Tips for Green Bathroom Cleaning

1. Toilets

  • Drop two denture tablets in the bowl, let dissolve for a few minutes;
  • Scrub to remove stains and build-up and distribute cleaner to all interior suraces:
  • Leave until the tablets have done their work (color is gone)
  • No need to flush.

2. Drain Cleaner

  • Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda in the drain
  • Follow with 1/2 cup of vinegar or lemon juice

CAUTION - This will make alot of noise but don't worry

  • Let rest for 15 minutes
  • Rinse with hot tap water
  • Repeat

3. Tub and Tile spray

Notes: Make enough for one time use. Mix a fresh batch each time you clean. If the tub or surround are fiberglass, use baking soda or borax rather than washing soda.

In a spray bottle (reserved for cleaning purposes) mix:

  • 1/2 teaspoon washing soda
  • 1 teaspoon borax
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon vegatable oil based liquid soap
  • 3 table spoons of vinegar
  • 2 cups of very hot tap water
  • Spray the cleaner onto the tub or tile. Rinse or wip off with a damp sponge.
  • Works for ceramic tile too.

4. All purpose cleaner

  • Put 1/8 cup (2 table spoons) vegatable oil based liquid soap and 1/2 cup vinegar in the bottom of a bucket;
  • Add 2 gallons of warm water, mixing to activate the soap
  • Wash floor
