### 🏡 Top Tips for Chemical-Free Cleanliness

#### 1. **Make Your Own All-Purpose Cleaner**

Mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Add 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil for a fresh scent. Use it to wipe down countertops, glass, and even floors.

#### 2. **Baking Soda Magic**

Sprinkle baking soda on sinks, tubs, or stovetops before scrubbing to remove stains and odors. For tough spots, make a paste with water or lemon juice.

#### 3. **Natural Glass Cleaner**

Combine 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar, and a few drops of castile soap. Spray and wipe with a microfiber cloth for streak-free windows and mirrors.

#### 4. **Deodorize Carpets and Upholstery**

Sprinkle baking soda liberally on carpets or furniture, let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then vacuum. It absorbs odors naturally and refreshes your home.

#### 5. **Use Lemon for Brightening and Disinfecting**

Rub lemon halves on cutting boards, sinks, or stained areas. Lemon’s acidity cuts grease and kills some bacteria, leaving a fresh scent.

#### 6. **Steam Cleaning for Deep Clean**

Steam cleaners use just water to sanitize floors, fabrics, and surfaces without chemicals. It’s great for allergy sufferers and families with kids.
