How I Prepare My Most Powerful and Effective Natural Cleaner

For a stronger degreaser: Add an extra tablespoon of baking soda to the mixture, or use citrus-based essential oils like lemon or orange.

For glass and mirrors: Skip the baking soda and use just vinegar, water, and essential oils. It will leave a streak-free shine.

For an all-purpose scrub: Mix this solution with a bit of cornstarch for a paste-like consistency. Use it on tough stains or baked-on food residue.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use this cleaner on all surfaces? This cleaner is great for most surfaces, including countertops, sinks, glass, and even stainless steel. However, avoid using it on natural stone surfaces like granite or marble, as vinegar can damage the stone over time.

Can I substitute the vinegar with something else? Vinegar is an effective natural cleaner due to its acidic properties, but if you dislike its smell, you can try using rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide as a substitute. Keep in mind that the vinegar helps with deodorizing, and the essential oils will mask any lingering scents.

Is this solution safe for children and pets? Yes, this cleaner is safe when used as directed. However, always ensure that the surface has dried completely before allowing pets or children to come into contact with it.

How long will this cleaner last? Since this is a natural cleaner without preservatives, it will last up to 3 months when stored properly. If you notice a change in odor or appearance, it’s time to make a new batch.

With just a few simple ingredients, this natural cleaner is a powerful solution that’s both effective and environmentally friendly. I hope you find it as useful in your cleaning routine as I do!
