Natural Cleaning Recipes

Why spend a fortune on cleaning products that are made with toxic chemicals when you can make your own natural cleaner using a few simple ingredients.  Combined in various ways, common household items like lemons and white vinegar work just as well as the most expensive cleaning products on the market.

Today I want to share with you two natural cleaning recipes that I use in my own home. Plus a free natural cleaning recipe printable and printable labels for your bottles. I hope you will try these natural cleaners and end up loving them as much as I do!

NATURAL CLEANING INGREDIENTS:

White Vinegar

Fresh Lemon Juice or Bottled 

Lavender essential oil or you can use lemon or orange essential oil

Olive oil or grapeseed oil

My most used cleaner is an all-purpose cleaner, great for all kinds of hard surfaces.  I use it to clean my kitchen countertop, kitchen, and bathroom sinks, and the glass shelves in my refrigerator. This natural cleaner is also good for cleaning windows and spot cleaning floors.

ALL PURPOSE CLEANER RECIPE

One part white vinegar to one part lemon juice ( I use 1/2 cup vinegar to 1/2 cup lemon juice)

5-10 drops of essential oil

Mix and store in a clean spray bottle

Start by squeezing the lemons.  You can squeeze a bunch and store the juice for when you make another batch of cleaner.  Or you can purchase bottled lemon juice, this way you will always have it on hand. Just make sure it is pure lemon juice.  Amazon has a really good selection.

Pour the squeezed lemon juice in a measuring cup using a colander to strain the pulp.

Pour a 1/2 a cup of the lemon juice and 1/2 a cup of white vinegar into a clean spray bottle.

Add about 5-10 drops of the lavender oil

Shake the spray bottle to mix the ingredients.


Now grab a sponge and make your home sparkle.

FURNITURE POLISH RECIPE
