Making safe housecleaning products is a great choice.
In a day and age, where cleaning chemicals are readily available and some even boast being “green” and “environmentally-friendly,” it can be hard to know what’s best for keeping your home clean. So what’s the solution? Perhaps the least expensive and yet still effective answer is to make your own. Today we have a round-up of DIY Housecleaning Products! These use easy to find items such as vinegar, baking soda, borax, and peroxide to make the homemade solutions.
1) Bathroom Cleaning Products – Apartment Therapy offers several recipes for various bathroom cleansers! This informative post will provide you with many options – these are much safer than chemicals and are definitely more eco-friendly.
2) DIY Kitchen Cleaners – Safe, natural, and non-toxic kitchen cleaners can be hard to find. Making your own is not only simply but they are inexpensive. Keeper of the Home has 10 different homemade cleaning products for the kitchen – disinfectant wipes, dish soap, ant killer and more.
3) Carpet Deodorizer – Smith & Blessings share a simple and easy deodorizer to make. With pets and kids, carpets inevitably take a beating and can often house unwelcome odors.

Switching out traditional cleaners for homemade ones can be overwhelming at first, but you won’t regret making the change. Start with 1 or 2 cleaners to keep it simple and achievable! Your home, your budget, and your health will thank you. We’ve mentioned some household uses for coconut oil – check them out here.
