Green and Natural House Cleaning Recipes and Buying Guide

If you would like to reduce the toxins in your home, you've come to the right place! Here is the list of all my green and natural cleaning recipes on the blog, updated regularly.

I became interested in green and non-toxic cleaning after my second son was born, when a friend lent me her copy of  “Clean House, Clean Planet”. I read that sucker cover to cover and loved learning all her recipes for non-toxic cleaners. Ever since, I've been making my own at home for a fraction of the cost of the toxic ones, let alone the non-toxic ones in the stores!

Buying Guide

Are you interested in starting to make your own cleaners at home but are overwhelmed by how to do it and where to start? I suggest doing one thing at a time, take baby steps. Pick one cleaner on this list and make it. Get used to how it works and where the supplies are in your grocery store. Then, make another one. Before you know it, you'll be like me and the toxic cleaners will be gone forever, along with the toxic load on your house and body.

Here are the basic ingredients I use in almost all my household cleaners:

  • White Distilled Vinegar (where to buy)
  • Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap (any scent is fine, this is just my favorite for cleaning) (where to buy)
  • Baking Soda (where to buy)
  • Essential Oils – the ones I use the most are lavender, tea tree oil, lemon, and Purification (where to buy high quality essential oils)
  • Super Washing Soda (you can make this by baking soda, but I cook all the time so I buy it instead!) (where to buy)
  • Industrial Spray Bottle (where to buy)
