» All-Purpose Cleaner

Basic Version: Fill a spray bottle halfway with water, add equal parts of white vinegar, and include a few drops of essential oils like tea tree or lavender for added antimicrobial properties and a pleasant scent.

Enhanced Version: Our signature Ultimate All-Purpose Cleaner is versatile enough for nearly every surface in your home. Originally created as a floor cleaner, it now serves as the go-to solution for countertops, stovetops, sinks, appliances, and even stainless steel surfaces.

Usage Tips: For extra scrubbing power, sprinkle baking soda on surfaces before spraying the cleaner to boost cleaning effectiveness. Avoid using on marble or granite, as the acidity from vinegar can cause etching. For those surfaces, opt for the specialized granite cleaner below.

» Granite & Stone Surface Cleaner

While the all-purpose vinegar solution isn’t suitable for natural stone, this homemade granite cleaner provides a gentle yet effective alternative that preserves your beautiful countertops and prevents damage over time.

» Disinfecting Spray

After cleaning, spritz surfaces with this disinfectant for an added layer of protection. Perfect for bathrooms and kitchens, it’s a natural alternative to bleach and other harsh disinfectants. Just spray and allow air drying for best results.

» Scouring Scrub

Mix together:

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup castile soap
  • 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide

Stir until you achieve a creamy paste. Use a scrub brush to apply, then rinse thoroughly. Ideal for bathtubs, sinks, and stubborn stains.

» Scouring Powder

Combine baking soda and salt in a container, such as an old spice jar. For additional cleaning power, add a few drops of essential oils or a touch of borax. Use on surfaces like sinks, tubs, and tile to achieve a sparkling clean.

» Toilet Bowl Cleaner

  1. Spray the toilet bowl interior, seat, and lid with your all-purpose cleaner and let sit for a few minutes.
  2. Sprinkle baking soda into the bowl, scrub with a toilet brush, then flush.
  3. Wipe down the seat and lid with a damp cloth.
  4. Finish by spraying with peroxide for disinfection. Voila! Clean and fresh.

» Glass Cleaner

Basic Version: Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle.

Better Version: Use a blend of 3 parts water to 1 part rubbing alcohol for a streak-free shine.

Best Results: For the ultimate glass cleaning, use our all-purpose cleaner and wipe with a microfiber cloth to achieve crystal-clear surfaces.

» Reusable Cleaning Wipes

Instead of disposable wipes, make your own reusable versions. Use soft cloths or towels, soak in homemade cleaning solution, and store in a sealed container. These wipes are eco-friendly and cost-effective.

» Drain Cleaner

Pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup vinegar. Cover the drain to contain the bubbling reaction. Wait 5-10 minutes, then flush with very hot water. Finish with cold water to clear residue.

» Carpet Cleaner

For natural stain removal, try homemade solutions like baking soda and vinegar sprays, or use commercial natural carpet cleaning products. Check our detailed guides for tips on removing stubborn stains safely.

» Dishwasher Detergent & Rinse Aid

Combine:

  • 1 cup borax
  • 1 cup washing soda
  • 1/4 cup citric acid
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt

Use 1-2 tablespoons per load in your dishwasher’s detergent compartment. For a shiny, spot-free finish, add vinegar to the rinse aid compartment.
