The use of toxic cleaners is causing UK water quality to plummet as the nitrogen-rich mixtures flow into water bodies, proving problematic for aquatic life and water itself. To lessen further reduction in water quality, use items in your cupboard: white vinegar kills bacteria on mirrors and windows; deodorise fridges and freezers with baking soda; use lemon juice to eliminate bacteria lurking on walls and floors. What’s in it for you? You can reduce your expenditure on cleaning agents whilst sustaining a clean home!
