This year one of my resolutions is to not only clean my house for cheap but also to clean more organically. I wanted to share with you some tips for cleaning on a budget with natural products.
1. Baking Soda
For approximately $1.00 (16 ounces) you can use baking soda to deodorize carpets. We had a issue where our carpets were wet and we sprinkled it on the carpets, left it overnight and vacuumed it in the morning. It was a great natural deodorizer!
You can mix a little baking soda with water to make a paste and wipe down your bathroom sink/tubs.
You can add about a 1/4 cup to your HE washer and it will clean the “smell” away.
You can add it to your dishwasher and run the cycle and it will refresh the inside!
2. White Vinegar
For approximately $1.00 (16 ounces) you can use white vinegar to prevent mildew in your fridge and bathroom! Mix up a 50/50 solution and wipe down your surface.
To brighten whites add 1/2 cup to the rinse cycle when you do laundry.
You can also clean windows and glass with it! Making a 50/50 solution use it as you would glass cleaner.

3. Lemon
For the cost of one lemon you can clean your microwave. Warm a microwave safe bowl filled with water and half of lemon sliced for 30 seconds and it remove any residue and refresh your microwave.
Another tip is that you can use lemons in your garbage disposable. After you clean your microwave run the hot solution down your drain and run your blades. Not only will it sharpen them it will clean out and make your sink smell fresh!
