1. Homemade Clorox Wipes
Disinfecting wipes are expensive, contain dangerous chemicals, don’t last long, and are disposable, which means that they create too much waste. In health care facilities, these wipes are essential. But to disinfect a couple of surfaces around your house, there are much cheaper and environmentally-friendly options. Such as making your own disinfecting wipes! Here’s how you can do it:
You Will Need: 2 cups of rubbing alcohol (70% or higher), 1 tablespoon of dishwasher soap, 20 drops of essential oils(choose one that eliminates odors and freshens the air), rags, and a mason jar.
Instructions: put the alcohol, soap, and essential oils inside the jar. Close the lid and shake the jar until all the ingredients are properly mixed. Open the jar and place the rags inside. Make sure all the rags are completely soaked (if necessary, turn the jar upside down to help the solution reach all the rags). That’s it. Now you have several reusable cleaning wipes!
2. Citrus Cleaner
Citrus is an excellent degreaser and a fantastic natural cleaner. You can create a citrus spray by following these easy steps:
You Will Need: 2 cups of warm water, 2 tablespoons of baking soda, 2 tablespoons of soap, 20 drops of lemon essential oil, and a spray bottle.
Instructions: just mix all the ingredients inside the spray bottle and spray the solution directly over greasy surfaces. Afterward, use a damp microfiber cloth to clean all the grease and a dry one to make it look as good as new.
3. Vinegar Cleaning Solution
White vinegar is an all-natural cleaner that many people already use in their house cleaning routine. Many others don’t use it simply because they hate having the acidic smell of vinegar hovering in the rooms of their houses. For those, here’s a recipe of a scented vinegar cleaning solution:
You Will Need: white vinegar, a mason jar, a spray bottle, and lemon peels (you can also use oranges if you prefer).
Instructions: cut the peels into small chunks and place them inside the mason jar. Heat the vinegar (just enough to fill the mason jar) in a saucepan or the microwave, and once it is hot, pour it in the jar. Let it sit for 24 hours. Finally, grab a spray bottle and pour the vinegar into it with the help of a sieve to strain out the peels. Now you have a white vinegar natural cleaning product with a very pleasing scent.
4. All-Round Enzyme Cleaner
Enzyme cleaners are excellent cleaning products that you can use almost anywhere from kitchen cabinets to floors, or even to wash your car. The only downside is that the home manufacturing process takes quite some time.
