DIY Spring Cleaning Recipes
Spring is here! Warmer weather is coming so I always like to get my spring cleaning done early so I can enjoy being outside and not inside cleaning. If you have kids at home maybe you can even get them to help out too! Whats great about these cleaning recipes is that they are plant based but super effective so they are safe for the kids to handle. 

So you might ask why should I make my own cleaners? Most cleaners on the market are filled with toxic chemicals & synthetic fragrance. These scents are harmful to the respiratory system when inhaled. So that "clean" house smell can actually be very harmful to you and your family. These DIY cleaners are safe, non toxic and very effective. 




 Deep Cleaning Scrub Recipe
1/2 cup baking soda
1 TBSP unscented liquid Castile soap (I like Dr. Bonner's)
4 drops Purification essential oil
4 drops Lemon essential oil
Air tight glass jar


Add ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir well. It will have the consistency of frosting. Use to clean sinks, get soap scum off showers and bath tubs, clean grout, great for stainless steel cookware too!

DIY Wood Polish
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup white vinegar
15 drops Lemon essential oil
8 oz. or larger spray bottle

Add all ingredients to the spray bottle and shake well to mix. 
Use on wood furniture to give it a beautiful shine. 
*Tip make you kitchen cabinets shine. Use a little of the deep cleaning scrub to remove any grime on cabinets then polish them to a shine with the wood polish. My kitchen cabinets have seen better days but I am always amazed how great they look after a good polish with this recipe.  


Cleaning Tips!
Next time you clean and wash your vacuum filters add a few drops of Thieves or Purification essential oil to the filter. When you vacuum next time you will have an aromatherapy experience all while cleaning the air in your home. 
Is your carpet stinky? Before you vacuum add 10-15 drops of Purification essential oil to 1 cup of baking soda. Mix and shake over carpets. Let sit for an hour and vacuum it up and smells will be gone. 



DIY Glass and Window Cleaner
3 cups distilled water
1 tsp white vinegar
10- 15 drops Lemon essential oil
24 oz. or larger spray bottle


Add all ingredients to  a spray bottle (I get those really big ones from the $ store). Shake well to mix and use to clean windows & mirrors. I Like to use a microfiber cloth so I can really get the windows shiny. Works great on the outside of the windows too. 


Mold & Mildew Cleaner
3/4 cup white vinegar
8 oz. spray bottle

Add all ingredients to a spray bottle and shake well. This works amazing on the walls in my bathroom. From time to time we get mold on the walls and ceiling above the shower and this takes care of it very well.
