Transform your home cleaning routine with these 5 natural DIY solutions. Embrace the freshness of natural ingredients while leaving your spaces sparkling clean.
Did you know that some items in your kitchen or home can also double up as highly effective DIY cleaning solutions? Here are some simple ways you can whip up homemade cleaners using everyday ingredients to leave your surfaces gleaming.
1. All-purpose cleaner
To create a scented all-purpose cleaner, combine equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Add a couple of drops of lavender or lemon essential oils for a delightful scent. You can use this spray to clean, remove simple stains or wipe away smudges on various surfaces. Lavender has anti-bacterial properties while lemon can remove grease, making this a versatile solution.
2. DIY glass cleaner
To create a DIY version of a window cleaner, add 2 cups of water to half a cup of white vinegar and a tablespoon of cornflour. You can also add a couple of drops of scented essential oil. Shake to combine the ingredients then spray onto surfaces such as glass, windows and mirrors for effective cleaning.
3. DIY oven cleaner
Baking soda and vinegar are the two ingredients to keep your oven grease-free. Mix baking soda with a little bit of water to form a thick paste. Remove the oven racks then spread the paste on the interior of the oven, taking care to avoid the heating elements. Let the paste sit for a while. Then use a mixture of water and white vinegar to spray on the dried patches. The foaming reaction will help to break down grease and residue. Wipe off gently with a damp cloth.
4. DIY bathroom cleaner
Again, baking soda is your star ingredient to form a DIY bathroom cleaner. Mix baking soda with water to form a paste, then add a few drops of tea tree oil for its antibacterial properties. This scrub is useful for tackling soap scum and grime on bathroom surfaces.
5. DIY kitchen countertop cleaner
For an easy cleaning solution for your kitchen countertop, add lemon drops to equal parts water and equal parts vinegar in a spray bottle The acidity of the lemon and the cleaning power of vinegar can cut through the grease and leave your kitchen countertop smelling fresh.
