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!

  1. 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.

    1. We are struggling to find them here too, so I thought this was a good time to post all of this 🙂

  2. 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.

  3. This is right up my alley! Thank you so much for the information. I love natural and keeping my family safe and healthy!

  4. 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!
