With everyone spending more time indoors (we spend approximately 90 percent of our time indoors), it is important to keep these spaces clean and safe.  The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"EPA  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/report-environment\/indoor-air-quality\" target=\"_blank\">EPA <\/a>has named the indoor air quality as one of the top threats to our health and estimates that concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher indoors than typical outdoors.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the health problems associated with indoor air pollutants include irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, headaches, dizziness and respiratory diseases.  Harsh chemical exposure over long periods of time is said to even cause heart disease and cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the factors that affect indoor air quality are energy-efficient building construction (when it lacks sufficient mechanical ventilation to ensure adequate air exchange) and increased use of synthetic building materials, furnishings, personal care products, pesticides, and household cleaners.  We can take control of some of these issues and improve indoor air quality by removing pesticides, reducing synthetic materials and using the right household cleaners.  Here are some eco-friendly products and tips for cleaning our home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_the_3_Natural_Cleaning_Products_Lemon_Baking_Soda_Vinegar\"><\/span><strong>Use the 3 Natural Cleaning Products: Lemon, Baking Soda &amp; Vinegar<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lemons <\/strong>have powerful antiseptic and antibacterial properties and are a natural deodorizer due to their high acidic content. You can use a bit of lemon juice with baking soda to remove stains from plastic containers.  After I make my <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"morning ginger lemon tea (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/blog\/lemon-ginger-turmeric-tea\/\" target=\"_blank\">morning lemon ginger tea<\/a>, I save the peels for cleaning.

Rub the lemon peel across your chopping board to disinfect the surface.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a halved <strong>grapefruit <\/strong>and a coarse salt to remove soap scum.\u00a0The citric acid and the rough salt will react with the soap build-up and get it up easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"22867\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/natural-cleaning-products\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/natural-cleaning-products.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;outsidesuburbia.com&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-6000&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1595811541&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9OutsideSuburbia All Rights Reserved.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;16&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"natural cleaning products\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/natural-cleaning-products.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/natural-cleaning-products.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/natural-cleaning-products.jpg\" alt=\"3 Natural Cleaning Products: Lemon, Baking Soda &amp; Vinegar | Outside Suburbia\" class=\"wp-image-22867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/natural-cleaning-products.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/natural-cleaning-products-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/natural-cleaning-products-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baking soda<\/strong>, just like lemon, is another great natural cleaner. It is mildly alkaline and functions as a gentle abrasive. A thick paste made of baking soda and water can be useful in removing rust. You can use it to clean the oven.  Let it sit for a couple of hours or overnight for tougher spots and then you can wipe the surface clean. A liquidy mixture of baking soda and water can be used as an all-purpose cleaner that is effective in removing grease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put a cup of <strong>white vinegar <\/strong>and baking soda into the toilet bowl and let it sit for about an hour. Brush it and flush! A simple, easy and eco-friendly way to clean bathrooms. No harsh chemicals bleaches are needed.  It is a natural deodorizer that can be used to freshen up the dishwasher, laundry machine and even coffee pots.  You can add a 50\/50 mixture of white vinegar and water into your kettle or coffee pot, allow it to boil, then rinse the kettle out once it cools down a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tips are some ways to use eco-friendly, natural cleaning products to clean our homes but they do require some elbow grease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buy_Eco-Friendly_Cleaning_Products\"><\/span><strong>Buy Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When everyone was stocking up on toilet paper, we stocked up on cleaning supplies.  We bought anything we could get our hands on and into our e-shopping carts.  Bleaches, disinfectant wipes and all the works!  But after using them, and seeing how harmful they can be we now look for products that do not have ammonia, chlorine, parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, phosphates or petroleum or artificial colorants or perfumes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"outsidesubu08-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"fd58fa0371d0b9d11aff66957dfacd43\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"in_content\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B01N2ORISU,B0091DS0UY,B001FA1NTG,B01N7U54KK,B00JEQG4X8\";\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a learning process but we are buying a few commercial green cleaning products. While lemon and baking soda gets most jobs done, you have to know to mix or measure, and it does involve a good amount of effort ( aka elbow grease).  It does take some scrubbing to get surfaces clean.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find good quality, green and eco-friendly cleaning products.

While you can never clean to professional housekeeping standards, start small.  Declutter, clean one room a day.  Clean the high traffic areas like the kitchen and living room often.  Keeping a home clean and orderly is something that can be attained by those with busy lives.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having some sort of regular cleaning and straightening routine helps give an order to our lives, and it ensures that things don&#8217;t get out of hand that you must spend the entire weekend cleaning just to bring them back to some sort of normal.  Whatever that normal is these days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Small_Tweaks_to_Squeaky_Clean\"><\/span><strong>Small Tweaks to Squeaky Clean<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the aim is to have spotless counters and squeaky clean bathrooms  \u2013  let&#8217;s be real, it&#8217;s never going to happen.  By the time you clean one room, the other gets dirty, the kitchen floor needs mopping and someone needs to tackle the mountain of mail!  Some small tweaks that I find helpful are keeping a counter cloth for the kitchen sink and bathroom sinks.  So you can wipe the water right after use.

Did you know using foaming soap is considered to be easy on the environment? You can mix 1 part soap and 5 parts water and even add some fragrance to your foaming soap, a few drops of your favorite essential oils are all you need.  It is an affordable, efficient, hygienic, and an all-around sustainable option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buy_Organic_Sheets_and_Wash_them_often\"><\/span><strong>Buy Organic Sheets and Wash them often<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On average a person sleeps for 8 hours in a day, which averages to about 229,961 hours or basically one-third of their life. Make sure your beds are fitted with good clean sheets!  Sleeping on <strong>organic cotton sheets<\/strong> is better for you since they are hypoallergenic due to the lack of chemical additives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organic cotton sheets are durable, bio-degradable, and produced with sustainable methods, which means it is better for the planet.  It is always good to wash your sheets before your first use because they may feel a bit rough right out of the package.

Even the popular laundry detergent Tide comes in a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Plant-based version (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/300jWcb\" target=\"_blank\">Plant-based version<\/a>.  Wash the sheets at least once every two weeks.  Use these wool dryer balls made from premium New Zealand Wool instead of the dryer sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Freshen_up_with_Flowers\"><\/span><strong>Freshen up with Flowers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is amazing how a simple bunch of flowers can freshen up your mood, your home, and your well-being.  A vase, some pretty blooms and a bit of water is all it takes.  Bonus, the house looks lovely and put together!  You can get whatever is in season and get creative with the flower arrangements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a reason why we send flowers as gifts.  Studies show that those who are exposed to flowers have lower blood pressure and heart rate, lower ratings of pain, anxiety, and fatigue, and more positive feelings and higher satisfaction.  They do more than just look pretty and smell good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"22726\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/house_cleaning_os-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/house_cleaning_os-5.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;outsidesuburbia.com&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-6000&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1594262063&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9OutsideSuburbia All Rights Reserved.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;16&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"house_cleaning_os-5\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/house_cleaning_os-5.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/house_cleaning_os-5.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/house_cleaning_os-5.jpg\" alt=\"Eco-Friendly Cleaning Tips | Outside Suburbia\" class=\"wp-image-22726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/house_cleaning_os-5.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/house_cleaning_os-5-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/house_cleaning_os-5-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you find these simple Eco-Friendly tips for cleaning your home helpful.
