Ryan Knoll suggests, 'White vinegar can often be used as an eco-friendly alternative instead of apple cider vinegar, as it has similar properties but is cheaper with less of a smell.'
Itamar Dor recommends, 'Cleaning with baking soda: This common household ingredient is a powerhouse when it comes to tackling tough stains, deodorizing carpets, and scrubbing surfaces. Mixing baking soda with water or vinegar creates a potent and natural cleaning paste.'
John Larson also advises 'Borax is a natural mineral that is effective at removing dirt, grease, and stains.' Milliard Borax Powder, at Walmart can be used as a multipurpose cleaning agent.
'Dish soap is a good all-purpose cleaner that can be used to clean a variety of surfaces.
'Bleach is a powerful cleaner that should only be used on non-porous surfaces.' We recommend this Clorox Clean-Up All Purpose Cleaner with Bleach, from Walmart, in a spray bottle to make cleaning that bit easier!
'Lemon juice contains citric acid, making it a natural cleaner and deodorizer. It can be used on various surfaces and leaves behind a pleasant scent.
'Baking soda is an excellent option for tackling tough stains, removing odors, and acting as a gentle abrasive for scrubbing.
'When choosing a cleaner, it is important to consider the type of surface you are cleaning and the severity of the dirt or grime. If you are unsure about which cleaner to use, it is always best to consult a cleaning expert.'
Matthew Baratta, VP of Operations at Daimer Industries recommends, 'For cleaning dirtier surfaces such as the oven, the vinegar-based solution is also safe; however, you may find the grime harder to penetrate vinegar alone. I suggest using a stronger active ingredient, such as baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. Either apply baking soda to the entire area and then spray water and let it sit, or create a paste with baking soda, water, and two teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide and use a sponge to scrub it on the oven.' We suggest this heritage store Hydrogen Peroxide, at Walmart.
