Do you use any of these products for your household cleaning?
I never thought to use salt. I don’t buy cleaning chemicals either.
I use salt in my laundry you would never guess but it really helps life the yellow stains off my hubby’s white work shirts.
I do! Yes! I very often use baking soda and vinegar and lemon too! I haven’t tried salt though. Hmmm. Thanks for this. These are easy things to use.
Love this article. I am so glad that someone out there sees the benefits of safer products for cleaning. I do. Thank you for all the useful tips.
I have used all of those to clean with. I think the vinegar works great on stains… but then so does baking soda.
I knew some of this stuff about vinegar but news to me about the salt and the baking soda. I def don’t buy enough baking soda.. I’ve only used it for teeth, cooking and fridge absorbing.
I’ve used most of these products for cleaning, and they all work very well. I just don’t like the scent of vinegar!
I use vinegar to clean my washing machine. Works like a charm.
This is great! I’ve been trying to cut back on those product that are non-green because not only is it bad for the environment, but it is very dangerous for your health. I find using vinegar works really well on stains in the kitchen and the bathroom! Will have to use the salt idea!
I didn’t know about the lemons and hanging your whites outside. Thanks for this tip!

Back to the basics. Our parents and grandparents knew what to do. We really don’t need the chemicals!
I am a huge fan of using baking soda and vinegar. They work well and I do not use harsh chemicals around the kids. I actually let my girls help me out because it is so safe.
I’ve been reading a lot about the uses of vinegar. I use it for a few things but would love to start using it more. Thanks for the others
