A year or so ago, I went through our house and got rid of all toxic, un-natural cleaners. It was quite liberating. Now we use vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, natural {store-bought} laundry cleaner and Biokleen. Most cleaners can be homemade which is incredibly budget-friendly as well as being healthy for your body…and the environment.
I’ve been researching how to make a different homemade cleaners and I’m really excited to share several that I can’t wait to try!

I am SO going to try the homemade glass cleaner!! Traditional cleaning products’ fumes tend to bother me, but so many homemade versions of cleaning products don’t work {ones I have tried}. However, I’ve never seen THIS recipe for glass cleaner. It looks like it would actually work because of the dish soap in it.
I have tried vinegar water as an “all purpose” cleaner before, and it was basically like using plain water – took a LOT of elbow grease without the same results as regular cleaner. Homemade Laundry Detergent and our laundry do not get along well – not sure if it’s our water or the make-up of our body oils.
I hope at least some of these are a great success for you.

Thanks for sharing these. Some of these do still use ingredients with chemicals, (dish detergent Dawn) I was making my own for a while too, but found Melaleuca and haven’t been happier with their products, not to mention the extra time I have because I’m not making products!!
True, Jennifer. I think Dawn is very mild considering. I was once a member of Melaleuca, but couldn’t keep up with ordering the required amount of stuff each month. It got pricey for us.
Dawn is pretty mild. I am on a pretty strict budget, and I had no problem switching stores to Melaleuca. We reach our monthly points with just our vitamins though!
I completely understand! I’m so glad you’re doing what works for you and your family!!

I have tried the shower cleaner, Dawn and Vinegar, and it did great!!! I had tried using other cleaners, some from expensive companies and none cleaned the floor in my all-white shower. I mixed this and just poured it on the floor (didn’t have a spray bottle) then with a little scrubbing all the grime came off! I rinsed and saw a beautiful white floor! Yeah!!!
WOOHOO! That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
Sweet! Thanks for featuring my homemade floor cleaner, Myra! I’ve shared this on my FB page and am adding your button to the post. You’ve rounded up a great list here!
Thanks again!

I’ve used the homemade shower cleaner from simple organized living for the last 6 months and I’m always amazed at how well it works! My bottle just lives in the shower for a quick clean.

Hey Myra! Thank you so much for linking up to my blog on this post! What a blessing it is to be shared by fellow bloggers!
Liking your FB page so I can keep up with your new posts!
I use the mixture of vinegar and baking soda on my clogged sinks and it does wonders! Thanks for posting all these great tips.
Thanks for including the granite cleaner, dear Myra!!
I love making our own homemade cleaners too! I’m glad you posted about the homemade oven cleaner because I need to try it. I’ve tried a couple homemade methods and they haven’t worked, and since my oven is in need of cleaning, I’ll be trying this soon!
