Make Your Own Cleaning Products

Yes, it is possible to make cleaning products out of household items! Here are some examples:

  1. All-purpose cleaner: Mix 1 part white vinegar with 1 part water in a spray bottle. You can also add a few drops of essential oil for a fresh scent.

  2. Glass cleaner: Mix 1 part white vinegar with 1 part water in a spray bottle. Spray onto windows or mirrors and wipe with a clean cloth.

  3. Furniture polish: Mix 1 part olive oil with 1 part lemon juice in a spray bottle. Spray onto furniture and wipe with a clean cloth.

  4. Oven cleaner: Mix baking soda with enough water to make a paste. Spread the paste onto the inside of your oven and let sit for a few hours. Then, scrub with a sponge or scrub brush and wipe clean with a damp cloth.

  5. Drain cleaner: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then flush with hot water.

These are just a few examples, but there are many more homemade cleaning solutions you can make using household items. Just be sure to do your research and test any new cleaning product in a small, inconspicuous area before using it on a larger scale.
