This Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner Is Super Easy to Make (and Smells Amazing)

Apr 24 2020 - 11:20am

Instead of reaching for one cleaner for this and another for that, this homemade and eco-friendly all-purpose cleaner [1] does a great job on just about anything. From dirty sinks to messy countertops, this homemade cleaner will leave things spotless [2] with borax and deodorizing lemon juice. Borax is a natural grease-buster that also does double-duty as a disinfectant. The addition of vinegar breaks down bacteria, while hydrogen peroxide naturally cleans and shines. Plus, this squeaky-clean concoction only costs pennies per bottle!

What You'll Need:

Directions:

  1. Gather the ingredients needed for making the all-purpose cleaner.

  1. Measure and add borax to a mixing bowl, and cover with the hot water. Whisk until incorporated.

  1. Measure and add the hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, and lemon to the bowl. Give the mixture a gentle stir.

  1. Use a spouted measuring cup to pour the cleaner into the spray bottle and top with a few drops of your favorite essential oil or a sprig of rosemary, which gives the all-purpose scrubber a slight scent. Now you're all set to spray on countertops or sinks and then wipe clean.
