A while ago I decided not to use harsh chemicals and toxic cleaning solutions from the stores any more. They're so unhealthy when you inhale them and could be a serious danger to your children. Plus they are so bad for the environment. Making your own solutions is so much cheaper too!
I've tried some great recipes. All you need is a simple spray bottle and a few simple ingredients.
White vinegar is a natural deodorizer, absorbing odors instead of covering them up. (and no, your bathroom won't smell like a salad. The aroma disappears when dry.)
It's also a great substitute for fabric softener!
Homemade spray cleaner recipe:
1 cup of water
1 cup of white vinegar
Yes, it's that simple!
Baking Soda is a great deodorizer too. Just add 2 teaspoons baking soda to a spray bottle with water and you can clean pretty much anything with it.
Add a few drop of lemon juice and it smells nice and clean too. Or a few drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil.
And the fun part is my kids can help me clean! They get some water and lemon juice in a spray bottle and can clean along with me! Perfect! No toxic fumes or irritating solutions!
Spring clean away!
