Recipes for All-Natural Cleaning Products
There are many different recipes for all-natural cleaning products, including an all-purpose cleaner, a mold and mildew remover, a window cleaner, and a fabric softener. Here are some of the recipes you can try:
All-Purpose Cleaner
Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Add a few drops of essential oils, such as lemon or lavender, for scent. This cleaner can be used on surfaces such as countertops, floors, and bathrooms.
Window Cleaner
Mix 1/4 cup vinegar, 2 cups water, and 1/2 teaspoon dish soap in a spray bottle. This cleaner can be used on windows, mirrors, and other glass surfaces.
Mold and Mildew Remover
Mix 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup baking soda in a spray bottle. Apply it to mold and mildew and let it sit for an hour before scrubbing and rinsing. This cleaner can be used on showers, grout, and other areas prone to mold and mildew.
Fabric Softener
Mix 1 cup white vinegar and 10-20 drops of essential oils in a container. Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the rinse cycle of your washing machine for softening and odor control.
How to Use All-Natural Cleaning Products
To use all-natural cleaning products, simply spray or apply the solution to the surface you want to clean and then wipe it away with a clean cloth or sponge. For tough stains or stuck-on grime, you may need to scrub the surface with a brush or scouring pad. Always test the cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the surface before using on the entire area.
