do you clean green?

Question

I'm looking to start using natural products to clean, baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, etc. Questions are on wood floors and granite, anyone know if it would be ok to use Vinegar as long as it was dilluted enough? anyone know what enough is?? thanks!

Answer 1

Vinegar is good for cleaning hardwood floors and granite. Another good cleanser for wood is tea. If the floor is light, use green tea. If the floor is dark, you can use black or red tea.
Fill a bucket with warm water and drop a few tea bags in.

Answer 2

Don't use an ordinary kitchen cleaning product to clean granite. The newest technology uses peroxide and detergents to penetrate soiled areas. Simply spray a product such as Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate on the soiled area, allow it to penetrate for a few minutes, then wipe clean. Baking soda can be sprinkled on for a more abrasive cleaning action. Repeat if necessary. Granite can also be cleaned using warm, sudsy water (a mild detergent such as a grease cutting dish detergent or laundry detergent is fine) or a solution of borax and water. Thoroughly rinse and buff dry. To remove stains from granite, make a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide or baking soda and Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate and cover the stain with the paste. Cover the paste with a damp cloth, leave overnight, then wet down and scrub with a nonmetallic scrubbing pad. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Wipe up any spills as they happen so they don't soak in, and always dry coutertops after washing the dishes.:)

Answer 3

do a search on" how clean is your house-"-they have tons of 'green solutions' for cleaning. I saw them on their tv show cleaning a hardwood floor. It came up really nice--just can't remember what they used.
