How to make your own homemade bathroom cleaner

We all want a clean, fresh-smelling bathroom. But did you know you can achieve this without resorting to harsh chemical cleaners? Making a homemade bathroom cleaner is both effective and safer for your family and the environment.

The benefits of DIY bathroom cleaners

  • It's safer: Commercial cleaners often contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful. A homemade cleaner uses natural ingredients that are less likely to cause irritation.

  • It's cost-effective: You can save money by making your own cleaner using ingredients you probably already have at home.

  • It's eco-friendly: By using a DIY bathroom cleaner, you're reducing the number of plastic bottles that end up in landfills.

DIY bathroom cleaner recipe

  • 1 cup white vinegar

  • 1 cup water

  • 1/2 cup baking soda

  • 10 drops of tea tree essential oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the vinegar and water in a spray bottle.

  2. Add the baking soda and shake well until dissolved.

  3. If desired, add the tea tree oil for extra disinfecting power and a fresh scent.

  4. Spray on surfaces and wipe clean with a cloth.

Tips for using your DIY bathroom cleaner

Remember to shake the cleaner before each use, as the ingredients can settle. Always test a small area first to ensure the cleaner doesn’t discolor or damage the surface.

Embrace the homemade bathroom cleaner revolution

Switching to a homemade bathroom cleaner is a small change that can make a big difference. It's better for your health, your wallet, and the planet. Give it a try and see the results for yourself!
