“Making your own cleaners at home is simple, more cost-effective and also great for the environment,” says Shanika McCloud, founder of Greenplicity. Here is one of McCloud’s favorite recipes to replace expensive, chemical-based, all-purpose cleaners:
In a spray bottle, combine 1 cup of warm water and 1 cup of white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, along with 2 teaspoons of Castile soap. Add 10 to 20 drops of essential oils of your choice. Replace the cap and shake vigorously.
Use as you would any other all-purpose cleaner for wood, glass, stainless steel and porcelain. Wipe with a microfiber cloth or paper towel. If you are unsure of how a particular surface will react to the cleanser, test on a small area first.
