DIY Green Home Cleaner

I have been whipping up the easy DIY cleaner below for a couple years now. I like it because there is basically only one ingredient (can it get any better than that?), and it’s non-toxic which is ideal for use around food in the kitchen, kids and pets.

All you need is:

• 1 tablespoon of Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap in Peppermint
• Water
• 16oz spray bottle

How to make it: 

1. Put one tablespoon of the Dr. Bronner’s into the bottom of the spray bottle.
2. Fill the rest of the bottle with water (be sure to leave a little bit of room so the sprayer will fit without overflowing)
3. Give it a little shake and you are ready to go!

A few other notes from my experience:

• An 8oz bottle of the Dr. Bronner’s will last a very long time if you are only using it for this cleaner, so I consider this DIY product a money saver in the long run!
• You can absolutely use an empty spray bottle you already have on hand from a previous product you purchased (ex: Windex), but there is something that I really like about a glass bottle. In my opinion it makes the chore of cleaning the kitchen or bathroom just a tiny bit better.
• Other scents you might like of Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap: Citrus or Lavender
• Have a favorite essential oil you just love? You can use Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Castile Soap and add a couple drops of essential oils in.

Let me know if you try it out!
