Here is a list of DIY cleaning recipes we have tried and tested. Bonus! You can get these cute glass spray bottles to store your natural cleaning solutions in, for under $15.

Lemon all purpose cleaner

You can use this in your bathroom, kitchen, dining room or really wherever needed. As the title states, it is all-purpose.

Ingredients:

• One part white vinegar
• One part Water
• The skin of one lemon
• Rosemary (or any other herb you have, lavender could be nice too)

Combine all the ingredients and place in a reusable spray bottle of your choice. Then let the lemon rind infuse, you can do this for however long you want really, the longer you let it infuse the more lemony it’s going to smell, the source we found this from suggests a week but we only did it for two days. 

This mixture will help remove hard stains and smudges, and not only does it smell great, the lemon actually boosts its cleaning power.

Caution: do not use on granite surfaces as it can cause corrosion.

Olive Oil Homemade Furniture Polish 

The perfect concoction to keep your wooden pieces looking like new.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of white vinegar
• 1 tsp of lemon juice

Add your olive oil and vinegar to a repurposed bottle, and then squeeze half a lemon into the bottle. Always shake the bottle before using, and use a soft cloth to apply. Always store in the fridge.
