Making your own homemade cleaners is a great idea because these products are not only good for the environment but they also help you save a few coins. They’re easy to create and all you need to do is look around your house for different things to use as ingredients. You can make homemade detergents, laundry rinse aids, air fresheners, window and glass cleaners and so much more.
The following are examples of natural cleaning products that you can make by yourself at home:
1. Basic wood cleaner
Wood looks great when properly cleaned and instead of running to the supermarket to get yourself a cleaner specifically for this, how about just grabbing some lemon, olive oil, water and some natural liquid soap to create one. All you need to do is combine all these ingredients in a bowl. The proportions can easily be found on the internet if you’re not too sure of how much to use. Take a sponge and saturate it with the mixture. You can then squeeze out any excess liquid and start cleaning.
An alternative to using lemon is using vinegar. The advantage it has over lemon is that you can make a lot of it and store in a jar to use multiple times while with lemon, you can only make as much as you need to use.
