It may be easier to use common commercial cleaners but they are loaded with toxic and polluting substances designed to make domestic life easier. Try these EASY 10 Homemade Cleaning Products that only include a few household ingredients.

Homemade Cleaning Products

I know, I know, it’s not always feasible to make EVERYthing at home! Believe me, I know. But if you make one or two things each week and make a large batch, you will have enough to last for awhile. Honestly, I find it a bit of a pain to make this stuff (Yes, you heard me!) but I do it because I feel so much better using natural products and food instead of things with weird ingredients.

All Purpose Cleaner

I love my all purpose cleaner. I use tea tree oil

in mine because it kills many bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact, including MRSA. You can add other oils like peppermint, orange or lavender in with it as well.

All Purpose Cleaner
2 cups water
2 tbsp natural dish soap
20-30 drops tea tree oil

Potpourri – It’s not exactly a cleaning product but we all need some good-smelling potpourri, right? So throw out those awful plugins and chemical sprays. You can use scraps from fruit and a few spice staples for an easy batch of potpourri and have your house smelling unbelievable.

Air Freshener – Who doesn’t have a need for air freshener every now and then? But if I told you what is actually in those aerosol cans and how they affect a person, you would probably run for the hills. Better take my word for it and make your own.

Swiffer or Mop Pads – I use a Libman Freedom Spray Mop

where you can easily add your own cleaning mixture. I usually use Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner Spray

on my wood floors, because it’s awesome and works the best. It’s eco-friendly and cleans and shines the floor without leaving any residue or streaks. Sometimes I use hot water, dish soap and tea tree oil. But having clean reusable pads are a must!
