Uses of Castile Soap for Green Cleaning
Castile soap is used as a base product for several green cleaning recipes. Though the majority of green cleaning recipes will not have Castile soap and will instead use items such as baking soda, rubbing alcohol and white vinegar there are still some recipes that will stick to Castile soap. There are several reasons that people will use Castile soap in cleaning. Some of these reasons are for a deeper clean while others are for the benefits of Castile soap itself. Here are a few uses of Castile soap for green cleaning.
All Purpose Cleaning
All purpose cleaning and green cleansers can benefit greatly from the addition of Castile soap to the recipe. A simple all purpose cleaner can be made from hot water, baking soda, Castile soap and white vinegar. A scented Castile soap is usually the choice by many green households. Castile soap will cut through grease easily, which makes it perfect for the kitchen. Castile soap will also rinse clear with no film left behind.
Sink and Tub Scrub
Sinks and tubs can be the hardest things to clean in your home. Some people may think that natural cleaning options will not clean these hard to tackle areas. The truth is that a mixture of Castile soap and baking soda can create a sink and a tub paste scrub that will remove not only tarnish, but also hard water stains and soap scum. The paste can also be used on shower walls and tiles to remove the soap scum and film that builds up after showers. By placing this scrub into a plastic bag and attaching the bag to faucets and shower heads, you can help remove and eliminate build up that causes water flow issues.
Floor Solution
Everyone has had the floor mopping issue. You may have tried everything from so-called green solution to items like all in one mops and steam mops. The problem is you may still find that your floors are not where you want them to be on a clean scale. This is why a Castile soap solution may be perfect for you. The Castile soap floor solutions rinse clean, are not harmful and best of all do not have a harsh chemical scent. Your floor is clean and there is no film or residue to mop up.
