67+ Homemade, All-Natural Cleaning Recipes

Clean anything in your home with this giant list of DIY homemade, all-natural cleaning recipes! This is the fresh and fun way to enjoy a healthier home…and maybe even enjoy cleaning a little more, too!

After my first child was born, I started making  my own homemade, all-natural cleaning products.

My purpose in making homemade, all-natural cleaners is two-fold:

1. It saves me money.

2. I can control the ingredients, which allows me to eliminate the toxins found in the majority of store-bought household cleaners.

I started out with a basic vinegar-water, all-purpose cleaner, which is incredibly easy to put together and only pennies to make! It is still one of my favorites.

A few weeks ago I chatted with Jenny from Southern Savers about making homemade, all-natural cleaners. I had to laugh at the thought of an entire podcast of me talking about making cleaners at home, when it really is so incredibly easy!

If you are planning on making your own cleaners, I recommend you go ahead and purchase some of the basic ingredients you will need for many of these recipes.

8 Homemade Cleaner Ingredients to Stock in Your Home:

• white vinegar (check out these 30+ ways to use white vinegar)
• baking soda (here are 3 reasons homemakers love baking soda!)
• lemon juice
• hydrogen peroxide
• rubbing alcohol
• washing soda (I use washing soda for SO much!)
• Castile soap (you can buy a big bottle on Amazon)
• and a few essential oils

Now that you have these basic household cleaning ingredients, here’s what you can do with them!
