Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide are Your New Cleaning Friends

Hello Everyone,

I want to share with you the great ideas that I got from the television show I saw today called, “Deals.” Buying household cleaners from the store can get expensive as well as build clutter of specialized sprayers. The better alternative is to make it yourself! Here are a few ways to clean your house naturally and economically. I cannot wait to try them myself as I came home from spending the holidays with my parents and discovered a giant tea stain on the carpet. You will realize that vinegar and hydrogen peroxide are going to be your best friends this new year as they are not toxic to use, and will save you money!

Carpet Stains: For a darker stain or for a stain that has been sitting there for while, do not lose hope and view it as a house battle scar, but you can use hydrogen peroxide. For a lighter stain or something like white wine, use vinegar.

Red Wine Stains: Had too much fun for New Years and dropped wine on the floor? You can use 1/4 cup of  hydrogen peroxide and water to dampen. Let it soak for 2 minutes, and then, blot the stain, and after a few minutes, it should come right off!

Coffee Pot Cleaner: Your coffee pot also needs to look more energized and awake after working hard providing you with coffee! Simply mix 1/4 cut vinegar and 3 cups of hot water. Combine the ingredients in the coffee pot and Let it sit for 15 minutes. Use a small brush to scrub away the stains. It should come off very easily!

Window Cleaner: My favorite! Mix 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar and spray your heart out!

Antibacterial Kitchen Soap (to clean things like cutting boards): 1 tablespoon dish soap, 1 teaspoon vinegar. Scrub on warm running water and it should sanitize your cutting board.
