Eliminate bad odors without chemicals

Used tea bags can be hung out to dry, then reused to remove bad odors.

You can put some in a cardboard box, in which you will have made holes, before placing it in a cabinet, or in one of the corners of your refrigerator.

This odor absorbing ability of tea bags can also be used to clean carpets, but also blankets and beds of our pets.

To do this, all you need to do is spray the remains of the sachets directly on these surfaces, then leave them to act for a few minutes, before vacuuming.

In this way, you will remove powder and odors at the same time.

For rugs, you can substitute the tea bag powder for baking soda.

Wash clothes without chemicals

To wash your clothes, you can count on two natural products that will bring you incredible benefits:

• Vinegar: if you add it to the fabric softener, you will have clothes that are softer, more pleasant to the touch, and without any smell of vinegar.
  This product will also allow you to take care of your machine, while eliminating lime deposits.
• The baking soda : it facilitates the removal of difficult stains and whiten clothes.
  Always add a little in your machines, by placing it in the softener container, with the vinegar.

If you want to give your clothes a special aroma, you can add a few drops of essential oil.

We recommend the aromas of flowers, such as rose or orange blossom.

Purify your home without chemicals

In addition to cleaning the surfaces of your home, as well as your furniture, it is important to purify the environment of your interior.

For this, you must ventilate all the rooms well by opening your windows.

We offer you some natural tips to get good results:

• Place cleansing plants in your home, such as pothos, which eliminates many toxic substances, without requiring too much maintenance.
• Burn incense and natural resins several times a week.
• Burn rosemary and ventilate well again.
• Use an essential oil diffuser. You can choose between essential oils of rosemary, lemon, eucalyptus or pine.
