How to Apply This
- Gather your basic cleaning ingredients.
There are only five main ingredients for homemade cleaning: water, white vinegar, baking soda, castile soap or a natural dish soap, and hydrogen peroxide. These common household items form the base for a range of cleaning mixtures. - Craft a multi-use cleaning spray.
In a glass spray bottle, combine 1 1/4 cups of water, 1/2 cup of white vinegar, and 10 drops of your chosen essential oils. This concoction is suitable for most surfaces and infuses your cleaning process with a fresh scent. - Formulate a strong disinfectant solution.
In a glass spray bottle, mix together 1 1/4 cups of water, 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of vodka or rubbing alcohol, and 15 drops of essential oils. Apply to surfaces, wait for 10 minutes, then wipe off for a sanitized surface. - Prepare a soft scrub for sinks.
Mix 2 cups of baking soda with 20 drops of essential oils in a container with a lid or a shaker top. Sprinkle this mixture onto a wet sink, add a small amount of dish soap, scrub, and rinse for a gleaming finish. - Make a safe cleaner for stone surfaces.
In a glass spray bottle, blend 3 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol, 1 1/2 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of castile or dish soap. This formula is specifically designed to clean marble and granite surfaces gently. - Create a solution for streak-free glass and mirrors.
Combine 1 1/2 cups of water, 1 1/2 tablespoons of white vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol, and 3 drops of essential oils in a spray bottle. Use this solution with a microfiber cloth for cleaning glass and mirrors without leaving streaks. - Label and organize your homemade cleaners.
Store your DIY cleaning solutions in glass bottles with clear labels to prevent any mix-ups and to preserve their potency. Always shake the bottles before use to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
