As we take personal hygiene seriously since it’s good for our health, regular house cleaning goes the same way. Drinking your coffee in a clean house that also smells good is one of the biggest satisfactions, right?

Regular cleaning keeps our furniture clean and shiny while protecting it and helping it last longer. The following items can help you clean the house the way you want it, and make it smells nice and refreshing.

The upholstered furniture in your house is made for, well, living. Because of the constant use, upholstery can trap dirt, allergens and soils that wear down the fibres and dull the appearance. No matter how careful you are around your furniture, food, wine and oil stains can happen from time to time. For this reason, a good upholstery cleaner is a must-have product in your home cleaners collection. A carefully chosen upholstery cleaner can help your furniture revive and renew its appearance.

From all the products available, finding a quality home upholstery cleaner can be a mindful task. Choose a natural product to take care of your sectional, sofa and ottomans material. Opt for an all-natural formula that only contains vegetable-derived ingratiates to protect and revive your furniture. Make sure that the product you choose has no petroleum, ammonia or bleach (these can damage the material). Non-abrasive, non-acidic, non-toxic cleaners are always the best choice that works brilliantly around your delicate furniture pieces. If you are worried about allergies, you can find non-allergenic furniture upholstery cleaners that are fragrance-free derived only from high-grade essential oils. If your idea of clean furniture is to also smells nice, you can choose a sandalwood-tangerine or fresh lemongrass-lime scent. Your living room can smell like a garden!

Even if there’re no visible stains on your upholstery furniture, it’s a good idea to clean it from time to time to give it a renewed look.

Clean and shiny wooden furniture looks terrific in a house. Your wooden desktop, cabinet, coffee table or chairs needs constant cleaning to keep their shine and to last longer. Lemon oil can find a lot of useful ways around the house, and it also has a lot of health benefits. Lemon oil is not only antiseptic, antimicrobial, and antibacterial but also great at cutting through grease and grime. You can use a lemon oil cleaner to clean and polish all wood surfaces, including antiques, furniture, cabinets, and other wood surfaces. The lemon oil doesn’t dry the wood finish as so many other wood cleaners do over time. Choose a lemon oil polisher to enhance the depth, tone, and natural beauty of the wood grain every time you dust.

Not only it cleans perfectly, but it’s also a great refresher. Mix 4 to 6 drops of oil with a cup of baking soda in a glass jar and use it as a refrigerator deodorant.

The orange essential oil has a lot of health benefits, and it’s also a natural wood protector. Chose a product that contains cold-pressed orange oil and high-grade mineral oil to clean and protect your wooden furniture. These oils help remove dirt and grimy buildup on all your wood furniture without drying out the finish. They are gently, yet highly effective while nourishing and sealing wood naturally. Orange oil is safe for use on al wood surfaces inside and out. It gives your furniture a nice shine and fresh citrus scent.

When combined with tea tree oil, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and dish soap, orange essential oil makes an excellent all-natural floor cleaner.

Vinegar is a magic cleaning agent, or at least, that’s what your grandma would probably say. Women around the world still use vinegar for different ways around the house. Probably the most famous use of white vinegar is for windows cleaning. You can mix equal parts of distilled white vinegar and water and apply to windows with a sponge. Wipe clean using a squeegee. Remember to wet the squeegee first so it won’t skip. Another use of white vinegar is for floor cleaning. For rinse-free cleaning, mop using a solution of one half of a cup of white vinegar to 2 litres of warm water. Don’t forget to change the water if it gets dirty.

Vinegar is a helpful cleaner in the bathroom too. You can use it to remove bathroom film by wiping it first with white distilled vinegar, then baking soda. In the end, rinse away the grime with clean water. You can also wipe shower doors with a sponge soaked in white vinegar to prevent soap scum buildup. Another use of vinegar in the bathroom is to dissolve mineral buildup in showerheads. For this purpose, add a cup of vinegar to a plastic storage bag. Position the bag, so the showerhead sits in the vinegar, and leave it to soak overnight. Remove the bag in the morning and turn the shower to rinse. You will be surprised by the result.

The most thankless job around the house is to keep stainless steel appliances clean and smudge-free. Just when you finally get them looking perfect, someone reaches in the fridge for a snack or pops a frozen pizza in the microwave. And before you know it, your kitchen is in fingerprints, again. A stainless steel cleaner can help you clean the grease, food and fingerprints from all stainless steel areas. For this purpose, opt for a natural product, that is not messy to use and, most importantly, is non-abrasive.

Everyone who has outdoor furniture knows how dust, leaves and other loose debris are likely to gather on it. Regular cleaning is essential to keep outdoor furniture looking good, but it’s never more necessary than after a long, messy winter. Additionally, hot and cold temperature alongside with moisture can cause cracking, drying, or greying on the furniture.

A quality stainless steel cleaner made from a blend of carnauba wax, beeswax and orange oil can help you enhance the natural beauty and depth of grain in outdoor wood furniture. Use a protective cleaner regularly and whenever outdoor furniture looks faded and dry.
