21.01.2022 We at Geco offer completely natural cleaning service as a preference. Here are a few natural cleaning truths Lemon juice will rid your exhaust fan of odours and oil stains. Half the lemon and rub over the metal surface. The acids will remove the fats and oils. For stubborn stains use a little natural detergent on a cloth to help. Oil will get rid of sticky residues.... The fatty acids in the oil will dissolve the glue effectively. For stubborn glue or sticky residues on hard surfaces mix a little olive oil and a pinch of salt in a bowl and rub onto the area with a kitchen cloth. Once removed wipe the surface clean with water and detergent. Vinegar can’t be used on everything. While vinegar is the wunderkind of natural cleaning products. It should not be used on natural stone, marble or granite surfaces. The acid reacts aggressively with these materials. Sparkling water removes stains providing they are not oils/fats and the water still has plenty of fizz The carbon dioxide it contains really does help dissolve the stains on fabrics. Saturate the spill and blot it with a dry absorbent cloth in a circular motion dabbing not rubbing. Coffee grounds are not a natural Draino Pouring your coffee grounds into drains does not aid with unclogging, rather the opposite as they stick to other remains causing more clogging. Several spoons of Bicarb with a vinegar chaser will be a far better solution. Once the cup of vinegar reacts and causes fizzing bubbles, rinse away with hot water for a fresh drain. See more

17.01.2022 Here at Geco, we try to use as much environmentally friendly products as possible. When it comes to domestic cleaning products, we know many popular brands contain a laboratory full of harmful chemicals. Sure, they get the job done but at what cost to our environment? Below is a list of the common toxic ingredients found in many popular cleaning products: Phosphates water softeners found in detergents that aids the growth of algae blooms, which can kill off fish populatio...ns. Sodium hydroxide a corrosive found in drain, metal and oven cleaners. It is extremely irritating to the eyes, nose and throat and can burn skin tissues on contact. Sodium lauryl sulphate a common foaming agent that can penetrate the skin and could cause contact dermatitis. Phthalates found regularly in fragrances, these have been linked to reproductive anomalies and liver cancer in study animals and also to asthma in infants. Ammonia poisonous when swallowed, an extreme irritant to respiratory passages if inhaled and can burn skin on contact. With this in mind, we are constantly searching for safe, natural alternatives to keep homes clean. Some alternatives that can be used are: Bicarbonate of soda Salt Lemon juice Vinegar Tea tree oil Soda water Liquid soap Washing soda Ensure that you research what you use, as some safe products can still damage certain surfaces-especially such things as marble.

10.01.2022 Part 1 of the wonders of Bi Carb There are many non-poisonous products that can be used for basic household cleaning. Next to vinegar, the most useful of these is baking soda. Like vinegar, baking soda has three major things going for it as a cleanser: It's non-toxic. Sure, eaten in large amounts it might make you feel unpleasant, but it's not poisonous. It's multi-purpose. The suggestions in this article are only a few of the many ways that baking soda can be used as a h...ousehold cleanser. Best of all, it's CHEAP! The cost of baking soda is far less than that of any other, specialized cleaning agent. Baking soda (or bicarbonate of soda, as it is also known) is a naturally occurring material, present in most organic life forms. It can be "made" from sodium carbonate, or soda ash. The soda ash is dissolved in a carbon dioxide rich solution, and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) precipitates out. As its name suggests, baking soda can be used for cooking. It can also be used medicinally and, as we will discuss in this article, for cleaning. In the kitchen The kitchen is the most likely place to find baking soda. Don't stop with using it for baking, though! 1. A box or small bowl of baking soda in the refrigerator, freezer, or any cupboard will keep away unpleasant odours. 2. Similarly, baking soda will keep away garbage odours; sprinkle the bottom of the pail, and then sprinkle again after you put a new bag in. 3. Grease fires can be put out by sprinkling them with baking soda. 4. To clean surfaces, sprinkle baking soda on a damp cloth. Wipe, then rinse with clean water. 5. To remove stale smells from food containers, rinse out with hot water and baking soda. If the smell persists, let the container soak overnight in the baking soda and water mixture. 6. To clean silver, use a paste of 3 parts baking soda to one part water. Rub the paste onto each item, then rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. 7. To remove scuff marks or grease spills from the floor, sprinkle with baking soda and then wipe with a warm, damp cloth. This is even safe for no-wax floors! 8. For burnt-on food in the bottom of pots, sprinkle with baking soda, then add hot water. Let soak overnight; the dried on food will come loose much more easily. See more
