Some natural cleaners you can find at your home

White Vinegar: White vinegar is one of the most used house cleaning agents. Because of its acidic properties vinegar is used to clean hard stains like rust and clean glassy surfaces.

Sodium Bicarbonate/Baking Soda: Baking soda is used to clean steel objects as it can easily rub off rust and give materials a shiny look. You can use it by dipping it in a cotton cloth and rubbing rusty materials.

Borax or Sodium Borate: This is similar to baking soda because both of them are almost the same mixtures but Borax being slightly stronger than Baking Soda. It can be used to remove stains from materials like clothes.
