How to avoid annoying smell in your home? First of all one has to keep it clean with the help of different cleaning means - from special detergents to Vacuum cleaners such as powerful upright vacuums cleaners from Hoover or Bissell and more. Do you know that in the Middle Ages, physicians believed diseases were caused by smells and gases? One treatment for the plague was roses. Remember the old rhyme, “Roses, Roses, We all fall down.” No smell doesn’t cause diseases of course. But unpleasant smell in a home still makes us nervous. There a many ways to make your home green and clean using natural products that can help to solve this very specific household problem. Here are just a few of them:
1. Baking soda: Acts as a scrub to remove hard water stains; polishes metal; deodorizes pretty much anything it touches (try stashing some in the fridge).
2. Borax: Mixed with three parts water, it makes a paste for cleaning carpet stains; mixed with ¼ part lemon juice, it cleans stainless steel and porcelain. (Note: although borax is a natural substance, you still shouldn’t eat it—and neither should your kids or pets.)
3. Lemon: Deodorizes and cuts grease on counter tops; rubbed on cutting boards, it bleaches stains and disinfects; combined with baking soda, it removes stains from plastic food storage containers.
4. Salt: Another natural scrubber—sprinkle it on cookware or oven surfaces, then rub; add citrus juice to turn it into an effective rust remover.
5. White vinegar: Deodorizes and disinfects; combine with water (and a little liquid soap—I know, it feels like cheating) to clean windows, mirrors, and floors; use at full strength in a spray bottle to fight mold and mildew.
6. Olive Oil: Mix two parts oil with one part lemon juice and use as a natural wood polish. (Save the really good stuff for dinner.
