DIY All Natural Cleaners

Our environment is full of so many harmful things… and even the chemicals we use to “clean” ourselves and our homes add up to incredibly toxic quantities. These DIY ingredients are cheap, clean, and so so easy to make.

DIY House Cleaner

• 2 c water

• 1.5 c white vinegar

• 10 drops essential oil (eucalyptus tree and lemon are my favorites)

• 1 glass spray bottle (plastic deteriorates and off gasses harmful chemicals)

• funnel

• cotton cloth

Add all ingredients to a spray bottle with a funnel.

Spray surfaces and wipe clean with a cotton cloth.
