White vinegar is one of the most widely used natural cleansers. Thanks to its acidity, it is perfect for dissolving hard water stains. In addition, white vinegar only costs €0.45 a bottle.
Epsom salt , also called magnesium sulfate, is a mild abrasive. Thus, it is ideal to make your task easier when you scrub the toilet bowl and walls.
Dishwashing liquid helps loosen dirt and remove traces of limescale. I use this dishwashing liquid, but any commercial dishwashing liquid will do.
- This formula also works wonders for removing dirt and hard water stains all over the house:bathtub, sink, kitchen sink .
- You can also use my miracle spray cleanser . Simply pour it into a spray bottle. Spray directly on the affected areas and you're done! For really stubborn smudges or hard-to-reach places, I suggest using an old toothbrush to scrub.
- To make it even more efficient , you can also sprinkle some Epsom salt directly on the area and spray your cleanser over it. Scrub with an old toothbrush or sponge for shinier, sparkling clean surfaces.
- And finally, to perfume and add an antibacterial action to your cleanser, add a few drops of essential oils. To clean my house naturally with essential oils, I use this practical guide.
