1. All-Purpose Cleaner
Use a funnel to mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. For a fresh scent, add a few drops of your favourite essential oil. This homemade disinfectant can be used to clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces including countertops, sinks, and toilets.
2. Drain cleaner
Mix 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar. Pour this down the drain and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse the drain with hot water and repeat as necessary.
3. Air freshener
Mix 1 cup water with 10-15 drops of essential oil in a spray bottle. Shake well and use it as a natural air freshener.
4. Tips
- Always clearly label your cleaning products and store them out of reach of children and pets.
- Use caution, mixing in certain household ingredients like bleach can produce harmful gases.
- Test homemade cleaning products on a small area first to make sure they won't damage surfaces.
- Save money and reduce waste by opting for reusable spray bottles and cleaning cloths.
