Looking for a non-toxic, inexpensive solution for cleaning your bathroom? We've got easy recipes that you may be able to make with things you already have around the house!

Steps

Make a basin, tub and tile cleaner. Pour 1 and a half cups (192g) of baking soda into a spray bottle. Add a half cup (118.3mL) of liquid soap, a half cup (118.3mL) of water and 2 tbsp (29.6mL) of white vinegar. Close the top of the bottle and shake vigorously to mix the ingredients. Spray the area to be cleaned and scrub with a towel or sponge.

Remove mildew. Pour a half cup (113.4g) of Borax and a half cup (118.3mL) of white vinegar into a shallow bowl. Stir the mixture until it makes a thick paste. Apply the recipe onto mold or mildew with a cleaning brush and scrub. Allow the paste to sit on the mildew for 1 hour before rinsing it off.

Create drain cleaner. Put a half cup (64g) of baking soda into the drain. Follow that by pouring 1 cup (236.6mL) of white vinegar down the drain. Wait for a reaction between the 2 components. The vinegar will cause the baking soda to fizz. Allow it to fizz for at least 15 minutes, and then pour a saucepan of boiling water down the drain. Repeat this process more than once if the drain is still clogged or emits an odor.

Sanitize the floor. Fill a bucket with at least 2 gallons (7.57L) of very hot water and a half cup (113.4g) of Borax. Wipe the floor with a mop soaked in the mixture. Do not rinse the floor with water; allow the Borax mixture to set.

Produce scouring powder. Mix 1 cup (128g) of baking soda, 1 cup (128g) of Borax and 1 cup (128g) of salt into a small jar or container. Sprinkle the powder on a specific area to be scoured and scrub with a sponge. Scouring powder is a particularly abrasive cleaning substance that can easily remove grime and residue.

Create toilet bowl cleaner. Pour 1/4 cup (32g) of baking soda into the toilet bowl followed by a 1/4 cup (59mL) of white vinegar. Allow the mixture to sit in the bowl for a half hour before scrubbing with a toilet bowl brush and flushing.

Make glass/window cleaner. Blend 1/4 cup (59mL) of white vinegar with at least 3 cups (710mL) of warm water in a spray bottle. Shake the bottle well and spray the glass or window. Wipe the surface with a dry towel.
