Cleaning without chemicals can have many benefits which include less chance of aggravating allergies and it is very budget-friendly! Whipping up some good smelling and effective chemical-free cleaning products is easy peasy! Check out these great chemical-free cleaning product recipes to get a start on your Spring cleaning!
FLOOR CLEANER
Combine the following ingredients into a spray bottle:
2 cups warm water
2 drops Castile soap
3 drops lemon or orange essential oils
2 drops tea tree oil
Spray & Mop! Easy Peasy!
FURNITURE POLISH
Mix 2 parts white distilled vinegar, 2 parts olive oil, 1 part lemon juice. Lightly dip corner of clean microfiber cloth into mixture and rub into your wood surfaces.
GLASS CLEANER
Combine 2/3 cup distilled water, ½ cup white distilled vinegar, and 8 drops of lemongrass essential oils into glass spray bottle. Spray and wipe with paper towels or clean microfiber cloth.
If you don’t use essential oils, you can mix 50% water and 50% white vinegar in spray bottle.
ALL PURPOSE CLEANER
Combine into a glass spray bottle:
2 cups distilled water
¼ cup castile soap
15 drops of lavender, peppermint, or orange essential oil (or combination of those—personally I love the mix of all 3)
NATURAL ROOM FRESHENER
Put 2-3 TBS of baking soda in a coffee filter and add 5-8 drops of your favorite essential oils. I prefer lavender and peppermint or lavender and citrus scents. Secure the coffee filter with a rubber band and place this little “sachet” in various inconspicuous places around your house. I put them in corner of my bedroom, bottom of a trashcan, or in clothing drawers. This is a great and simple deodorizer for your home!

I love the checklist. That way I don’t forget anything.
I just started my my spring cleaning so this is exactly what I need! There’s no cleaners to buy where i live but I prefer to make my own anyways. I really these recipes because they are simple and straightforward, i can’t wait to try them out.
We are struggling to find them here too, so I thought this was a good time to post all of this
Great ideas! I can’t wait to try each one, starting with the all purpose cleaner.
I am glad they will help!
Thanks for the recipes! They will help a lot.
Thanks for the recipes for cleaning without chemicals. I love learning new ways to upkeep my home especially those which have essential oils. I like making new combinations and I create a spray that keeps influenza at bay.
Thank you so much! These are all great especially in these times!
This is right up my alley! Thank you so much for the information. I love natural and keeping my family safe and healthy!
I love using non-chemical products. These look great! And thanks for the checklist!
Very useful info! I always prefer ‘natural’ cleaning products/solutions when possible, as opposed to harsh chemicals. I generally use 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water + steam mop on my kitchen floor, and it works 10x better than any all-purpose cleaner I’ve ever tried. I’m going to experiment with your furniture polish recipe – I don’t buy furniture polish, but I’ve never tried a DIY version, either!
