Remove bird droppings naturally

| Homemade Cleaning Recipes & Tips


Dried bird droppings can be troublesome to remove at times, so the next time a feathered friend decides to leave a calling card on your windows, simply dip a microfibre cloth into a bowl of hot white vinegar, hold against the stain to loosen it and rub until it comes away from the glass. Buff to a sparkle with the dry side of the cloth. There you have it, the remarkable versatility of vinegar. There are unlimited ways to utilise its powers around the house; it really is a must-have in any home.

Use it often and don’t be afraid to experiment. I promise any unpleasant odours will soon fade once the vinegar has dried.

Naturally caring for wood

| Homemade Cleaning Recipes & Tips


Oak is a hard and sturdy wood, and perhaps the most common wood used for flooring and furnishings. Something natural and simple, like old-fashioned coconut oil, soaks in and nourishes the oak while also giving it a beautiful shine.

To polish wood using a home made liquid furniture cleaner, place the cleaner on a cloth instead of directly onto the oak furnishing’s surface. If applied onto the surface, your solution can damage the oak, especially if it’s concentrated on one spot. I usually mix 1 cup water and 1 cup vinegar in a glass spray bottle/jar and add in 1 tablespoon olive/coconut oil and mix it well. Make sure to occasionally shake your solution because as we all know: oil and water/vinegar separate!

When polishing with the liquid on the cloth, you should dispense your cleaner evenly across the surface to assure that the wood looks equally beautiful from one end to the other. Remember that when adding a polish to a furnishing, you’re also applying an ingredient that can attract dust. So dusting regularly is just as important in maintaining the wood’s surface.

10 drops tea tree oil
4 teaspoons baking soda

Pour white vinegar into a bowl, add baking soda, rosemary and tea tree oil. Stir and filter into a glass spray bottle.

An effective recipe that packs a powerful punch: the antifungal properties of the rosemary and the antiseptic and antibacterial properties of the tea tree oil make this an extremely effective solution to kill germs and bacteria on any surface. It makes easy work of removing stains, grease and grime build-up from stove tops and bathrooms too.

Note: This recipe will effervesce when the baking soda makes contact with the vinegar.

Disinfecting & Deodorising mattress Spray

| Homemade Cleaning Recipes & Tips

Sweat and perspiration wreak havoc on our mattresses, especially in the warmer summer months. To maintain them and keep them free from germs and bacteria, lightly mist the surface of the mattress with the spray, being careful not to over-wet it. Open all the bedroom windows and allow to dry completely before making the bed. Place the mattress outside to dry in the sunshine if it is light enough.

1/2 cup vodka
10 drops tea tree oil

Method
Mix the ingredients together in a glass spray bottle.
