Eco house cleaning products are sometimes the least expected items around the house. We always think that the sole purpose of coffee filters is to help us get our shot of morning caffeine. But they are in fact a dime a dozen.
Coffee filters help you carry out a thorough house cleanup to all the screens in your household. TV screens, computers, windows, and cell phones could be taken care of with these magical dust-free tools. Even better, they have the ability to catch the dust without scratching your screen.
#6 – Light Bulbs + Alcohol

Usually, when we deep clean a chandelier or lampshade we make sure to dust them well; however, we frequently neglect to take care of the light bulbs themselves. One the reasons light bulbs lose some of their glow is the accumulating dust on them.
That’s why you need to make it part of your whole house cleaning routine to wipe light bulbs. The best way to do so is to add a small quantity of rubbing alcohol on a cloth and wipe the grime away, and then you’ll notice the difference in brightness.
#7 – Use Bread To Dust Paintings

One of the most distinctive features of bread is its ability to absorb, grab onto, and soak up many things it comes into contact with. This is one of the reasons why many people use it to sober up after getting too many shots.
Bread is also very helpful in gathering dust. This doesn’t mean that you have to keep on buying bread to keep the house clean, but you can use loaves of bread in case you wanted to dust your paintings, and you don’t want to use other methods that could ruin your valuable piece of art.
#8 – Clean Fake Plants

This may come across as something hard to believe, but even fake plants can wilt. When you first purchase them, these decoration items have a shine on them; however, they start to fade away with time.
Especially when you don’t take care of them and dust them frequently. When dust starts accumulating on these plants, it gives them an ugly look and they’ll end up “undecorating” your house instead of giving it a nice look.
In order to get rid of the ugly dust, you can use another unexpected affordable home cleaning product, which is mayonnaise. Put a small amount of mayonnaise on a piece of cloth and give your plants a shiny look.
#9 – Using A Ruler For Cleaning

In addition to brushes, rulers can be very useful in making you clean difficult grates. They can also help you to get to those deep or high spots on closets, pantries, as well as cupboards and cabinets.
Simply roll a cloth around the ruler and use a cord or rubber band to fix it and keep it firm. And then, you’ll have the ability to reach slim places under speakers, decorations, refrigerators and various other hard places to get to.

The vents in the house can be magnets for dust and dirt; specifically, if your house is equipped with centralized heating or air conditioning.
You can clean this dust by opting for many of the methods listed above or use a regular washcloth. If you want to clean it more effectively, use a cloth with turtle wax and wipe the vents.
This way you will also prevent dust from gathering for a long period of time, and you will have to clean them less frequently.
