I like to know what’s in the products I use in my home. One of my goals in 2017 is to rid my home of all toxic supplies and creating a completely toxic-free home that is good for me and my special needs daughter.
In addition to choosing natural household products, making my own cleaning supplies is a surprisingly effective, affordable way to get our home sparkling without harsh chemicals.
This year, why not create your own toxin-free cleaning kit? Start by grabbing this free cleaning caddy + glass spray bottle + orange oil + scrubber sponges from Grove Collaborative! Then use my DIY cleaning recipes to rid your home of toxins and leave it smelling fresh:
- Scented vinegar: Almost every natural cleaning recipe calls for vinegar — but it can be stinky! I like to add a few drops of orange essential oil to 1 cup of vinegar. Citrus oils are especially good at neutralizing the vinegar smell. You can use the scented vinegar in any recipe that calls for regular vinegar.
- Glass cleaner: I’ve experimented with lots of homemade glass cleaner recipes, and this is the one I keep coming back to. Combine 2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol, and 1 drop of dish soap in the Grove glass spray bottle. Spray this directly on your mirror or on a microfiber cloth (a little goes a long way!).
- All purpose cleaner: This cleaner works wonders for cleaning a grimy stovetop or sticky fridge fingerprints. Combine 2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of liquid castile soap, and 10-20 drops of essential oil to a spray bottle and shake well. For tough messes, I spray it on, wait 5 minutes, and scrub with the Grove walnut scrubber sponge.
- Linen spray: Linen sprays always feel so luxurious, but scented products can be full of irritating chemicals. I make my own with essential oils. Combine 1 ½ cups of water, ¼ cup of rubbing alcohol or vodka, and 30 drops of essential oil in the Grove glass spray bottle. Orange oil is a great uplifting scent for the new year!
I have several of these Grove Collaborative glass spray bottles and I love them. I prefer to store my homemade cleaning products in glass, since essential oils can break down plastic over time. I stash all my bottles and supplies in the Grove Collaborative enamel cleaning caddy. It’s one of those things I’ve always wanted but would never buy for myself. Now that I have it, it’s made putting together my essential toxin-free kit a breeze!
That’s what Grove is all about: making creating a healthy, beautiful home effortless and affordable. Tell Grove what you like, and they’ll deliver a box of fabulous natural products (carbon offset) right to your doorstep, on your schedule.
