The commercial cleaning supplies used to give our business and industrial properties the deep clean they need on a regular basis often contain harsh chemicals that may aggravate the skin and infuriate allergies but did you know there are a number of household products that can be put to use on the commercial cleaning scene for results that are easy on the eye and on your health?

Ammonia is one such product, available for purchase at supermarkets and DIY stores, this rather smelly substance dramatically cuts through dirt and grease making it ideal for kitchen deep cleaning. As well as stripping floors and cleaning windows until they are sparkling, ammonia can also be used for oven cleaning. Simply placing a small bowl of ammonia into a dirty oven overnight will see grime melt away, finish by rinsing with warm water. But beware, ammonia is very pungent and can often cause irritation so take precautions when using this product by protecting your hands, nose and mouth, and avoiding contact with the skin. Never mix ammonia with bleach.

Baking soda is known for being a favourite amongst bakers but in fact this would also come in handy when completing kitchen deep cleaning. Baking soda can be used as a multi-purpose cleaner in both commercial and domestic environments and is known for cleaning, deodorising, polishing and scouring away ground-in dirt as well as removing the most stubborn of stains. Unbelievably, tomato ketchup can also be used to polish copper to leave it looking as good as new, whilst lemon juice works well with porcelain and aluminium, cutting into grease, removing stains and creating a whiter, brighter appearance.

Tackling damaged and dirty carpets as part of your commercial cleaning contract? Usually reserved for cooking, corn starch could just be the remedy you are looking for and is known for its grime fighting properties as well as thickening a tasty soup or sauce. Corn starch is the perfect addition to carpets and rugs that need deodorising and removes even the most pungent odours in a jiffy! Corn starch can also be used in your wider cleaning regime to polish silver, remove stubborn grease stains (especially on leather and fabric) and clean away unsightly residue left by regular furniture polishing products.

Conclusion

Should you be looking to add a bit of va va voom and less irritation to your commercial cleaning routine, then why not raid your kitchen cupboards to find a product with hidden, cleaning qualities!
