Tried and Trusted Natural Cleaning Solutions
Whilst our favourite products are Eco and Method, sometimes natural products will do the job just as well. Here are some tried and tested recipes:
Pet Stains/Wine/Dirt/Grass
2 Tablespoons White Wine Vinegar
4 cups warm water
Blood
1/4 teaspoon mild liquid detergent with one cup warm water.
Felt-tip Marker
1/4 teaspoon mild liquid detergent with one cup warm water.
Shoe Polish
1/4 teaspoon mild liquid detergent with one cup warm water.
Natural Room Freshener
Pick some sprigs of fresh Pine and add to a clean spray bottle filled with mineral water and one or two drops of Pine essential oil. Put to one side for a week or so to allow the water to take on the Pine scent. You can also do this with citrus peels of orange, lemons and grapefruit and of course lavender; either on their own or mixed they make wonderful, natural scents. For a natural Christmas scent, use a combination of cinnamon oil, pine and orange. Essential oils are now available at our shop Dapper & Green in Melton Constable. Don't forget essential oils are extremely potent and should be kept out of the reach of children and pets.
