A spotless countertop!

Natural stone, wood or laminate... every countertop has its miracle product!

For natural stone opt for degreasing and disinfectant water and vinegar. An uncooperative stain? Mix a little hot water and baking soda to remove it.

A mark on your wooden countertop? Rubbing half a lime on the area will quickly eliminate the problem. Whilst on laminate, a mixture of lukewarm water and black soap will save the day!

An organic dishwashing liquid!

Whether you're fond of zero waste and natural products or you’re eager to save money, there's always a good reason to make your own household products. Maintain your kitchen and forget the supermarket shelves!

Grandma's tip: Pour 80 cl of boiling water and 50 g of Marseille soap into a basin, wait a few minutes and then pour 1 tablespoon of black soap, baking soda, spirit vinegar and soda crystals.

Once the mixture has cooled add a few drops of essential oil and you're good to go!

A sparkling sink!

The stainless steel sink’s best friend? Baking soda!

Make a paste with 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate and one of water and apply it over the surface of the sink with a sponge, rinsing with hot water and drying with a cloth in circular motions. Good as new!

A clever trick if you have nothing on hand: rub half a lemon directly on the surface of the sink and then rinse with hot water. Minimum investment, maximum efficiency!
