Many regular cleaning products stocked in your nearest supermarket contain chemicals that may be bad for your health.

However, if you take a look in your cupboards in your kitchen you may well find three natural cleaning agents that are great for eco friendly cleaning London homes.

Salt is a good natural cleaner.  Being abrasive makes it ideal for cleaning stained cups. If you run out of washing up liquid you can use it to wash your dishes.  You can mix salt and vinegar to produce a general house cleaner, which is perfect for tiles that will come up sparkling.  Salt is also good for carpet cleaning. We all know the trick of sprinkling salt on a fresh wine stain to save your carpet from an ugly stain. When mixed with lemon juice salt is also great for cleaning metal.

Vinegar is very good for cleaning windows when combined with washing up liquid and warm water. Use a microfibre cloth to wipe off afterwards.  The result will be a sparkle with no streaks.

Lemon juice is very effective for cleaning limescale in bathrooms or kitchens. Add lemon juice to white vinegar and you can descale sinks, tiles, and taps. You can place a lemon in your dishwasher to leave your plates smelling fresh and clean.

It is not always necessary to use chemicals for house cleaning. Domestic cleaning London homes could not be easier using these three simple, natural ingredients often found in kitchen cupboards.  They will save you a few pounds on your shopping bill, and you will be doing your bit for the environment too.
