DIY Homemade Natural Cleaner
If you've not switched from commercial cleaners to vinegar and water yet, it's time.
It's the one simple switch that will make your home healthier, your lungs cleaner and your wallet fatter. It's easy to create all the cleaning solutions you need with water, vinegar, and just a few other household products.
My hands-down favourite DIY cleaner is this all-purpose cleaner that I use for everything from wiping down counters to cleaning sinks and tubs to mopping the floors. I keep a spray bottle of this under my kitchen sink and my master bathroom sink.
NATURAL ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER:
Get a big jug of vinegar and keep it and a glass spray bottle on hand. Mix together:
1 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
10 drops lemon essential oil
Optional: 2-3 tsp natural dish detergent
Optional: a few drops of orange and lavender essential oils for invigorating scent.
Other ingredients that come in handy for cleaning, disinfecting and freshening around the house are various essential oils (lemon takes away those sticky messes from price tags!) and baking soda for scrubbing hard-to-clean mold or grime and removing stubborn stains.
