Want a break from
today’s toxic overload? Then you should consider making your own homemade
cleaners. Most modern cleaning products are based on formulas passed down
through generations. These original formulas used natural ingredients
that offered little, if any, danger or toxicity to the user. Going
back to the original naturally derived ingredients is a way to make cleaning
products that work, don’t pollute and save you money. Most ingredients are simple,
inexpensive and easy to find. Best of all, making homemade cleaners cost
about 1/10th the price of the ones in the grocery store, and you can control
the strength and scent of your homemade products.
Basic supplies
include: baking soda, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, washing soda (can be
found near laundry detergent in most stores), borax (also in laundry section),
mild dish detergent, and essential oils for scent (optional). You can
save empty milk jugs for making your homemade cleaners in order to store large
quantities that you can decant into smaller bottles or spray bottles, which can
be purchased in most stores.
After
experimenting with a number of recipes and finding the ones that suit you and
your cleaning needs the best, I think you will agree that making homemade
cleaners is easy and fun!
