 Maid in Cabo Guide to Eco-Friendly Cleaning: Protect Your Home & Planet

Why Switch to Green Cleaning?

  • Safer for families & pets (no toxic fumes)

  • Reduces plastic waste (hello, refillable bottles!)

  • Just as effective as chemical cleaners

5 Must-Have Natural Cleaners

  1. White Vinegar

    • Degreases | Disinfects | Removes odors
      Pro Tip: Mix 1:1 with water + lemon peel for fresh scent

  2. Baking Soda

    • Scours surfaces | Deodorizes carpets
      Power Combo: Baking soda + vinegar = natural drain opener

  3. Castile Soap

    • All-purpose cleaner (floors, windows, counters)
      DIY Recipe: 1/4 cup soap + 2 cups water + 10 drops tea tree oil

  4. Hydrogen Peroxide (3%)

    • Kills mold/mildew | Whitens grout
      Important: Test on colored surfaces first

  5. Essential Oils

    • Tea tree (antifungal) | Lemon (degreaser) | Lavender (calming)
