Time for spring cleaning! What can I use?
Posted under vinegar for house cleaningI'd like to start spring cleaning my house, including bathroom walls, all baseboards, and inside doors and windows. Can I use vinegar and water for these things? If so, what's the ratio I use? If not, what else can I use? I'm embarassed to say that I've always bought cleaning supplies - I'd like to be a little 'greener' now. Thanks!
Quarter cup of white vinegar to three quarter cups water. You can also add some lemon juice to that to cut the vinegary odor or rinse with 1/2-1/2 lemon juice/water afterwards. I like a cleaning product called "Simple Green"…it cleans well, but smells like a pine forest and it's supposed to have less than half the chemicals as a regular commercial cleaner. Never clean wood without using Murphys Oil Soap!

half and half mixture should be ok.
Can you come to my house???

I'm not sure about using vinegar on your wood work - I just use a little laundry soap/and or dish soap and water. But I usually keep Murphy's oil soap around for wood.
Vinegar works good for windows and metal doors.

My mom was a "domestic engineer" for 30+ years and I've been cleaning my own home for 28.
For walls doors and baseboard, just a mild soap and water. I like a drop of dish soap in warm water, as it destroys any greasy hand prints you have.
anything tiled, glass or metal 1:4 vinegar to water.
You can also buy green products as well which are enzyme based and make quick work of a yucky tub or toilet.
