Making your own non-toxic kitchen cleaner is insanely simple! You only need 3-4 ingredients which you probably (maybe?) already have in your pantry! Since the main ingredient is vinegar, it is important to note that vinegar shouldn’t be used on all surfaces, especially porous stone. Be sure to check how vinegar reacts with your specific counter tops.
Ingredients:
- 2 Parts White Vinegar
- 1 Part Water
- 1-3 Citrus Peels
*And Or*
- 15-20 Drops of
Essential Oil
- Indulge your inner mad scientist by choosing your own unique combination of scents!
- Popular choices are: Orange, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Grapefruit, Peppermint and Lavender
Process (if using citrus peels):
- Mix vinegar, water and citrus peels into a glass jar
- Let sit for 2-3 weeks in a dry, dark place to allow the citrus oil to seep into the mixture
- Strain liquid into a reusable chemical spraying bottle
- That’s it! Time to clean!
Process (if using essential oils):
Simply mix all ingredients into your chemical spraying bottle and shake!
Enjoy your clean, non-toxic kitchen!!
