Chemical free cleaning

**shazzap** · 14-Feb-14, 21:15

I am trying to get away from using shop bought cleaners. I have bought some white vinegar and bicarb so i can make my own cleaning products. I have also bought essential oils and am going to add these to the vinegar solution to give a nice smell. Have also looked into making air freshener with the essential oils and noted vodka is also required. Do any orgers make their own air freshener, what combinations of essential oil fragrances are good together. What do you like.

I got the white vinegar from a web site i found on line. I was using apple cider vinegar but found the white vinegar after searching. Do you want a link.

No, I was hoping you would say at a shop. Trying to get my head round buying stuff to put 2 fingers up at the 21st centuary (and the 20th) on a web site.

I see. It is hard to find in the UK. You can only buy white malt vinegar in the supermarkets. This is the proper stuff. I have also stopped using Teflon.

Get yourself a Karcher steamer, they have them in Tesco, that will save a lot of cleaning products.

My gran used to make her own white vinegar. she used a demijohn to ferment the malt mix for a couple weeks then boiled it for a while with a lid on the pot that had a tube running into a larger pot next to it. I was sure it was a still and told her she was making hooch but she was adamant it was vinegar for cooking
