Non-toxic Cleaning: 12 Ways to Use Temperature Instead of Chemicals

We put a few temperature-based house cleaning methods to the test, and found most of them work. Some of these cleaning solutions are widespread urban legends. Others are from an exhaustive list of alternative cleaning methods provided by the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County, Illinois. The agency acknowledges it simply compiled the list without testing any of the methods. That’s where we come in. Here is our verdict on eight boiling and freezing cleaners, with four extra tips thrown in for good measure.

CDBurnerXP 4.3.8.2560

Everyone, even companies, can use it for free. It does not include adware or similar malicious components. CDBurnerXP is freeware but closed source because it currently uses some proprietary libraries.
