Use Baking Soda to Restore Shine to Your Oven:
Baking soda effectively removes dirt and grime from your oven. Sprinkle it over dirty areas, then spray with water. For vertical walls, you can create a paste to leave overnight before scrubbing with a sponge. There you have it, a brand new oven!
Use French Chalk to Neutralize Bad Odors:
Montmorillonite, a true ally against unpleasant odors. Simply sprinkle a bit on surfaces emitting unpleasant odors (such as litter boxes, ashtrays…) and let it work its magic; the odor will dissipate.
Use Blanc de Meudon to give your lawn a boost:
The use of Blanc de Meudon, or Spanish white, might seem unusual for the garden, but it significantly helps those who want a vibrant and green lawn. Simply spread the product over the entirety of your lawn, using approximately 100 grams per square meter of surface, and let it sit. The lawn will absorb and benefit from all the calcium, making it greener as summer approaches! There’s no danger to your children or pets; this product is 100% natural and biodegradable.
Use Sorrel Salt to Remove Oxidation from Metals:
Restoring the shine to tarnished metals is very simple with the power of Sorrel Salt. All you need to do is immerse an object in a mixture of Sorrel Salt and hot water for a few minutes, and once rinsed, dry it. It will regain its original appearance.
Use Washing Soda Crystals to Clean the Bottom of Toilets:
Washing soda crystals will help you restore your toilet bowl to its pristine condition. Put 2 to 3 tablespoons in 1 liter of very hot water and wait for the crystals to dissolve. Then pour into the toilet bowl and let it sit for 20 minutes. Scrub, and you’re done.
Use Citric Acid to Remove Limescale from Your Toilets:
Citric acid is an excellent limescale remover that will allow you to clean and descale your toilets. Just mix 2 teaspoons with half a liter of warm water, and you’ll have brand new toilets! (Bonus tip: it also has the ability to remove moss from your terraces, which is quite useful as the days approach).
Use Sodium Percarbonate to Restore Shine to Your Oven:
Sodium Percarbonate effectively removes dirt and grime from your oven. Sprinkle it over dirty areas, then spray with water. For vertical walls, you can create a paste to leave overnight before scrubbing with a sponge. There you have it, a brand new oven!
