Bathroom and All-Purpose Cleaners:
Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Soap: Target 8 oz $6.69
This has been a favorite of mine since I was a child! Although the company states you can use this soap for EVERYTHING, I no longer do.
I use this for cleaning the bathrooms. If you mix it with baking soda it makes a very nice soft scrub.
YEARS ago I would use this for laundry but I no longer like the results. (Leaves a residue.)
If peppermint is not your thing, the company has several different scents including a product designed just for cleaning. (Sal Suds)
Bonus: The label is an interesting read!
Citra Solv: Walmart 8oz $12.44
This truly is a versatile cleaner! It seems pricey but a little goes a long way!
I like to dilute with water and use to clean floors but it can be used on so many different surfaces.
Dishes:
Method Dish Soap: $2.99 Target but I have found this on sale for $1.99 at grocer Harris Teeter
I do not know why it took me so long to try this! I love it! This does an excellent job for hand-washing dishes. I like the scent and a little goes a long way.
DIY Cleaners:
Dusting:
For dusting I use a lightweight olive oil mixed with some lemon or orange essential oils and a soft rag. I store the olive oil/essential oil in a small mason jar.
Windows and Mirrors:
I purchased an empty spray bottle from Dollar Tree and fill it with water and white vinegar. I have found unbleached coffee filters work well for cleaning mirrors as they do not leave streaks or lint.
