Reading Time: 2 minutes

I’ve made a few homemade cleaners before landing upon this one, and I LOVE it! I hope you do too. It’s super-easy and quick to make, and you probably have all the ingredients you need.

It’s not messy with baking soda and not smelly with vinegar. It smells so clean and fresh. It’s safe for pets and kids; it cleans glass, mirrors, toilets, kitchen, stove top, vehicle, etc.

Stop collecting more and more cleaners because you only need this one for your whole house to feel clean and smell great! Trust me, it’s awesome!

Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner (My Favorite!)

Recently, I was washing dishes and I noticed there were dried up grits under the gas grill from breakfast. I sprayed it with the cleaner and went back to washing dishes for a few minutes. I then wiped the crusty grits with the dish towel, and it came right off.

Video & Recipe Below, and more details about the ingredients and where to find the glass bottles (below the recipe).

Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner (My Favorite!)

Why I recommend glass over plastic:

    • Essential oils tend to slowly eat through plastic if left too long
    • Plastic is more porous and doesn’t keep the quality of the cleaner as long
    • Glass keeps everything in tact and fresh! I’m not just saying that (I’ve totally noticed a difference)

Where to find Glass bottles:

16 oz glass bottles on Grove Collaborative website, (Get a Free gift with this link ^)

16 oz glass bottles on Amazon
Get one for yourself and one as a gift 🙂

8 oz glass bottles on Amazon

Seventh Generation Dish Liquid

I love scent-free dish soap because it doesn’t make your dishes smell or taste like a scent. Yuck.

A little About Grove Collaborative + Free Gift:

I’ve been using Grove for about 2 years now to get all my non-toxic products like bath soap, toothpaste, dish soap, face wash, organic feminine products, etc. They’re a Certified B Corporation (which is a company that meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose).

If you sign up for their VIP membership, you get free shipping, and free gifts all year. So far, I’ve gotten free dish soap starter kit, face scrub, face masks, metal cleaning caddy, bamboo chopping board, kitchen towels (nice & thick *not that cheap stuff*), and maybe some other things I can’t remember.
