DIY Natural General Cleaning

Window Cleaner

16 oz distilled water

2 oz hydrogen peroxide (3%)

1-2 drops of liquid castile soap

When you spray this on a mirror and wipe with a cloth it will seem like it’s going to streak. Just walk away and let it dry and voila, it’s spotless! If you really feel the need to watch it dry, it’s worth the slow but exciting!

Linen Spray

1 cup distilled water

10 drops Lavender oil

10 drops Peppermint oil

1 drop Tea Tree oil

Spray on pillows, bed, couch and curtains to freshen the room.

All-Purpose Spray & Floor Spot Cleaner

2 c. distilled water

3/4 c. hydrogen peroxide

1/2 c. distilled white vinegar

1 t. castile soap

½ t. washing soda

20 drops Tea Tree oil

20 drops of Lavender oil     

Drain Cleaner/Mop Water Bomb

1 c. Baking soda

1 c. Borax

1 c. Washing Soda

Mop Bomb Directions: 

Add 1 cup vinegar to mop bucket water and 1/2 cup mop bomb powder and watch it sud! Mop the floors and feel the clean.

Drain Cleaning Directions: 

Pack 1/2 cup to 1 cup of the drain cleaning powder into the drain in question. Let sit for 5-10 minutes. Pour equal parts vinegar and water over the drain and watch the bubbling unclog the drain.

Spicy Air Freshener

3 c. Water

6 Cinnamon Sticks

2 T. Whole Cloves

2 T. Fennel Seeds

Boil all in clean pot, let cool and put into spray bottles. Spray everywhere! Be careful with delicate white curtains (it is a burnt orange/brown color) and don't get it into your eye as cinnamon and clove can sting a bit. I bet this might be a great breath freshener too!
