If you’ve landed here, that probably means you are looking for an affordable all natural cleaning solution to replace those household cleaners that are filled with a lot of the yucky allergy-causing chemicals. It is surprisingly easy to create all-natural household cleaners that are effective, eco-friendly, and inexpensive.
If you’re like most of us, keeping your countertops spotless is an all-day-every-day task that never ends. Aside from the obvious need to keep your kitchen clean for cooking and food prep, it is so important in such a high traffic space such as the kitchen or bathroom, that tables, counters, cabinet knobs, tile areas, etc… aren’t a breeding ground for bacteria and other germs.
That said, it is just as important to make sure that what you are using to get rid of the germ and bacteria causing pests all around you isn’t a toxic cleaner that might make things considerably worse than they were to start with.
Rather than scouring the internet for hours to find the least expensive yet effective all natural cleaning solutions for your counters and tile, you can use just a few simple ingredients that you may already have around the house to get the same result. And as a bonus, most DIY recipes for household cleaning are actually more effective than their chemically filled counterparts.
