My home cleaning products are super simple. These are the few natural ingredients and some of the DIYs I use. :)
Vinegar - white and apple cider
Baking Soda
Dr. Bronner's soap shop.drbronner.com/pure-casti... (I love the peppermint scent)
- dilution cheat sheet: www.lisabronner.com/dilutions-...
For cleaning cloths I use both rags from old clothes and biodegradable cellulose cloths and sponges.
My natural rubber yoga mat mentioned it's from Manduka (we have the eko and eko lite) click.linksynergy.com/deeplin... *
Do you have any natural and simple cleaning recipes?

I have a strange attraction to natural cleaning videos. Thanks for sharing! You're awesome!

@DoLifeHealthier 5 лет назад

Great video and love to see other channels that are promoting an eco friendly sustainable lifestyle. I love the Dr. Bronners product and use it all over my home. Thank you!

I love making lemon and citrus vinegar

@ima7333 6 лет назад

I usually use vinegar water 1:3 ratio for cleaning my kitchen & bathroom. I use baking soda + hot water to unclog my drains. I blend smoothies everyday and use lots of fresh or freeze my own citrus. So I put all the peels into a large jar up to 3/4 full then top it off w/ white or apple cider vinegar and let it infuse for minimum of 1 month. Then I toss all the peels into my compost bins and use the citrus scented vinegar + water for cleaning

Ima Purnomo I've been wanting to try this for a while. Does it help ease the vinegar smell? I use vinegar a lot but the strong smell stings my eyes after a while :'(

@ima7333 6 лет назад

It does. It made the vinegar smell like sour oranges which I totally love. I also use EM2 + rice starch water to do my dishes. I’ve weaned myself off of harsh detergents completely. Frankly one time I got a knock on my door from my garbage man. He asked why I barely have any trash. If I do have trash it’s mostly my son’s fast food wrappers. I simply recycle all my paper & plastic waste, compose all my kitchen waste and reuse any glass food packaging. I mostly cook at home so practically no trash. I’m glad to have found Erin’s channel. It makes me feel less of a freak and Scrooge. Thanks Erin

What's EM2

@consciouslypure2176 6 лет назад

I've been using this mixture for a while now and absolutely love it :)

@bsocke 6 лет назад

Awesome video, thanks a lot. My girlfriend just told me about your channel and we are wondering what cleaning agent alternatives there are for our dishwasher. Greets from river Rhine, germany.

@emeliasoderlund 6 лет назад

Awesome, thank you for sharing!

@sanneworkinprogrezz6299 6 лет назад

Thanks for this video. You've explained it a super easy way. :)

@zzztsukizzz 6 лет назад

The limonene from citrus fruits is a great cleaning agent! You know when you buy a cleaning product and it smells like orange, it is mostly because of the limonene. At home you can just throw oranges or citrus peels in your vinegar solution :) . It is not concentrate and distilled like in commercial products but it helps and it smells great ^^

@tristandevereaux4867 6 лет назад

I got a nice yoga mat spray recipe from Yoga with Adriene's channel that works great. It's just water, witch hazel, and your choice of essential oil. :) Also, I love Dr. Bronners! I use a bit of their soap in warm water to clean my floors and it works great! I even use it to clean my makeup brushes bc it's so gentle. My 2 favorites are peppermint and almond. If anyone needs an extra gentle fragrance free version their baby soap is amazing!!

@MidlifeByKirstin 6 лет назад

Great video! I ´ve pretty much switched to the same natural cleaning products. You might want to look into the ratio of your vinegar cleaner. "Essig-Essenz" is a concentrate (like Dr. Bronner´s) with 25% acid. Normal vinegar is around 5-8%. So quite a lot less (maybe a third or a fourth part "Essig-Essenz" to water should do... :-)

@MyGreenCloset 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tip! I just checked and it's 20% so I'll probably dilute it more when using the Essig-Essenz :)

@daniellemiller7046 6 лет назад

I also use vinegar-water mixtures for cleaning many surfaces. I even use it on mirrors and it always comes out with no residue, even with the tea tree oil that I add in. My microbiology professor said that counters are typically the most germ infested areas of the home, but not to routinely use bleach on them. To disinfect my sponges, I will boil them in a mug in the microwave. I'm not sure if anyone else uses a microwave to clean things.

@EmmaaDL 6 лет назад

Love it!

@nesekaba 6 лет назад

I looooove using Dr Bronner's citrus soap on my hardwood floors. The oils condition them and keep them shiny and it smells so good.

@cstar6682 6 лет назад

What ratio do you use for your hardwood floors?

@nesekaba 6 лет назад

Cheri Lyn Ahhhh it's hard to pinpoint, sorry. I get a bucket, do a couple squirts, and fill it up. So the soap is like incredibly diluted. A little bit goes a long way with the castille soap

@koshkamarvel7825 6 лет назад

I found that vinegar spray gives me headaches, so im curious if it safe while inhaling. i use mix of soda/citric acid powder/mustard powder for dish cleaning and countertops. it bubbles when you add water, probably easier to use vinegar spray and soda/mustard mix for surfaces.

@lavenderbearasmr3562 5 лет назад

I cannot stand when my mom cleans with white vinegar and water so I would go with apple cider, I love it. But my mom hates the smell lol. I have a big plush that doesn;t fit in the washer. I tend to wash it with lysol wipes but I'll probably look into DIY fursuit sprays as it would probably work on a big plush toy! Might have to get him professionally cleaned at some point.

@youtubeicin4137 6 лет назад

what is the difference between apple cider vinegar and white vinegar?

@samanthabix2127 6 лет назад

Love love love all of your videos! Thankyou for sharing your wisdom. I was wondering if you could help me out. I’ve been on the hunt for a suitcase, I’m currently long term traveling in Canada and have been unsuccessful in my search for an eco friendly option. Any tips you could give would be fantastic! All the best :)

@MyGreenCloset 6 лет назад

Thanks so much!! Unfortunately I have no brand suggestions, I haven't looked into luggage at all. If you can, the best option would be to find one secondhand and that's where I would start looking. If that doesn't work and you have to purchase new and can't find any good brands, try to at least find one that will last a very long time. :)

@DC-ef8op 5 лет назад

Where did you get blue spray bottle?

@liliensommer9477 6 лет назад

I always wonder if the essential oil causes any discoloration (like on the materials e.g. on the toilet so that the white plastic toilet lid gets yellow or so)? Greets from Munich😊 (I recently found your channel and love it so much👍)

@MyGreenCloset 6 лет назад

Possibly some do, but I've never had that experience. The essential oils I put in any cleaning products are very diluted though. Also thank you! And welcome!! 😊

@kirstenv4892 6 лет назад

I LOVE your lipstick. Do you mind sharing what it is?

@MyGreenCloset 6 лет назад

Thanks! It's the 100% Pure Cherry lip and cheek stain, I have a review of it here: mygreencloset.com/2017/100-pure-lip-product-reviews/ :)

@Zwetschgin 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing! I have a question ... what is baking soda called in German? I live in Switzerland and I know it is here, I just haven't found it yet!

@MyGreenCloset 6 лет назад

Natron :) It was difficult for me to find at first too, it's not used as much for baking here.

@raraavis7782 6 лет назад

Zwetschgin If you just use it for cleaning, look for Heitmann 'Reine Soda' in the detergent section. It's sold in much bigger packs than baking soda and much cheaper there...it's just not 'food grade'. It's the pure substance though, no additives. The same brand also sells 'Reine Zitronensäure'/Citric Acid. I prefer that to vinegar, because it's odourless.

@Zwetschgin 6 лет назад

Thank you 😎!

@silkestadler2647 6 лет назад

Hi there, I live in Germany as - I think - do you. May I ask where you’re getting your baking soda? I always just find it in tiny bags in the supermarket. Thanks! Silke

@DrDrabbit 6 лет назад

Silke Stadler auf amazon gibt es 5 kg Eimer für ungefähr 10 euro :)

@silkestadler2647 6 лет назад

Hasenohr Danke! Ich versuche, nicht alles über Bestelldienste zu kaufen, sondern bestenfalls lokal zu finden. Daher meine Frage.

@MyGreenCloset 6 лет назад

I currently buy it from our local unverpackt store in bulk, before that I found it in boxes at a local Asian food/import store. I've heard you can sometimes find larger packages with the cleaning products but I haven't looked into it.

@tanja9673 6 лет назад

In größeren Supermärkten gibt es neben den einzelnen Tütchen auch größere Pakete bei den Backzutaten. Ich hab mein Paket Kaisernatron von Kaufland. Das ist von der Marke Holste und enthält 250g.

@lluthya 6 лет назад

Wenn du es nur zum putzten nutzten möchtest, kannst du auch waschsoda nehmen. Das bekommt man in allen gängigen drogerien in großen packungen.

@christinabucur5216 6 лет назад

I have a stubborn husband that doubts more natural cleaning methods because they are not explicitly "anti-bacterial." He is particular concerned about cleaning meat juices off the counter and toilet germs. Any tips on how to get someone like him onboard?
