I’m kind of a clean freak. Clutter and dirt drives me nuts. Clutter and dirt can be piling up in someone else’s house and it wouldn’t bother me at all but in my house it is a completely different story. I used to spend tons of money on household cleaners filled with chemicals. YUCK. Now I make my own DIY All Natural Kitchen Cleaner. Not only is it chemical free but it smells amazing too!
Here is what you need to make your own All Natural Kitchen Cleaner
DIY All Natural Kitchen Cleaner
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- equal parts white vinegar and water
- 2-3 drops lemon essential oils
- spray bottle
Instructions
-
Place the baking soda into the spray bottle.
-
Alternate adding vinegar and water in equal amounts until the spray bottle is full.
-
Add 2-3 drops lemon essential oil
If you want it to smell more lemon-y (That’s a word, right?) Just add more essential oil. This cleaner works on pretty much every surface in your home. I use it mainly to clean my kitchen and bathroom counters. I also use it to wipe down my kitchen table, to clean the outside (and inside) of my fridge and to clean my shower doors. I haven’t bought a chemical based household cleaner in years.
