Natural disinfectants
Natural options for disinfectants
- Borax - Kills bacteria and deodorises. Mix with hot water and vinegar or lemon juice to get rid of stubborn stains in toilet bowls. Can also be used instead of bleach to combat recurring mould.
- Lemon juice - An effective and pleasant-smelling alternative to bleach. Useful as a mould-inhibitor as well as a disinfectant. For stubborn mildew stains on shower curtains, rub with lemon juice and dry in the sun.
- Salt - Dissolve in water to use as a mild disinfectant in kitchens and bathrooms. Salt is also good for cleaning surfaces that require a gentle abrasive. Mixes well with vinegar and water as a surface cleaner.
- Soap - Washes away bacteria and is an important part of basic sanitation. Pure soap flakes are available in supermarkets, or you could make your own by grating a bar of pure soap.
- Tea-tree and eucalyptus oils - Strong but pleasant-smelling and economical to use as you need just a few drops. Add to hot water when wiping down surfaces.
