My Sustainable Bathroom Cleaning Tips👇 1️⃣ My Sustainable Bathroom Cleaning Tips👇

1️⃣ Instead of a plastic sponge, try a compostable bamboo scrubber (mine is from @zefirowaste)

2️⃣ Make your own DIY cleaning paste (1/3 cup of baking soda + 2 tbsp hydrogen peroxide + a couple pumps of dish soap + a pinch of salt for extra scrubbing power)

3️⃣ Use an old toothbrush to clean small nooks & crannies

4️⃣ Increase the lifespan of your shower liner by scrubbing it with your cleaning paste, rinsing, and then throwing it in the wash on a cold cycle with detergent and 1/4 cup of vinegar added to the fabric softener 
dispenser. (I use laundry sheets from @kindlaundry )

5️⃣ Use a cute thrifted hamper to store clothes that are clean but you don’t want to hang up. Helps control clutter and it’s cute ☺️

6️⃣ Use thrifted or upcycled containers to keep cabinets beneath the sink organized
