You can save money and have fewer chemicals in your house by making your own bathroom cleaners. Here are some of my favorites:
- Homemade Tile and grout cleaner
1/2 cup baking soda
1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide
1 teaspoon liquid dish soap
Mix together and use with a soft sponge for cleaning tile and grout
- All purpose cleaner
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon Borax
1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide
2 cups hot water
Juice of one lemon
Sprig of rosemary (optional if you like the smell of rosemary as much as I do!)
Mix all together and stir mixture until all the borax is dissolved.
- Toilet bowl cleaner
Sprinkle baking soda into the bowl
Then pour undiluted vinegar into the bowl
Let sit for as long as possible (a couple of hours or overnight) then scrub.
Disinfect by spraying hydrogen peroxide around bowl and seat
- Air Freshener
1/2 cup baking soda
Essential oil
Jar
Mix 10-12 drops of your favorite essential oil with the baking soda and place in a jar in your bathroom.
