Hector highlights the importance of non-toxic cleaners, free from harmful chemicals. He recommends products like Seventh Generation Multi-Surface Cleaner and Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day. Hector says, “These eco-friendly options ensure a safer environment for families and pets while effectively tackling dirt and grime.”

Hector advises using a bleach solution (1:10 ratio) for non-porous surfaces, or natural alternatives like vinegar and baking soda. Essential supplies include protective gear, brushes, and cleaning solutions. To prevent mold, ensure proper ventilation, maintain low humidity, and use mold-resistant materials. Mold poses health risks and can damage home structures, making prevention crucial.

Hector reveals that a slice of bread can act as a sponge for small messes, while ice cubes and vanilla deodorize garbage disposals. Olive oil and salt lift stains from wooden tables, and microwaving a sponge sanitizes it effectively. A butter knife wrapped in cloth cleans between oven and countertop gaps. These simple hacks utilize everyday items for efficient kitchen cleaning.
