5 Natural cleaning product alternatives that actually work

Ditch harsh chemicals in favour of these natural and surprisingly effective cleaning solutions.

1. TOOTHPASTE

Toothpaste is not only useful for shining your pearly whites but can be trusted to kick the tarnish from silver. Non-gel toothpaste is also useful for shining away water stains on wooden tables when dabbed on the spot, left to dry, and cleaned with a damp cloth before finishing with furniture polish.

2. WHITE VINEGAR

Mould is serious problem that can cause a multitude of conditions, such as insomnia, recurring colds and flu and sinusitis. Getting rid of mould in your home depends on finding and treating the sources of moisture. To clean non-porous surfaces, use a solution of 80 per cent white vinegar to 20 per cent water. For porous surfaces, such as untreated timber, use a 70 per cent alcohol solution.

3. OLIVE OIL AND SALT

Season your coffee table with a cheap and straightforward kitchen concoction of olive oil and regular table salt to draw glass rings out of the grain and replenish the wood. The magic act from this paste may take up to a couple of weeks to visibly banish watermarks and restore the wood to its lustrous origins.

4. BABY OIL

Soak your old rags in baby oil for a quick grease-buster without the harsh scent of regular kitchen cleaners. Baby oil will not only cut grime from greasy appliances but will buff metal appliances for a week-long shine.

5. DRYER SHEETS

If your metal taps and appliances are in need of a revival, give them a quick and inexpensive shine with your used dryer sheets. Experience the anti-static properties of dryer sheets and combat dust build-up with these multifaceted wonders by running dryer sheets over the surfaces of your home.
