I’m not one of those people whose houses are as clean as a pharmacy. I’ve been busy leaving a happy life, not cleaning.
But there’s one thing I can’t stand: dirt and mold in the bathroom. And I'm not going to buy a smelly solution from the supermarket to fight the bacteria and dirt, but I'll use a natural recipe instead, to keep my bathroom clean and safe.
Keep reading to discover the old trick that I'm using!
You need 25oz. white vinegar and a big orange.  Wash the orange thoroughly, in order to clean the wax that usually protects the peel. Peel the orange, then place the peels into a big jar, and pour all the vinegar on top. Cover it with the lid, and keep it for 2 weeks at room temperature.
Spray the solution on dry surfaces to clean them. Let it work for five to ten minutes, or even more, depending on the water hardness in your area.
Wipe it out with a cloth or, if the stains are too bulky, clean them with a sponge or a brush. Actually, using a brush would be the best thing to do in order to clean small or thin spaces where you can hardly reach.
Finally, wash the surface with lukewarm water and you can even dry it with a cloth to see the results. As far as I’ve seen in my bathroom, those surfaces would be as clean as a clear mirror…
You’ll say that there’s no ancient secret hidden over here, and you might be right at some point. But even so, how comes that so many people still ignore the value of this old trick and other similar wisdom? We rely so much an industry and bought items that we forgot how healthy life used to be ages ago.Check OBRAZNICATURI website to see the whole story of this old cleaning trick, and more projects and ideas for a happy and healthy life!

    Works great!! Just remember not to use on marble or any polished stone as it will eat the finish off.
