How to Make a DIY All-Purpose Cleaner for Every Surface
Gather Your Ingredients: You'll need ingredients that are effective at cleaning and disinfecting, yet gentle on surfaces and safe for the environment.
Prepare Your Supplies: Get a clean spray bottle to store and dispense your homemade cleaner. Make sure the bottle is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before use.
Mix Your Ingredients: In your spray bottle, combine equal parts white vinegar and water. For example, you could use one cup of vinegar and one cup of water.
Shake Well: Secure the lid of the spray bottle tightly and shake the mixture vigorously to ensure that the ingredients are well combined.
Label Your Cleaner: To avoid confusion and ensure safety, label your spray bottle clearly as "All-Purpose Cleaner" and list the ingredients used.
Test on a Small Area: Before using the cleaner on a large area or delicate surface, test it on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility and check for any adverse reactions.
Use as Needed: Your DIY all-purpose cleaner is now ready to use on a variety of surfaces including countertops, sinks, appliances, and floors.
