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!
