Soap Nuts Natural Laundry Detergent & Green Cleaning
  • Homemade Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Supplies

    Jul 3

    Although I had great success cleaning different areas of my home with the soap nuts liquid cleaner I mixed up last week I want to share some other great homemade environmentally friendly cleaners with you.

    Check out this great video from Threadbanger for some tips:

    Here are some other excellent videos for homemade cleaners and personal care products like soap.

    This week I’ve been trying out the homemade chemical free cleaner I created with soap nuts liquid, vinegar, and water and I was thrilled with the results.

    Unfortunately I didn’t take the time to take before and after pictures to share just how well it works, but since I have other things I want to try to clean with soap nuts, I will take pictures of the results and share them in the future.

    To give you a few ideas on what I used it on with success:

    • Mildew on grout and shower tiles
    • Painted doors
    • Car windows
    • Cabinets
    • White appliances
    • Chrome faucets
    • Toilet exterior and lid
    • Glass doors on shower enclosure
    • Television screens
    • Computer monitor screen and trim

    We have smokers in our home and often entertain people who smoke, so nicotine build up on the television, computer monitor, glass in pictures, mirrors, and windows and doors is an issue in our home. Although traditional toxic window cleaners will clean the nicotine stains and buildup I much prefer a chemical free, non-toxic glass cleaner which is why I now use soapnuts tea cleaner on all glass surfaces in my home.

    Even my sceptical partner couldn’t deny how it cleaned the finger and hand prints off the inside of our front doors, which are white. We sprayed the  patina on the brass handle of the front door with the soap nuts liquid and it looked brighter.
