Homemade Cleaner To Keep Your House Clean

Some of the items in your pantry (like baking soda and vinegar) work as effective all-purpose cleaners and, even better, cost next to nothing. So the next time you're staring down a big mess but you're out of your favorite cleaning product, don't run to the store try one mixing up one of these DIY homemade cleaners instead. These natural products will kick grime to the curb and keep your wallet happy. Cleaning products are one of the first places that Keepers of the Home look to eliminate toxins and chemicals from our households.

For me, making homemade all-natural cleaning projects was a logical first step, because I love to follow recipes, which is all that is really involved in making your own cleansers!

Ingredients

1/2 c white vinegar
2 Tbsp baking soda
10 drops tea tree, lavender, or lemon essential oil

Method

* Mix the vinegar, essential oils and a little water before adding baking soda in a clean spray bottle (glass is best).

* Then fill to top with water. I use about a 12 oz bottle.

* Gently shake to mix ingredients, and then spray, wipe with a cloth, and allow it to dry.
