How To Make A Natural And Safe Disinfectant Spray
Don’t want to spray Lysol or other dangerous chemicals all over the house? Don’t want to use bleach to clean up after your kid? You can make a very basic but very effective natural disinfectant spray from just a few common household products. First, you need a spray bottle that you can get from almost anywhere if you don’t happen to have an extra one in the house. Then, you will need the following:
1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide
1 cup of white vinegar
2 cups of water
Just combine the ingredients in the spray bottle and voila - natural, safe disinfectant you can use almost anywhere. I would not advise you to use it on fabric, as the hydrogen peroxide can have a lightening effect. But most solid surfaces should be fine, and you can rest easy that you are not cleaning with any toxic chemicals!

How To Make An All-Purpose, Natural Cleaner.
While there are plenty of products out there that you can buy at the store that claim to be natural, the only guarantee you have is their word. So how about instead you make your own natural, all-purpose household cleaner that you can trust? All it takes is a few common household ingredients and a spray bottle, so not only is it 100% natural but it is frugal as well!
Gather up the ingredients - vinegar, baking soda, water and your spray bottle. That’s all you need! Combine 1/2 cup vinegar with 1/4 cup of baking soda in 1/2 gallon of water in your spray bottle, and you have your all-purpose, all-natural, nearly free household cleaner!

How To Clean Your Garbage Disposal Without Chemicals.
Very simple - buy a lemon next time you are at the store! Cut the lemon into a couple of wedges, and get ready for some sweet citrus smell in your kitchen. Turn on the water, turn on the disposal, and slowly start adding a single lemon wedge at a time to the disposal, giving each one time to be chewed up and flushed out.
After a few wedges of the lemon, you will notice that your disposal no longer smells! The lemon helps to both clear out old food that might be stuck inside, and also to fight some of the bacteria that could be causing the smell. Enjoy your lemon-scented disposal!
