DIY Natural Cleaning Solutions

Making your own cleaning products is easier than you might think, and it’s a great way to reduce chemicals in your home while saving money.

Why Go Natural?

Commercial cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals that can irritate skin and lungs. Natural alternatives are gentler on your family and the environment.

All-Purpose Cleaner Recipe

Mix these ingredients in a spray bottle:

• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 10-15 drops of essential oil (lemon or lavender work great)

This simple mixture works wonders on countertops, glass, and most surfaces. The vinegar cuts through grease while the essential oils add a pleasant scent and extra antibacterial properties.

More Ideas to Try

• Baking soda paste for scrubbing sinks
• Castile soap diluted in water for floors
• Lemon juice for removing hard water stains

Start small and experiment to find what works best for your home!
