DIY All Purpose Cleaner

My goal is to clean green in my home. I started by making an all purpose cleaner, mainly for the kitchen counter and cupboard doors. Everything here is white and requires constant maintenance (which doesn't always happen).


























I filled one spray bottle with a simple mixture of water and vinegar, which can be used first to cut grease and disinfect if needed. I filled another spray bottle with two cups water, 2 tsp baking soda and 2 tsp castile soap infused with eycalyptus and spearmint (which not only smell great, but are also antibacterial). It smells so much better than the off-the-shelf chemically loaded stuff. And I'm not polluting the water or air with contaminants. Baking soda, castille soap and vinegar are cheap and I can continue to reuse the same spray bottles. A healthier home and environment at minimal cost.
