Time to get cleaning! As always, all of the recipes are written up on my vlog for you to follow: www.madeleineolivia.co.uk/blog/20-diy-natural-cleaning-recipes-hacks-tips

Madeleine Olivia hi! Thanks for your beautiful videos! I enjoy watching them. I’m trying to go green and I have some question...all of these stuff can make a surface clean but how much clean?? Is there any scientific research that ensure us they are as effective as the commercial ones?? For example for cleaning the toilet these can make the surface look clean but what about all the bacteria??
Also do you have any recommendation for washing sponge? They are not environmental friendly but I can’t find a substitute for them.
Thanks a lot 🙏
Do we have to worry about vinegar rusting some metals in kitchen or corroding marble?

Thanks!
I wish more people cared about this stuff!!!
Hannah Burmeister
I strongly agree
Or people that "care" and say how they don't have time, it's too expensive, I can't find these common items.... I just started watching this channel... she's my spirit animal!
Hannah B I wish it was more accessible to 😢
We do. we are all over the planet now. We dont have a choice anymore. We have to clean up our act for the future generations!!
@@larajohnston1190 There is your business plan for the future. Make your own and sell it in glass or in bulk saving our planet.
Important tip: anytime you’re using both vinegar and baking soda to clean, only mix them right on the surface of whatever you’re cleaning. It is the bubbling that helps lift stains and dirt if you pre mix them after the bubbling stops the baking soda and vinegar just turn into water so it’s not very useful after the chemical reaction takes place
I'm so glad i saw this, thank you
I pour baking soda down the sink, let it stand for 15 minutes, then add vinegar and the bubbling action cleans the pipes beautifully.
Avoid using essential oils with hot water. properties are disintegrated so it's wasteful. do not use them just for the smell because you need a tones of plants to make a few drops.
it is not ecological and zero waste. let infuse barks (orange lemon pamplemouse etc) in vinegar and water or just vinegar. when I do my laundry, for example, I let lavender sprinkle in the soap and I do the same thing in my water / vinegar mixture for the softener and for the interior perfume, for the multi-surface cleaner for the carpet. ..
you can also put flowers, dry or fresh plants or bark in a jar of baking soda and it will naturally perfume. Bicarbonate absorbs odors.
it's cheaper and healthier for the environment. you can harvest it everywhere, you can grow it or the fruits of your meals or on your garden, balcony or in bulk (uses the plants, flowers normally dried for the tea and the infusions to drink or for the natural medicine) uses the essential oils rather for medicine and beauty because they are precious. Its not a bad comment i love your Channel ❤️
Aysha Safiya do you think homemade infused oils would work just as well ? It wouldn't have chemicals but it would be based on a lipid like grapeseed oil or something simular
Orange peels in white vinegar spring to mind as a good option for a nice smell. I never realised how wasteful essential oils would be but you are right. I guess think of all the water it takes to water all the trees and flowers! I guess Eucalyptus and Tea Tree would be exceptions as they don't really need much watering - but obviously they're still not zero waste
Thank you for telling me this. I used hot water because I thought it would mix better.
You do realize plants are like a renewable resource?
how long does it last in bottle if i put vinger+ lemon oranges= 3 months, 1 year?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be careful what essential oils you are using if you have any pets.
Not only do cats/dogs have a much more sensitive sense of smelling meaning essential oils can be overwhelming and stress them out, they also absorb them and react differently than us. Cats in particular can not some compounds in essential oils meaning they are highly susceptible to toxicity.
@toadie Right, nobody is safe
Yes, I was shocked to discover that many essential oils are harmful to cats, and can actually destroy their livers. I found a “safe” list that I use, which I’ll find the link for, but here are the safe ones I use: Lavender, Geranium, Rosemary, & Clary Sage. But if you have cats and want to look at the full list, it’s here:
artsyfartsylife.com/cats-essential-oils-dont-mix/
Wow, i didnt know this and never tought about it.. Luckly i havnt used any essential oils yet but i've been wanting to. Is it the same with scented candles?
Yes peppermint oil and many other essential oils can kill dogs if they ingest it. I found that out the hard way (my dog didn’t die) he just got very sick and when I realized what it was I totally excluded essential oils from my home completely. You really don’t need them
Be careful with tee tree oil
Combining an acid (such as vinegar) with something alkaline (such as baking soda) is just gonna make water, a bit of salt and probably a bit of either vinegar or baking soda, as they neutralise each other. For cleaning something directly, like a drain, it's perfectly fine, but it doesn't work when already reacted.
Thank you so much! We're the manufacturer and try to tell people this. If it worked better, WE'D MAKE IT LIKE THAT! Everyone seems to think they're Harry Potter unlocking some magical secret formulas. Just get a GCSE science book out! www.dri-pak.co.uk/the-application-of-science/
Yes I thought that
@@DriPak oh my word! Your website is awesome! Thanks
Love your products by the way :)
I use vinegar in my tile grout and scrub but to neutralize the vinegar after I use the bicarb. Then go over everything with water to wash it all away.
What do you suggest then...?
This weekend I found out that straight coconut oil applied to stainless steal appliances works like a dream to polish them perfectly!!!
This is the most comprehensive eco-cleaning video I've seen; all in less than 15 mins!
I wrote down each one and will start once I finish the bottles of crap I have now. I thank for helping me save money and the planet and my mind trying to run out to get things I already have.
salt is very hard, and will ruin nonstick, enamel and other soft surfaces by cutting with each pass, as it has hard edges
so what do you suggest. You cannot just say that and not give a solution
Apparently due to their chemical properties, when vinegar and baking soda are combined they cancel out each others beneficial properties
I used baking soda on a soda spill then put vinegar on it. It bubbled and cleaned up great. Plus no sticky residue later. I was pretty proud of myself cuz this was before all of this info at our hands in seconds.
What cancels out??? These two mixed together are excellent cleaners
Correct, so this chemical reaction pretty much leaves water as a result... but then water is the universal solvent and universal cleaner LOL. Baking soda is a base, vinegar is an acid... is important to note the ratio used and often times using each of these two with plain water can clean just as good.
Kate W
Nonsense. They neutralize each other when mixed. Neither exists afterwards.
@@welcomeback2mychannel they work well when you need bubbling. Eg to break up a sink blockage.
Ever made a vinegar volcano at preschool? It's literally that.
Vinegar is an acid.
Baking soda is a base.
When you add them together they cancel out to become pH neutral making water and a gas(the bubbles).
Individualy vinegar is good because it's acidic, baking soda is good because it's abrasive... but when you mix them together the vinegar is no longer acidic, and the baking soda dissolves so is no longer abbrasive.
So no. Not good.
It basically just eliminated all the cleaning ability of the ingredients.
In general they don't work well together except in very very *specific* situations where just bubbling is needed and not abrasion or acid.
For the oven situation, you can use a lemon to clean everything up instead of a towel which will help the mix be easier to use and spread while also cleaning the oven even better.
Dysons ROCK! The carpet freshener is also brilliant for freshening your mattress, just follow the same procedure you used for the carpet. It smells sooo good. Baking soda is epically good for cleaning baking trays that have got that brown yukkiness on them, make a paste with water, spread it on, have a cuppa (or G & T) then give it a gentle scrub and, voila! no more yukky tray. Off to clean the shower now 🏃♀️ xx
I really enjoyed this video but I’ve heard some worrying things about soap nuts mainly that the western appetite for them is preventing locals from using them as the growers get more money from us. Has anyone else heard about this?
I hadn't heard about this at all, would like to hear if anyone else knows any information?
There was another comment talking about it
I heard the same thing, which is why I don't use them. I just use a bar of soap, just the big blocks made from saponified oil, water and salt. They have some French
name but I always forget it. I use it for laundry, dishes, cleaning and washing my family.
@@niamha301 washing my family 😂 such a lovely expression 😂😂
@@niamha301 I'm guessing you're talking about Marseille soap (savon de Marseille) ? Because that's what I use for my laundry and yes it works perfectly !
note for people who might want to try it: Marseille soap isn't a protected name so always check that it has 72% of olive oil and is green to be sure it's the original recipe
I got a case of baking soda from Amazon. I use it for so many things. Great video.
Thank you! The best resource I've found on this topic. Perfect since I'm moving out in the autumn :)
So useful! Thank you Madeleine 💕
Lovely, thank you Madeleine!!
Yea I’m definitely switching to natural cleaners now once I’ve used up the ones I still have this is great
A couple of things to enhance your cleaning experience. I vacuum up a small piece of paper towel or tissue that I have placed a few drops of essential oil like peppermint or spearmint on... and while you vacuum that scent wafts throughout the air in your house.
Also, I put a few drops on the cardboard edge... of my furnace filter in the morning, (not the filter fiber itself) and as the air blows throughout the house, you have that wonderful scent... again, peppermint or spearmint are MY favorites because you get that really fresh scent, but lemon or orange or eucalyptus oil would also be great. Or the "Breathe" fragrance if people have colds.
That lasts pretty much all day.
This video is so nicely put together!! I love it!
Really grateful for this video!!!
For a great streak free glass cleaner is rubbing alcohol(or vodka) and white vinegar(equal parts), put in a dab of corn starch. Shake well. Spray on the glass and wipe off. My favorite oven cleaner is some sort of liquid soap and baking soda paste. Add a little water if it’s too dry. Let it sit. Then wipe it out. That is what I used in my janitorial business for twenty years. Cleans anything burned on from pots, ovens, stoves, stained microwaves. It’s a miracle cleaner. Vinegar and water is the best hard water remover. My basic bathroom cleaner is white vinegar and a liquid soap in a spray bottle. My favorite liquid soap for this is dawn dishwashing liquid but Castile soap is almost as good. And my go to essential oil to clean my toilet is pine. I rub the pine essential oil on my wooden toilet seat(most are wood or painted wood). Other cleaners on wood can damage the wood. If there is extra dirt on it, then I spray a rag with my bathroom cleaner and wipe the seat after I’ve applied the oil. To scrub the tub I shake a generous amount of baking soda in the tub and spritz with water. Scrub a bit then spritz with my bathroom cleaner. For light soil on most of the shower all I need is the bathroom cleaner. I generally never use soap on my counters. I will wipe the counters after I clean the sink with my bathroom cleaner and partially rinse out the rag. Otherwise I can just use white vinegar and water on the counters.

Thank you!
Such good tips and recipes! The mix you used as a carpet cleaner is also great for cleaning mattresses! I like to do that about once a month on mine to make sure it stays nice and clean :)
A lot of interesting tips in this video, I look forward to implementing some into my house and cutting down on the pollutants and allergens there. Love the video!
I boil soapnuts and deseeded lemons, cool then puree and strain. Can be mixed with baking soda for a nice scouring paste or vinegar, water and salt can be added to make dishwashing liquid. This is naturally antibacterial because of the lemons.
Great video, thank you so much for compiling all these! I do use all these ingredients already but am never sure how to mix them most efficiently.
Nice tips!
This was the most informative and useful guide to low waste, healthy cleaning.
amazing, thank you!
