5 Green Cleaning Hacks

5 Green Cleaning Hacks

Looking for easy, eco-friendly ways to keep your home sparkling clean? These simple hacks use everyday ingredients to tackle messes, cut down on waste, and reduce your environmental impact—without sacrificing effectiveness. From cold water washing to the surprising power of ketchup, here’s how to clean smarter and greener!

Embrace the cold 

Washing your laundry in cold water saves energy. About 90% of the energy used for washing goes to heating water. Psst: Dropps laundry detergent works well in cold temps. 

Reduce and reuse

Reduce your use of disposable materials by swapping out single-use paper towels for Swedish dish cloths and ditching dryer sheets for reusable wool dryer balls. 

Benefit from baking soda

This multipurpose ingredient can absorb bad odors from your fridge and your carpets. Mixed with dish soap, it also makes a great soft scrub for sinks and tubs. 

Tap into vinegar power

Vinegar is your secret weapon for natural disinfecting. It’s great for cleaning windows, removing hard water stains from faucets, washing fruits and vegetables, and more. 

Make it lemon fresh

Lemon juice has antibacterial properties and is a natural bleach alternative. Use it to clean cutting boards or surfaces. It also leaves behind a fresh, zesty scent!

Polish it up with ketchup

This popular condiment can also make grimy brass, copper, and silver shine. Rub it on with a clean cloth, let it sit for 10 minutes, rinse it off, and buff to a polished shine.
