    But what is the problem, that everyone should understand, that these homemade cleaners do not implement their main task- to kill bacteria 🙂 For that reason I would not save on things that can be harmful for my health and I would better buy detergents.

    Reiniger für Badezimmer
    🙂 It cleans good and it is not harmful for you, moreover it costs not so much 🙂
