DIY All-Purpose Cleaner

9/6/2016 (Permalink)

Instead of reaching for one cleaner for this and another for that, this homemade and eco-friendly all purpose cleaner does a great job on just about anything. From dirty sinks to messy counter-tops, this homemade cleaner will leave things spotless 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. And this squeaky-clean concoction only costs pennies per bottle.

What You'll Need:

• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Borax
• 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide
• 2 cups hot water
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Spring of rosemary (optional)
• Essential oil (optional)
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Spray bottle

Directions:

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

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

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

4. 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.
