So, why DIY?
Using natural DIY cleaning products made with filtered water from your home water purifier is a great way to go green and take care of the environment. You’re not going to have any pesky chemicals that will harm you, your family, your pets or your surrounds. Plus, there is a lot less wastage when it comes to packaging.
Going the DIY route is also a lot easier on your wallet. Since you’re using a lot of everyday things that you most likely already have in your home, you’re not going to be paying for fancy brand names and unnecessary packaging.
It’s pretty obvious – get even more from your WFA home water purifier system and go DIY!
Squeaky-clean dishes
3 tbsp Solvol Liquid Soap
2 cups warm filtered water
2 tsp of glycerine
2 tbsp white vinegar
5-10 drops of lavender oil (You can use any oil you please – we like lavender for its soothing scent and antibacterial properties.)
Mix all ingredients in a glass jar and give it a good shake. We recommend using about two tbsp for washing up dishes.
Streak-free windows and mirrors
½ cup of white vinegar
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 cups warm filtered water
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and transfer to a spray bottle.
The cornstarch might sound like an odd addition, but it makes for a really effective non-abrasive cleaner for your windows and mirrors. It scrubs off even the most troublesome of stains. Trust us – you’ll be blown away by the results.
Do-it-all cleaner
¼ cup of white vinegar
1 tbsp baking soda
1 litre filtered water
½ lemon
Optional: a few drops of lemon essential oil
Add the ingredients to a large bowl, squeeze in the juice from half your lemon and stir well. Pop it in a spray bottle and off you go!
This multi-purpose concoction can be used just about anywhere – the kitchen, bathroom and even on your furniture (Make sure to do a small patch test first.). Plus, the lemon makes everything smell nice and fresh.
Perfect floors
Approx 3L of filtered water
2 tbsp of white vinegar
Juice from half a lemon
Optional: a few drops of essential oils such as tea tree or lavender
Combine all ingredients in a bucket, grab a mop and get going!
NOTE: Some essential oils can be harmful to pets, so make sure to check their toxicity before adding them to your cleaning concoctions.

What’s the Difference Between Boiled and Filtered Water?
Boiling is one of the oldest methods of making water safe, and for good reason. It quickly kills most bacteria, viruses and parasites that can be present in a supply. But boiling isn’t the only way people protect their water, and it certainly isn’t the same as filtering. The difference between the two is often misunderstood, and it’s bigger than it first appears.
Spring reset: Why filtered water should be part of your detox
Spring feels like the right time for a reset, which is why detox routines often make their way back into focus. While your efforts might centre on digestion, energy and general wellbeing, what you choose to drink plays a bigger role than you might think. Using filtered water gives your body the cleanest foundation to work from and the best chance of making those efforts count.
This is how often you should change your inline water filter cartridge
What you can’t see in your kitchen often does more work than what’s visible. No, we’re not talking about the fridge’s compressor, but the inline water filter tucked beneath the sink. It connects to your existing supply and uses a replaceable cartridge to clean water as it flows. A common question when considering one is how often the cartridge needs to be changed.
