Today I’m sharing natural cleaning tips, hacks and recipes from some of my favorite bloggers.
If you have been around this blog for any length of time you know, when it comes to cleaning, I try to do things naturally… and on a budget. While I have shared many cleaning tips over the years, I found several cleaning hacks I had never tried, so I thought I’d share them with you today.
All Natural Cleaning Tips
Carpet Stain Removal with Water & An Iron
I was SO excited to read this tip!!! A long time ago, I tried out several different methods for carpet stain removal, and the one that ended up working best used ammonia (so stinky). I want to run up and give Ashley a huge hug for this tip. Totally chemical free way to remove carpet stains! Woohoo. Is it weird that I wanna go pour some red wine on my carpet just to try it out?
How to Clean A Stainless Steel Sink
One of my most popular posts is about How to Clean a Porcelain Sink, and I often get asked about what to do with stainless steel. Since I don’t have a stainless steel sink, I could not give a confident reply. Well, Cassie, from The Thrifty Couple, has the answer for you. Thanks Cassie!
How to Clean A Vinyl Shower Curtain
Never have I thought to clean my vinyl shower curtains. When the curtain gets moldy, I throw it and buy a new one. But when Kristi, from Chatfield Court, shared how easy (and effectively) you could clean the curtain (and eliminate extra waste), I was sold.
How to Clean Real House Plants with Milk
I can guarantee you this cleaning tip would never have shown up on this blog if it weren’t for Meegan, from Meegan Makes. I cannot keep plants alive. I am dead serious. (Originally this wasn’t intended as a pun, but while proofreading, I realized it was well inserted 🙂 ) I kill everything. Luckily, there is a way to clean up those live plants using something you probably have in your fridge right now. Who knew?
How to Naturally Clean Wool Rugs
If you have wool rugs, and you’re thinking there’s no way to get them clean, think again. Tara, from Lehman Lane, has a great tip for cleaning wool rugs. It’s absolutely free and doesn’t use any chemicals. My kind of cleaning tip!
How to Clean Vintage Finds
I have recently discovered a love for shopping vintage, but sometimes the best treasures are a little dirty and smell a little funky. Daune, from Cottage in the Oaks, has great tips for getting those items cleaned up and smelling great.
How to Naturally Clean Hardwood Floors
I don’t have 120 year old wood floors like Jessica, from Décor Adventures (but I wish I did 🙂 ). I do, however, have hardwood in my kitchen (only, like, 14 years old). I’m not even going to tell you what I use to clean it because Jessica’s idea is probably a much better way to go.
How to Clean White Cabinets
I am experiencing a bit of kitchen envy. I want a white kitchen SO badly. One of my big concerns, however, is how to maintain the white when it comes to all the kitchen grime. Carli, from Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, has a great solution. I just might need to get out my white paint after all.

I am so excited to try some of these cleaning tips. Thank you for including my plant cleaning tip. I really appreciate it.

I absolutely loved this tip. I had never heard of it before (maybe because I have a black thumb???). Thanks for letting me share it with my readers!
Thanks for sharing my Microwave cleaning tip Erin! Love your fabulous blog. I agree. I love how the blogging community is so encouraging and from my experience not competitive! I really love all of these tips! I’m going to give a few of these a good go soon. x
I love the idea of adding the lemon. Such a fresh, clean smell. Thanks for letting me share your tip!

Thanks for contributing your “ring around the collar” trick. I’m definitely trying that one out. My husband wears dress shirts every day as well, and I’m always looking for the best way to work out those stains.
Awesome cleaning tips, Erin! Thanks so much for sharing my tip on cleaning a shower curtain.
Absolutely! Thank your for sharing it! I seriously would never have thought to toss that curtain in the washing machine. Great tip!
