Here’s how you can make healthy, inexpensive cleaning products that work great and will help you improve the vibe in your home.
There’s no reason to buy ready-made kitchen cleaner, bathroom cleaner, floor cleaner, glass cleaner, or scrub cleaner.
Why? Because the cleaners in this post are so effective, healthy, and easy to make.
What’s more:
- Once you make the initial investment in the ingredients, these natural cleaners end up costing you a tiny fraction of the price of store-bought cleaners.
- These homemade cleaners help minimize your carbon footprint.
- And, because water is the #1 ingredient in 4 out of 5 of them, they majorly reduce the schlepping factor.
I’ve been using these simple cleaning products for years, and I love them.
