How to clean all the rooms in the house?

Sanitary facilities

  • A bathroom is a place that must be well ventilated to avoid the growth of mold. This avoids the use of too-biting products and prevents the risk of allergies posed by the development of these microorganisms.
  • Earthenware, floors … are maintained with a multi-purpose cleaner based on plant surfactants or with black soap. In the presence of limestone, you can rinse the tiles with vinegar water or even pure vinegar (except on marble or bluestone!).
  • The bathtub, the sink, the shower tray are very easy to maintain with baking soda (abrasive) or hot water with added soda crystals (degreaser).
  • Daily maintenance of the siphons to remove hair and other soap residues will avoid a lot of inconveniences. If the siphon is clogged, vent it with a 50/50 (v / v) mixture of salt and baking soda, to which is added a glass of vinegar. Leave to act, pour boiling water. If this is not enough, disassemble the siphon if it is accessible or call a plumber.

Do not use a chemical unblocker: polluting it is also dangerous and will pose risks to the person who will have to dismantle the siphon if necessary.

The kitchen

  • To descale kettles and other saucepans, use vinegar brought to a boil, let cool and rinse well. Ditto for the sole of the iron (polished with a cotton ball soaked in vinegar.
  • Kitchen utensils such as wooden spoons and planks are sanitized and deodorized by a vinegar bath.
  • The traditional oven can be effectively cleaned by moistening the walls and then sprinkling baking soda on it. Leave to dry for an hour and wipe with a cloth … It works!
  • If you have a pyrolysis oven, raising the temperature during the cleaning cycle is a very effective way to fight against microorganisms, but be particularly careful with the ventilation of the kitchen and the suction of your hood. . Indeed, the calcination of fats releases benzopyrenes and other carcinogenic hydrocarbons which spread in the kitchen and contaminate food …
  • The microwave oven is maintained by placing a bowl of water with a slice of lemon. Heat until a large quantity of steam has formed. Then wipe off with an absorbent cloth.
  • As for the refrigerator, it is probably the most risky place in the kitchen. Yersinia, Listeria, Salmonella and other bacilli survive a long time in foods stored in the refrigerator. These microorganisms form a biofilm which is deposited everywhere!
  • To clean the fridge, it is not enough to lift the biofilm with a surfactant. You have to lower the pH with a product like vinegar; washing the inside of your refrigerator (in all corners!) with a cloth soaked in vinegar is necessary (twice a month).
  • Finally, let’s not forget that to get rid of the dried or annealed fat on the stove top, it is best to wet it beforehand and let it soak for a while. This avoids using biting products or harshly on the scouring sponge.

The furniture

  • A simple wipe of a cloth or feather duster advantageously replaces waxes and dust removers or the many disposable wipes often pre-impregnated with toxic products. Varnished furniture can be polished with a 50/50 mixture of olive oil and vinegar to emulsify.

Their original shine will be revived with a woolen cloth. For waxed furniture, buy real beeswax without chemical additives that you will find, among others, at bio-construction wholesalers or even specialized organic stores.

A greasy stain on furniture can be removed by rubbing with a mixture of olive oil and salt (or wood ash). A sweet stain is removed with damp coffee grounds. A stain of sauce leaves by rubbing with hot milk …

  • The leather sofa is maintained with a mixture of oil and vinegar, which nourishes it and makes it shine. Patent leather is treated with raw milk. Cracked leather can be “repaired” with lanolin (natural animal fat).

Floor to ceiling, through the windows

You can simply clean the tiled floors with clear water or with a little soft soap (black soap) or multi-purpose cleaner if they are very dirty. The marbles are rinsed with water and revived with a little linseed oil. The vitrified floors are maintained with a damp mop; natural wood floors love natural wax (bees or vegetable) and … elbow grease!

As for linoleum, they can be cleaned with a cloth soaked in linseed oil and cleaned with an all-purpose surfactant.

Windows can be cleaned with a cloth (or newspaper) soaked in white vinegar (unless the frames are aluminum). Clear water, a microfiber, and a squeegee are even sufficient if you then polish with sheets of newspaper.

A house that smells good …

… Above all, it is an airy house !!

In the toilets, a few drops of essential oils are placed on a pot pourri; for cooking, boil water with aromatic herbs. In linen closets, small natural soaps or fabric pouches containing dried herbs and flowers will prevent the stale smell. In the refrigerator, nothing like a small open jar containing baking soda.

If you add it up, all of these simple products are not very expensive. Above all, they do not pollute by wanting to clean. Believe us, they are quickly adopted and can make our life easier !!!
