Over the past couple of years, I’ve been making an increased effort to eliminate harsh chemicals and harmful synthetics from my life — whether that’s through avoiding processed food or switching to a more natural cleaner and supplies.
Personally, I think any steps you take to better yourself and your family should be applauded — perfection shouldn’t be the goal (because at that point, everyone would fail), but slowly inching towards cleaner and healthier living as you are able. This year, we have been phasing out our cleaning products and opting for either a DIY natural cleaner or other more clean brands.
Thankfully, this recipe is super easy, and it’s SO much less expensive than regular cleaners at the grocery store. For more recipes and home recommendations, check out our other posts here.
In case you’re in need of a reusable spray bottle that isn’t plastic, I’m crazy about these amber glass spray bottles we got from Amazon:
DIY Natural All-Purpose Cleaner
Equipment
- 16 oz. spray bottle
- Small funnel
Materials
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1.5 cups water
- 8-10 drops essential oil of your choice (lemon, lavender, peppermint, etc.)
Instructions
- Pour the white vinegar into the spray bottle through funnel
- Add water
- Add 8-10 drops of the essential oil of your choice
- Cover and shake
Notes
We decided to add lemon to our spray bottle, and it definitely helps mask that vinegar smell if you’re not a fan of that. Leave a comment down below if you have any additional tips or favorite oils to add for your all purpose cleaner.
Much love,
Jenn
