DIY: 4 eco-friendly products to clean your home  It's cheaper, zero-waste, and keeps your cupboards clear!  With La Maison du Zéro Déchet

Transcript

00:00Our cupboards are filled with dozens of maintenance products, which are supposed to wash each one

00:08particular room or a particular surface.

00:11It's a lot of packaging, some of these products are potentially toxic and pollute the air

00:16inside.

00:17Instead, we can only use four products very simple to clean your whole house.

00:21It's more eco-friendly and zero waste.

00:23The white vinegar is an excellent degreaser, you can, for example, use it to degrease

00:32your boiler by diluting vinegar in water and letting it sit overnight.

00:38Be careful, do not boil the white vinegar because it is extremely corrosive for the

00:42boiler.

00:43And it is also very effective for degreasing the toilets.

00:45You can also use it in a sprayer, diluted or not, to wash the walls of the bathroom,

00:53your tap, but also your windows.

00:56White vinegar has a strong smell, but it disappears quite quickly and above all, it is not toxic

01:01like the smell of bleach.

01:03By adding black soap in hot water, I can clean any surface, such as

01:13ceramic glass plates, worktops or any other furniture.

01:15It also allows you to clean your oven and microwave.

01:21For the floors, the same thing, black soap in hot water and then you can scrub them with it.

01:32It can be used as a deodorant by putting it in a glass and putting it on a shelf in the fridge.

01:43It can also be used as a sprayer by putting it on a damp sponge and rubbing it.

01:51For the pans or pans that have burned a little, you put a little bit on the bottom

01:57and then you cover them with boiling water for about 15 minutes.

02:03There are two types of bicarbonate, technical bicarbonate and food bicarbonate, but both

02:08can be used to maintain the house.

02:14By rubbing the soap against the damp sponge, we simply replace the dishwasher.

02:20We can use our Marseille soap by detaching it before washing, by rubbing directly

02:28our Marseille soap against the damp cloth and by putting it in the machine.

02:34And you can also use a piece of soap in your pantry as a deodorant or a tinnit.

02:41Be careful, most of the Marseille soap we find in the store is made from palm oil.

02:45To avoid that, opt for a green Marseille soap, which is based on olive oil in general,

02:50and read the composition of the soap before purchase.

02:57All these products can be bought in flea markets or in organic stores.

03:00For other uses, we can also combine them.

03:02An excellent canneling deodorant can be made with salt, bicarbonate and white vinegar.

03:08These last two ingredients can also be used to clean your gaskets.

03:12And you can also wrap your Marseille soap to put it in a laundry or dishwasher recipe with black soap.

03:18We have seen several examples of use, but there are many more depending on your needs.

03:23What must be remembered above all is that these four products prevent you from buying

03:26very specific new products that you will use maybe only once a year.

03:30It therefore reduces its impact on the environment, but also to unclog your cupboards and save money.
