Learn 7 cleaning tips without using traditional cleaning products:
1. Refrigerators and freezers

Baking soda: Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a liter of water and use the mixture to clean the inside of your refrigerator. To dry, use a soft cloth.
TIP: If the problem is the smell in the refrigerator, spread pieces of black bread, small cups of baking soda, lemon slices or even charcoal inside. All are great at capturing moisture and bad smells.
2. Sofas (microfiber)

Isopropyl alcohol + baking soda: Use a sponge to rub the alcohol, in small amounts, onto the stain on the sofa. Then, with a brush, comb the fabric. Use a little bicarbonate dissolved in water to remove the alcohol smell.
OBS: Where to find isopropyl alcohol? Typically in electronics stores.
3. Private

Vinegar: Instead of disinfectant and other ready-made cleaning products, use pure vinegar. Cleans, whitens and disinfects perfectly.
4. Dishes

Mustard powder + baking soda: mix 1/3 (one third) of baking soda with 1/3 of mustard powder. The mixture, despite being used dry, becomes the best detergent you’ve ever seen.
5. Kettles and other aluminum

Vinegar: To permanently remove the stain from the kettle or other aluminum pans, just use vinegar and water. In the bowl that needs to be cleaned, put half water and half vinegar to boil and leave it on the heat until the stains disappear. Then just wash normally.
6. Mattresses

Hydrogen peroxide + sodium bicarbonate + liquid soap: Mix, some time before starting to clean, 235 ml of hydrogen peroxide (3%), 3 tablespoons of bicarbonate and, when it dissolves, a drop of liquid soap.
Spray the mixture onto the mattress stain and let it act for 10 minutes, on average. Once dry, remove excess mixture with a vacuum cleaner.
7. Grout and tiles

Hydrogen peroxide + baking soda + liquid soap: Do as we taught above. Then, apply the mixture to dirty grout and tiles, rubbing with a sponge. Then rinse.
If the dirt is heavier, apply and mix and let it act for a few minutes. The crust is easier to remove. If necessary, repeat the process.
TIP: To keep the bathroom clean for longer, mix water and vinegar (half and half of each) and spray on the tiles twice a week.
