12 Homemade Cleaners
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!! 🙂 xo
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!

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!

so many brilliant tips here, thanks so much!
My favorite homemade cleaner that I use the most is my eyeglass cleaner. If you want to clean expensive coated lenses, you just put a little bit of baby wash in distilled water and there you go ! If you are cleaning some cheap readers, you can add a little rubbing alcohol to make it work better. This is much cheaper than paying $40/gallon for store bought eyeglass cleaner.
Thanks for the interesting information – there’s nothing better than a clean, fresh, neatural house and one of the best ways of achieving this is through your carpets! As well as DIY solutions I also like to recommend oven cleaning birmingham professional companies to people because you can often surprise yourself at the price and how natural their cleaners are. Great post, thanks again.
I’m looking for a cleaner like the Amish wood cleaner they advertise on TV. I have a great deal of wood to clean and need a lot of it. I want something that is very natural and good for the wood. I have a lot a allergy issues.
For my window cleaning I use nothing but apple cider vinegar and newspaper and it works wonders.
These are awesome DIY home cleaners that will help me in cleaning my house easily. The fact that it is around my house and won’t buy anymore, and recycling the orange peel is also a great idea.

I’ve already tried homemade citrus cleaner and I’m so happy of this. Thank you for all the recipes you share, I can’t wait trying some of them right this weekend!Greets!
I have attempted the shower cleaner, Dawn and Vinegar, and it did extraordinary!!! I had taken a stab at utilizing different cleaners, some from costly organizations and none cleaned the floor in my everything white shower. I blended this and just poured it on the floor then with a touch of cleaning all the grime fell off!
You listed everything that I love to use whenever I have free time to clean. Or if I don’t have time I hire some cleaners here in Dubai to help me out but this blog article that you created is very useful.
One day my maid left the tap open when we were not at home and after a few hours we came to know of it. We immediately called SK Cleaners and they saved our expensive carpets from permanent damage. The cleaners were very supportive and helpful during the service and we are so glad to have called them at the right time. Thanks to the entire SK team.
I have tried this and it is amazing. easy to make and comes in handy when needed the most

These days you have to buy a specific cleaning product to clean every surface in your home. All too often these cleaners don’t work as they should, so you have to combine them to improve their efficacy. But traditional cleaners are loaded with harmful chemicals, and combining them can cause a harmful reaction. To eliminate the potential for danger, use homemade cleaning products instead. Most of the ingredients are items you already have in your kitchen cabinet, making it safe for you and your family. By using homemade products, you stop polluting your home, which leads your air quality to improve.
I’ve been using this Homemade Glass Cleaner for years and I love it! It’s so fast and easy to make, so frugal, and honestly works better than what I’d been using for so many years. I have to admit, I am now completely hooked on homemade glass cleaner! It leaves the windows streak-free and cleans those smudgy fingerprints. And also I’ve already tried Homemade Floor Cleaner and I’m so happy about this. In my search for something stronger, I found a recipe that mixes equal parts water, vinegar, and alcohol, with a few drops of dish soap. After testing out a small area, I was in love. I finally found something that really cleaned my floors and didn’t leave any streaks on my dark-colored wood!
Thank you for all the ideas you share, I can’t wait to try some of them these are great tips, and I am sure they work quite well.
Many homeowners are challenged when it comes to finding the right cleaning product for their home. All too often traditional cleaners are not as effective as the manufacturers claim. By creating your own cleaning products, you control the strength of each product. With homemade products, you might be able to clean your home in less time. By using homemade products, you stop polluting your home, which leads your air quality to improve.
We clean with only the best, eco-friendly products.
