Ingredients Used to Make Natural Disinfectants
1. Vinegar
A favourite disinfectant of all time is Vinegar. It is easily available and is used to sanitise food surfaces, removing laundry stains, kitchen, windows, etc. It can also be used for cleaning produces like fruits and vegetables. The only drawback with vinegar is the smell. One needs to keep in mind that it can kill viruses and bacteria but not all.
2. Vodka
Vodka is also a great natural disinfectant which can be on surfaces such as cutting boards and on fabrics such as tapestries and curtains. The best part of vodka is that it naturally deodorizes fabrics and carpets, so it's the better alternative as a DIY Fabric Refresher. It's flammable, so be careful when you use it, but as an all-around disinfectant, it is perfect.
3. Rubbing Alcohol
Rubbing alcohol is an effective disinfectant that has been recommended by the WHO itself. It has been used to make hand sanitiser as well. One can use it for cleaning toilets and tubs. It has a heavy smell so uses them in a well-ventilated environment or open windows after use. Another important thing is to never mix the rubbing alcohol with bleach because they will produce a dangerous mixture with the ability to cause severe health problems. It can be used to clean fabrics and carpets to remove stains but make sure the fabrics are pre-checked first.
4. Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide used to disinfect most surfaces. Simply place a spray nozzle on the bottle to disinfect surfaces such as doorknobs, seats in the toilet, etc. They are the perfect alternative for the bleach, so don’t use on carpets, upholstery, curtains, and fabrics as it whitens the fabrics.
