Across the nation, many Britons are swapping out chemical-based cleaners in their home in favour of natural alternatives which are better for their home, family and the wider environment. And according to a cleaning expert, switching to a natural cleaning substance could also save you money along the way.
Cleaning expert Neil from Bust The Dust, has revealed an inexpensive and effective solution that costs just £1.50. He says it will “revolutionise the way you approach bathroom cleaning.”
Neil, who has been with Bust The Dust for over a decade, is no stranger to innovative cleaning solutions.
When it comes to keeping your bathroom clean, you don’t need to break the bank,” said Neil. “Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective.”
While you might think of white vinegar for cooking, the acidic substance is also fantastic when it comes to cleaning various surfaces around the home. At the time of writing, you can buy white vinegar for as little as 35p from Sainsbury’s and £1.09 from Asda.
Neil explained: “White vinegar is a natural disinfectant with acetic acid, which helps to dissolve grime, mineral deposits, and soap scum. It’s non-toxic and safe to use around children and pets, making it an ideal choice for households.”
When it comes to cleaning the bathroom, Neil says that white vinegar is good for cleaning build-ups on sinks, countertops, faucets, shower doors and tiles.
“Fill a spray bottle with equal parts white vinegar and water. For tougher stains or build-up, you can use undiluted white vinegar,” he said. “Allow it to sit for a few minutes to break down the dirt and grime.”
Use a scrub brush or a microfibre cloth to scrub the surfaces. As an added tip, Neil recommends sprinkling baking soda on top of the vinegar solution in any areas where you have particularly tough build-ups.
“The abrasive nature of baking soda combined with the cleaning power of vinegar works wonders,” he explained.
Once satisfied, rinse the surfaces with warm water and dry them with a clean, dry cloth. For a streak-free finish on glass surfaces, Neil recommends wiping them down with a dry microfibre cloth.
