Are you looking to reduce chemicals in your home? One of the best ways to do that is by making your own cleaning products. in this video, I am sharing 5 of my top money-saving DIY cleaning recipes that are safe and effective to use in the home.
All of these recipes are made using Castile soap. Castille soap is one of the most versatile ingredients you can have in the home.
It’s non-toxic and very effective at making several products we buy daily, like hand soap, all-purpose cleaners, and even face wash!
Conventional cleaning products can increase indoor air pollution, many of them, like bleach and ammonia, give off volatile organic compounds that off-gas in the home, contributing to poor indoor air.
You will need a clean spray bottle, measuring spoons, essential oils, a small funnel, distilled water, and castile soap for all these recipes.
ALL-PURPOSE CLEANING SPRAY
What I love about this recipe is that it can be used safely on all surfaces in the home and does a great job at cleaning.
