Here are 14 homemade natural cleaner recipes to help you start living a healthier life with a toxic-free home.
I love making my own household products, including cleaners. They are so easy to make, all natural and smell great! Most importantly, they don’t contain toxic chemicals!
These natural disinfectants use herbs, essential oils, vinegar and other basic items you likely have in your home already. These recipes make 16 ounces of cleaner that you can store in a spray bottle. It is always best to shake before each use to make sure all the ingredients are mixed well for proper cleaning.
Here are 14 homemade natural cleaner recipes:
- Basic Countertop Cleaner: Combine 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 cup vinegar. Top it off with distilled water.

- Lavender Spray: Combine 20 drops of lavender essential oil with distilled water.
- Herb-Infused Spray: Put organic herbs such as rosemary, mint, sage, etc. in a mason jar filled half way. Top it off with apple cider vinegar. Let it infuse for approximately 6 weeks. Swirl weekly. Strain the herbs then add the liquid into spray bottle. Top it off with distilled water.
