Making your own green cleaning supplies is surprisingly easy, cheap and totally non-toxic! Here are my favorite cleaners with free printable labels so you can save the trouble of looking up the recipe again!
Back in March, I posted about the green household cleaners I’ve been making and using around the house, complete with a guide on how to get started making your own at home. Now that I’ve been using them consistently for a few months, I thought I’d pare down the list and share with you my favorites, as well as a free printable for each, which you can print out and use as a label on the bottle! (I find they stay on best with packing tape, covering it completely with it so the label doesn’t get wet.)
All-Purpose Household Cleaner
This bad boy really is ALL purpose. I use it to clean practically every surface in the house except for upholstery, including the bathtub, toilets, counter tops, sink, messes on the floor, car dashboard, and more!
Dear My Merry Messy Life, very excited to try out your baking soda freshener. I have memory foam pillows that have been in storage for a year while we were moving and am now struggling to get the pungent smell of moth balls out. A question about the best way to use the baking soda freshener. Sprinkle the freshener onto the pillows and then vacuum it off or just brush off the excess? Worth putting it under the sun while the freshener is at work? Thanks for the advice.
Hi Shirlynn! Yes, sprinkling the baking soda on the pillows and leaving them out in the sun is a great idea! Also, you can usually wash them in the washing machine. If you sprinkle the baking soda on first, let it sit for several hours in the sun, and then wash it I’d think they’d come out really nice and clean!
