Tired of detergents and toxic and unsustainable house cleaning products? Try these do-it-yourself alternative products for your household cleaning

Let’s face it, finding products for the home that respect the environment, non-toxic and bio but above all effective, is a really difficult task. We at Team Deanna will provide you with ideas to create your do-it-yourself household cleaning products.

 

I have personally tested several eco-friendly detergents, both those available in supermarkets and those in bulk and I must admit that a good 90% has disappointed my expectations.

The clothes were not cleaned thoroughly, they remained stained and the white ones in the washing machine turned gray. In short, a real disaster, so much so that those who are not familiar with the organic sector but have good intentions to start the green lifestyle, get discouraged and abandon good intentions.

Obviously the effectiveness of a product can vary from home to home, from family to family, as the appliances are different.

For example, a washing machine differs in quality and type (it can be loaded from the porthole or from above), the composition of the water is different (hard or soft), the temperature of the washing cycle varies (hot or cold), the type of stains varies (greasy or other), the nature of the various fabrics (natural or synthetic fibers), the color (dark or light).

 

 

In this article I want to offer you alternatives to create at home, in a completely natural and effective way, the products that have made you suffer so much.
