Today I’m in the kitchen showing you how to make your own kitchen cleaners! I love making my own cleaning products – It’s so easy (seriously) and it’s a great way to keep chemicals out of your home! I start with awesome disinfectant wipes that are non-toxic and are reusable. If you don’t want to use a bamboo towel as your wipe, you can also use an old towel or t-shirt. I’m also making a stainless steal cleaner that will cost you only a dollar to make!
INGREDIENTS – DIY Disinfecting Wipes
- Mason glass jar/container
- Face cloths/rags (or, you can cut up old towels)
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
- 3/4 cup distilled water
- 12 drops of tea tree essential Oil
DIRECTIONS
- Pour the liquids into the container.
- Fold the towels into quarters and stack them into the container – they will soak up the liquid.
- Use on all surfaces in the kitchen to disinfect. If you are using a paper towel, discard after each use. If you are using a bamboo towel, simply rinse under hot water and place back into your cleaning solution.
You can also make a bathroom wipe:
- 1 32-ounce mason jar
- 3-4 face cloths
- Solution: Same recipe as above
- Use: Use to disinfect bathroom surfaces such as sinks, counter tops, handles etc.
- Toss each cloth into the laundry after use.
DIY Stainless Steel Cleaner
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 salt
Directions for Stainless Steel Cleaner
- Spray the vinegar over the steel surface and rub away dirt and stains with the rag.
- Turn the rag over, place a few drops of olive oil onto it.
- Polish the steel surface until it shines!
