Hi I was wondering if anyone could suggest what kind of things I could use instead of the normal cleaning sprays in the kitchen and polish in the rest of my home,plus things to replace hairspray and perfumes,plus what kind of vitamins I should take,
Hope you are all OK out there keep warm and safe x
Hi I don't use any household cleaners at all now washing up liquid for everything that's it... saves a fortune ...never used hairspray lol and my perfume dosent bother me at all xx
Hi same as Angie, I avoid chemicals..
I buy an ecological range with a slight pine tree scent.
And for vitamins I buy a multivitamin from Solgar as well as Omega 3
Lemon juice makes a good cleaner and white viniger use boath diluted 😷
My wife swapped to vinegar ... nearly killed me! I prefer anything (or nothing to vinegar) ... guess each of us is different.
My hubby did the same with vinegar change I nearly killed him 😇😇😇
Lemon juice, little white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda works a treat on kitchen and bathrooms and floors. You can buy them in bulk online if you do a search, the lemon juice is known as citric acid. It is mixed with hot water. Rather than polish I use a slightly damp cloth anyway for cleaning bedrooms and loung etc. If you'd rather use a polish I believe you can buy natural non scented oil ones.
Perfume you could try a roll on one, they are in M&S and Next I think but again search on line
Thank you to all who answered me really appreciate having this site and having so many people that understand and can give such good advice,stay safe breath easy friends x
I would second Bicarbonate of Soda, it works in so many ways. From bathroom cleaning, ovens, worktops, even hair washing. I bought one of those books called something like 1000 uses for Bicarbonate of Soda.
I also buy it at a Chinese supermarket in bulk which works out way much cheaper than the little tubs in shops. Also buy bulk vinegar there as well, using it for cleaning, weed killer etc.
For cleaning I use 3/4 water and 1/4 vinegar with about two drops of dish soap in a spray bottle. It cleans everything! For glass Again, I use 50/50 vinegar and water. I would use a little dab of essential oil in place of perfume. As for Hairspray no idea maybe somebody else has a good idea about Hairspray. I just use gel and then I blow dry my hair but it's fairly short so it doesn't fly around much. Lol
Use gels instead of hair spray their lighter scented and don't hang in the air
Hello Ladydevon. I use Beewax polish not spray. Also soda bicarb. Salt on the greasy parts and have even tried White vinegar for the bathroom and even "coca cola". the later works on the toilet. Found the light hair spray from Sainsbury's works for me. have no problems with parfume. Hope you find somethings which will be just right for you. Cheers.
I use ecover washing liquid, cleaning spray etc, beeswax ... but I do use the spray,.... multivitamins and Vegetarian oil.
I use ecover and method and natural toiletries by Forever no chemicals or strong perfumes in any.
I use Salt of the earth deodorant you just wet it and apply underarms
I have a cloth mask that I put on when cleaning. Seems to help
Hi.......small amount of washing powder on a damp sponge works wonders in the kitchen sink, and with bicarbonate of soda sprinkled in / around the loo's
White vinegar to keep he drain pipes fresh. Eco cloths to clean Windows they only need plain water......one wet & one dry.....washing up liquid for all kitchen surfaces.
Can't give up the hair spray or perfume so use a very thick towel across my face ,eyes only left uncovered. Best of luck 😊
Jo.
I use one thing only. White vinegar cut 50% with water, All from dog pee to stove tops.
Instead of aorosol (can't spell it) hairspray Alberto do a spray gel (sqeezy bottle) which is very good and lasts for weeks.
Also for cleaning...............Borax and sugar soap
thieves robbers in hospitals
Liquid Oxygen; Wonder if you can help.
