Cleaning Supplies

Sick of spraying your home down with harmful chemicals? Try these simple Do-It-Yourself options. They reduce waste, and keep your home clean without all the harmful side effects. Distilled white vinegar is my favorite ingredient for cleaning solutions, and I use it in most of my recipes. Vinegar has an extremely acidic pH that kills most common household bacteria without the need for harsher chemicals like bleach.

All-Purpose Cleaner

1 Cup water
1 Cup vinegar
Essential oils of any scent (I like to use sage, about 35 drops, but you can do more or less based on your preference)
shake and spray!
​
You can even use spray bottles from cleaners you've bought in the past! Just clean them out and use them for your very own home-made, natural cleaner.

Toilet Cleaner

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl.
Add 1/4 cup vinegar.
Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.
Use a toilet brush to scrub the bowl, then flush.
Stainless Steel Appliances

Great for streaky refrigerators, dishwashers, and more!

Spray the surface of the appliance with an all purpose cleaner (see above).
Get a cloth, and pour a small amount of olive oil onto it
Rub the olive oil cloth onto the appliance, moving with the grain.
Watch your streaks disappear, leaving behind a clean and shiny appliance!
