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!
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).
Ingredients
- 16 oz Water
- 2 TBsp Rubbing Alcohol
- 2 TBsp non-Toxic Dish Liquid
- 8 drops Essential Oil
Instructions
- Fill bottle with water with at least 1/4 cup headspace
- Add alcohol, dish liquid, and essential oil
- Shake gently
Notes
*For more degreasing power, add more dish liquid.
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)

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