Vinegar is natural, and eco-friendly cleaner. It is a powerful solvent solution which contains about 5% acetic acid. Fill a spray bottle with the mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water (distilled is best). Spray it anywhere that needs good cleaning.

  3. You can also use it to disinfect and deodorize medical equipment at home.

Salt

The magical ingredient for turning imperfection into perfection, this miracle element no matter what type you sprinkle into your favorite recipes, the same crystals can be used to clean carpet, copper dishes/equipment, and everything in between. The best part is that this ingredient is nontoxic and the most affordable on the list.
