Make Your Own Cleaning Products with Ruby Red Grapefruit
Ruby Red grapefruit is a healthy and delicious fruit that can help you fight off serious disease, but did you know that also is a great natural cleaner for your home? If you want to use more environmentally friendly cleaners, or if you have pets or small children and don't like to use chemical based cleaners around them you can clean almost anything in your home effectively with Ruby Red grapefruit juice. The light, refreshing smell of grapefruit can be mixed with oranges or other citrus scents to make cleaners that work and smell great.
Ruby Red grapefruit has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties that make it ideal for cleaning. You can mix some fresh squeezed grapefruit juice with some distilled water in a spray bottle and use that to effectively get rid of germs on counter tops, toilets, and bathroom sinks. You can also use it on doorknobs or other places where germs gather. Mixing fresh grapefruit juice with simple household vinegar and a little baking soda will make a highly effective scrub that you can use on sinks, stoves, countertops and other areas that tend to get ground in stains. Washing the floor is easy and much safer for your pets and kids when you wash it with hot water, vinegar, and fresh Ruby Red grapefruit juice. The grapefruit juice will also help cut the smell of the vinegar and make your cleaners smell great. If the light grapefruit smell isn't enough for you then you can add orange juice or another citrus juice to make the smell stronger.
People around the world have started switching to natural, homemade cleaning products for a variety of reasons. Some like homemade cleaners because they are cheaper than commercial cleaners. Some like them because they are safe for the environment and for your family members. Some others like them because they are safer on fine surfaces than chemical cleaners. Whatever the reason is that you want to switch to using homemade cleaners you can make effective, inexpensive and great smelling home cleaners with just a box of Ruby Red grapefruit, a few oranges, some household vinegar, and spray bottles. If you want to add a little soap to your cleaners just shave a bar soap that you like, preferably a handmade one, and boil it down. Add the grapefruit juice to the mixture and then bottle it and when it's cool add some vinegar. However, soap is not necessary with grapefruit cleaners because grapefruit is a natural antibacterial agent.
