Simple Non-Toxic Cleaner Recipes to Clean the Whole House

April 1, 2013 by vleeson Leave a Comment

Floors: A simple floor cleaner is made by adding 2 to 4 tablespoons of Castile soap and 10 drops of lemon essential oil to a large container. Fill with 1 gallon of hot water and stir to mix. If the floor is greasy, add up to 1/8 cup of vinegar. 

 

Walls and Counter Tops: The above floor cleaner will work well on walls and counter tops too. If you wish to disinfect, mix equal parts vinegar and water. Add 5 to 10 drops of essential oil, per 16 oz of mixture, if desired.

 

Mirrors: Mirrors can be cleaned well with water and a microfiber cloth. If you are looking for more shine (and germ killing power), combine 1 ½ cups of water with ½ cup of vinegar in a spray bottle and shake to mix. Add 5 to 10 drops of orange or lemon essential oil for extra cleaning power and added fragrance.

 

Toilets: Pouring a little straight or scented vinegar into the toilet bowl is a great way to clean and deodorize. For regular toilet seat wipe downs, keep some vinegar in a spray bottle. Sprinkling baking soda into the bowl and
scrubbing with a sturdy toilet brush is another good way to keep the toilet clean and fresh.

 

Bath and Shower: The best way to keep the shower clean is to regularly spray the walls with vinegar, this helps prevent soap and scum from building up. It is always a good idea to label your homemade cleaners. Writing the recipe on the container also helps make refills a breeze.

 

NOTE for Essential Oils: These concentrated plant oils contain powerful anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-biotic and
anti-fungal properties. While they can sometimes be expensive, one small bottle will last a long time. They add a lovely fragrance to your homemade cleaners, which provides psychological benefits too!

 

Favorite essential oils for cleaning are: Lemon, orange, peppermint, lavender, andtea tree.
