How to Make a Natural Cleaning Kit at Home

Gather Your Supplies

You will need a spray bottle, white vinegar, water, baking soda, and a few drops of essential oils (optional, but they add a nice scent to the cleaning solution).

Mix Equal Parts

In the spray bottle, mix equal parts white vinegar and water. You can adjust the ratio depending on how strong you want the solution to be. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and will help to kill germs and bacteria. It’s also effective at cutting through grime and dirt.

Add Baking Soda

Add a teaspoon of baking soda to the mixture and shake the bottle to dissolve the baking soda. The baking soda will help to scrub away tough stains and give the cleaning solution some extra cleaning power.

Add Drops of Essential Oils

Add a few drops of essential oils, if using. Some good options for natural cleaning include tea trees, lavender, and lemon. The essential oils will add a fresh scent to the cleaning solution and can also have antibacterial properties.

Shake the Bottle

Shake the bottle to mix everything together.

Use Cleaning Solution

You should use the cleaning solution to clean surfaces in your home. The vinegar and baking soda will help to cut through grime and dirt, while the essential oils will leave a fresh scent behind.

Storing

Store the cleaning solution in the spray bottle and use it as needed. It will last for several weeks, but you can easily make a fresh batch whenever needed.

Natural Cleaning Products

In addition to the cleaning spray, there are a few other natural cleaning products that can be useful to have on hand.

Lemon Juice

Lemon juice is a natural disinfectant and can be used to clean and freshen up surfaces in your home. Simply mix equal parts lemon juice and water in a spray bottle and use it to clean countertops, floors, and other surfaces.

Baking Soda and Water Paste

Baking soda is a great natural cleaning product and can be used to scrub away tough stains and grime. Mix baking soda and water together to create a thick paste, then use it to scrub surfaces in your home.

White Vinegar and Water

As mentioned earlier, white vinegar is a natural disinfectant and can be used to clean and deodorize surfaces in your home. Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and use it to clean countertops, floors, and other surfaces.

Essential Oils

Essential oils can be added to your natural cleaning products to give them a fresh scent and can also have antibacterial properties. Some good options for natural cleaning include tea tree, lavender, and lemon essential oils.

Conclusion

Making your own natural cleaning kit is easy and can save you money in the long run. Plus, it’s better for the environment and your health, as it allows you to avoid using potentially harmful chemicals found in many store-bought cleaning products. Give it a try and see the difference it can make in your home.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own natural cleaning kit at home. Happy cleaning!
