My Favorite All-Natural DIY Cleaners & Soaps!

Floor cleaner:

1/4 cup distilled white vinegar

2 cups water

10 drops tea tree oil

5 drops spearmint

All Purpose cleaner:

1/4 cup distilled white vinegar

2 cups water

5 drops orange oil

5 drops spearmint oil

10 drops tea tree oil

Furniture polish:

3:1 ratio olive oil and distilled white vinegar

5-10 drops of orange oil

Glass cleaner:

2 cups water

2 cups rubbing alcohol

2 tbsp distilled white vinegar

2 drops tea tree oil

2 drops spearmint oil

Hand soap:

8oz bar of Bonners essential oil soap shaved (that way you don't have to add essentail oils they are already in the soap, its less expensive)

2 tbsp vegetable glycerine

1 gallon water

*if the solution is too thin add 3 tbsp of table salt and 8 oz of water

*if the solution is too thick add a bit more glycerine and water

Liquide Laundry detergent:

1/2 bar of fels naptha-shaved

2 cups water, dissolve.

1/2 cup borax

1/3 cup washing soda

desired essential oils (opt)

Add fels naptha to water and let dissolve.  Add borax and washing soda.  Pour into a large container and let sit over night.  Then add water, shake, and voila!  I use a 1.75 gallon container.  At this time you may also add your essential oils which are completely optional.  I find that the soap smells great just as it is.

Laundry Powder
1cup Borax
1cup washing soda
1/2cup fels naptha-shaved or Bonners essential soap bar-shaved

These are all very easy and inexpensive recipes, and I have loved using all of them. You can choose to use other essential oils other than the tea tree; that is for disinfectant purposes. The reason I chose spearmint and orange oil is because they are not very expensive and they give a clean crisp scent - nothing too overpowering.  Leave a comment below and let me know your favorite all natural homemade cleaning recipes.  I am always up for trying new things!  Thanks, hope you enjoy.

*Also a tip for dusting, whipe off with your glass cleaner then go back over with used dryer sheets to repeal the dust particles longer.
