodorizing action. It can be used in rubbish bins, the laundry, and even a teenage boys super smelly sneakers!!

Baking soda is actually one of the most versatile cleaners on the planet.

Every step we take no matter how small helps to save our planet!



Basic Air Freshener Formula

There are so many reasons to give up commercial aerosol room sprays and make your own air freshener spray!

Chlorofluorocarbons are harmful to the planet, and aerosolized chemicals should never be inhaled, yet that is exactly what we do when we spray aerosol air freshener!

As a safe, non-toxic alternative, you can make your own air freshener using baking soda as the base, because it is a natural deodorizer.

You will need:

Baking Soda
Warm water
Lemon juice or your favourite essential oil
small spray bottle

Dissolve 1/8 cup baking soda and 2 cups of warm water in the spray bottle, and shake well to dissolve. Then add several drops of your favorite essential oil. If you don't have essential oil on hand, use 1/8 cup of lemon juice. Citrus is a great choice for this formula, because it smells clean and fresh! Remember to label this bottle, and shake well before each use to mix the fragrance.
