if you want a nice, clean, hygenic toilet without the bleach, white vinegar and baking soda… I cant use bleach because I have a soakage style septic and yes it does require a quick brush whilst fizzing (and practice to get the powder on the walls!) but I have even got rid of limescale that I inherited from the previous owner. The vinegar is too acidic for bacteria too.

Also try Ceylon Cinnamon Leaf Oil. 1% Cinnamon oil mixed with 99% water makes a very powerful anti-bacterial wipe. It's not a degreaser but it will disinfect everything and leave a lovely scent. Gets rid of mold, safe for use inside the refrigerator, disinfect the toilet, disinfect toys and does not stain. Not for use by pregnant women, but otherwise this is fantastic and all natural. It is even thought to improve alertness and memory, especially in Alzheimer patients. Another good cleaning product is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which works very well. It’s just fiber sponge that lifts the dirt or stains.

In reply to MsXpat.

Your blog is a good read! Thanks for following – if you get a chance I would really appreciate a like on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/EcoThriftyLiving.

You could get a steam cleaner for wooden/ tile floors if they are particularly dirty or use a microfibre mop and a water spray – no chemicals involved.

Use microfibre cloths and water sprays on work surfaces and doors.

To get rid of smells – bicarbonate of soda does a great job – in fact I often sprinkle some into the bottom of my bin to keep smells away.

Hope it all goes well in your new place and if anyone else has any suggestions for a deep clean please feel free to add them below.

Thanks for stopping by my blog :0) I'm now a new follower of this blog.

Great post! I'm should be moving house soon, any suggestions for a big clean of the new place, the former tenants were not that clean and tidy. The less chemical I can use the better as I suffer from eczema.
