But beware of household products that can be harmful to your health and the environment. This year, opt for an eco-friendly spring cleanSpring is the ideal season for a spring clean! But beware of household products that can be harmful to your health and the environment. This year, opt for an eco-friendly spring clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our tips for a natural 100% household<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a good spring clean, it's not necessary to have a specific product for each room. The secret is to use multi-purpose, eco-friendly cleaners. To create these products, you'll need 5 essential ingredients to mix according to the recipes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>White vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black soap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clay stone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The lemon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baking soda<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Be careful, as some mixtures can cause a chemical reaction, as in the case of white vinegar and baking soda.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To clean your floors:<\/strong>&nbsp;Black soap (a natural degreaser), to which you add water, white vinegar and a few drops of essential oils (according to your taste).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To clean your windows:<\/strong>&nbsp;In a spray bottle or bowl, mix 75cl cold or lukewarm water with 25cl white vinegar. After spraying the mixture onto the glass, wipe with a cloth until all traces have disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For laundry<\/strong>, There's nothing better than Marseille soap! Cut up small pieces of your soap, mix with baking soda and water, and you've got an eco-friendly detergent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally,&nbsp;<strong>to unblock your pipes:<\/strong>&nbsp;Make a cocktail of baking soda and white vinegar! Leave for a few minutes, then rinse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 4 steps to follow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to\u2019<strong>aerate and deodorize<\/strong>, For a natural and effective solution, let the sun shine into your home by opening the windows wide for a few hours. When it comes to air fresheners, opt for natural, organic products such as clay or Armenian paper, which naturally absorb odours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step is to&nbsp;<strong>tidy up, sort without wasting&nbsp;<\/strong>! Take advantage of this spring cleaning to get rid of products you no longer need. Start in the kitchen, check your cupboards and free yourself from your collection of out-of-date products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's also a good time to think about&nbsp;<strong>a new organization, such as buying products in bulk<\/strong>. To store your pasta, rice and lentils, you can recycle glass jars of compote, an aesthetic and ecological storage solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In your bedroom, it's time to<strong>&nbsp;update and sort your wardrobe<\/strong>, We avoid throwing away as much as possible when offering or selling our clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third step,&nbsp;<strong>cleaning<\/strong>, As explained at the beginning of our article, once you've made a little space, it's time to get down to business! The best option is to make your own cleaners using healthy, environmentally-friendly products. But you can also opt for eco-labelled cleaning products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fourth and final stage,&nbsp;<strong>make a list of things you don't want to forget, such as little nooks and crannies<\/strong>, First of all, dust the sockets and switches with a dry cloth, then move your furniture to remove the dust (which often accumulates) behind them.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning water features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving on to the kitchen, use white vinegar diluted with water to get your appliances looking like new again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To degrease your microwave, heat a bowl of water with lemon juice for 5 minutes. For the oven, sprinkle the walls with baking soda and white vinegar. Leave for several minutes before rinsing! For the fridge, use a cloth, warm water and white vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the bathroom, use the same tools as for your fridge. You can also use a spray. And to restore the white shine to your bathroom seals, use an old toothbrush soaked in a mixture of water, lemon and coarse salt. That's all there is to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all that effort, it's off to the deckchair for a well-deserved rest!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is already well underway, and if you haven't done your spring cleaning yet, you've come to the right place!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":2704,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2700"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2705,"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2700\/revisions\/2705"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naeco.bzh\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
