As we stroll through 2023, the importance of sustainable and eco-friendly cleaning methods becomes more evident than ever. At New Park Cleaning, we're always on the hunt for innovative, green cleaning solutions that not only ensure pristine results but also tread lightly on our environment. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has long been hailed as a miracle kitchen ingredient, but its prowess extends far beyond culinary delights. Dive into this guide as we unravel the myriad ways ACV can be a game-changer for cleaning routines, melding impeccable hygiene with sustainability.

1. Gleaming Glass & Window Wonder:

Environment: Homes with glass interiors, offices with large glass windows, and establishments with glass facades.

Procedure: Mix equal parts of apple cider vinegar and distilled water in a spray bottle. For those stubborn streaks or grime, a drop of natural dish soap can elevate the cleaning power. Spray onto the glass surface and use a microfibre cloth or crumpled newspaper to wipe in a circular motion. The acidic properties of ACV will break down the dirt and grime, ensuring a streak-free, radiant finish.

Benefits: Not only does this solution leave windows sparkling, but it's also a non-toxic method, ensuring no harmful chemicals are being released into the environment.

2. Lustrous Wooden Surface Reviver:

Environment: Homes with wooden furniture, corporate offices with wooden panelling, and establishments with wooden floors.

Procedure: Create a solution by mixing a cup of water, half a cup of apple cider vinegar, and a splash of olive oil. The vinegar acts as a cleaner, while the olive oil gives wood the nourishment it craves. Dampen a soft cloth with the mixture and wipe wood surfaces gently, following the grain. For best results, finish with a dry cloth to buff and bring out the wood's natural shine.

Benefits: This formula not only cleans but also revives and hydrates wood. It's an eco-friendly alternative to many chemical-based wood polishes and cleaners.

3. Effervescent Carpet Stain Lifter:

Environment: Homes with carpeted rooms, offices with carpeted areas or rugs, and venues like event halls with extensive carpeting.

Procedure: For a general carpet refresh, mix apple cider vinegar with water in equal parts and spray lightly over the carpet, then vacuum as usual. For specific stains, mix two tablespoons of salt with half a cup of apple cider vinegar to create a paste. Apply the paste onto the stain, let it dry, then vacuum. For darker stains, such as coffee or red wine, adding two tablespoons of borax to the mixture can increase its potency.

Benefits: Apple cider vinegar not only lifts off stains but also acts as a natural deodoriser, eliminating odours and leaving carpets smelling fresh. This method offers an affordable, non-toxic solution to commercial carpet cleaners which often contain chemicals.

By leveraging the potent cleaning abilities of apple cider vinegar, New Park Cleaning ensures that every corner of your environment not only looks impeccable but also stands as a testament to eco-friendly and sustainable practices.

4. Miraculous Mould and Mildew Remover:

Environment: Homes with bathrooms, kitchens or basements, office restrooms, and establishments in humid areas susceptible to mould and mildew.

Procedure: Pure apple cider vinegar has proven effective against mould. To treat affected areas, pour undiluted ACV into a spray bottle and apply directly to mouldy surfaces. Allow it to sit for an hour. Afterward, wipe the area clean with water and allow it to dry. The strong acidic nature of ACV eliminates most mould types.

Benefits: Avoid the use of harsh chemicals, which can harm surfaces and respiratory health, by using a natural and effective alternative. ACV is non-toxic, making it safe for most surfaces and the environment.

5. Refreshing Fabric Softener Substitute:

Environment: Homes with washing machines, laundromats, and commercial establishments requiring regular laundry services.

Procedure: Instead of traditional fabric softeners, add ½ cup of apple cider vinegar to the rinse cycle of your laundry. The vinegar helps break down detergent residue, leaving clothes, towels, and linens soft and free from chemical build-up.

Benefits: ACV is hypoallergenic and is a fantastic alternative for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Moreover, it's an eco-friendly choice, reducing chemical discharge into the water system.

6. Dynamic Drainage De-clogger:

Environment: Homes, restaurants, and other businesses with sinks, showers, and drains susceptible to clogging from food particles, hair, and soap residues.

Procedure: Begin by pouring a pot of boiling water down the drain. Then, toss in half a cup of baking soda and let it sit for a few minutes. Follow this with a mix of one cup of apple cider vinegar and one cup of hot water. Allow this fizzy combination to work its magic for 5-10 minutes and then flush it down with another pot of boiling water.

Benefits: This dynamic combo of ACV and baking soda not only clears blockages but also offers a non-corrosive way to maintain your pipes compared to commercial drain cleaners. This ensures longer lifespan of plumbing fixtures and a lesser environmental impact.

Embracing these methods not only advocates for a greener cleaning solution but also harnesses the remarkable versatility and efficacy of apple cider vinegar. Adopting such innovative solutions underlines New Park Cleaning's commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and the health of its clients.
