Super Easy Homemade Cleaner


Okay, it doesn't get much easier or cheaper than this homemade cleaner. Here's what you do: save a glass cleaner or any other spray bottle, rinse it out and mix one cup of water and one cup of vinegar. If you want to get a little fancy, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. I have sweet orange on hand, and it smells delightful.Vinegar is a wonderful gentle cleaner and it absorbs odors instead of masking them. The vinegar smell will quickly fade and if you choose to use the essential oil in the mix, that is the smell that will remain. Use it on any smooth surface, I even use vinegar on my wood floors when they need a good clean, but that's another post!

  2. Great! Essential oils are so fun! Really, the cleaner works just the same without the oil, but the oil makes me happy!

  3. Ah, I love cleaning with vinegar, EXCEPT for the smell! This is a great idea and I just happen to have some essential oil of clove in my cupboard! Thx for the tip!

  4. I have a few places that I consistently clean by using vinegar. Among them is the microwave, drains and cuttingboards. Eliminates all the smell that can get to those places.
