7 Effective Cleaning Products You Can Make At Home

Last Updated on June 2, 2020

You Will Need: 300 g of lemon scraps (again, you can also use oranges if you prefer), 100 g of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of yeast, 1 liter of water, and a 2-liter plastic bottle. Instructions: pour the sugar into the plastic bottle, and then add the lemon scraps and the yeast, in this exact order. After that, add the water and shake the bottle until the sugar dissolves completely – it might take about a minute. Now comes the hard part. You will have to shake that bottle once a day with the bottle cap loosely fastened for about two weeks. That is the time it takes for the ingredients to ferment and transform into a great, all-purpose cleaner paste.

5. Shower Cleaner

Cleaning tubs, showers, and bathroom sinks can be a real nightmare if you don’t have the right cleaning product. Fortunately, you only need two ingredients to make one. You Will Need: 2 cups of white vinegar, 2 cups of dishwashing soap, and a spray bottle. Instructions: Heat the white vinegar as explained previously and pour it into the spray bottle. Add the soap, close the spray bottle, and shake it to mix the two ingredients. Spray the solution on the surfaces of your bathroom and let it sit for at least an hour before rinsing.

6. Toilet Cleaning Tabs

You have to deep clean your toilets regularly because, over time, the inside surface becomes dirty and stained. It’s inevitable. We warn you in advance that this homemade recipe is by far the most complex on this list. You Will Need: 1 cup of baking soda, ¼ cup of citric acid, ½ tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide, 30 drops of essential oil, baking sheet, and parchment paper. Instructions: Mix the baking soda and the citric acid in a bowl. Grab another container and mix the vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Now, it’s time to pour that solution into the bowl of baking soda and citric acid. Stir it well while adding about thirty drops of essential oil. Place parchment paper on top of your baking sheet and use a tablespoon to scoop up the solid mixture that you made. Let the tabs sit overnight over the parchment paper. This is necessary to make sure they are completely dry. There you go. Now you have several toilet cleaning tabs that you can store in an airtight container and use when you have to deep clean your toilets.

7. Apple Cider Vinegar Kitchen Cleaner

Did you know that apple cider vinegar can be used as a cleaner and that it is effective in eliminating many types of bacteria? That’s why it is considered a great kitchen cleaner. You Will Need: Apple cider vinegar and water (in equal parts, so let’s say 500 ml of each) and a spray bottle. Instructions: Pour the apple cider vinegar and the water inside of the spray bottle and shake it a little bit to mix the ingredients. You can use this solution to clean and (partially) disinfect things like countertops, the stove, cabinets, microwave, etc.
