Are you using store bought products like spray cleaners to clean surfaces in your home? These contain all types of chemicals and additives that are really toxic? You are much better off with a product that is toxic-free like an easy to make a homemade all-purpose cleaner.


The best thing about a homemade all-purpose cleaner is it only has three ingredients. You may already have all the ingredients that you need in your kitchen. All you need to do is mix some lemon juice, water, and hydrogen peroxide. Fresh lemon juice will work the best for this cleaner. 

You can use any type of empty spray bottle for your homemade all-purpose cleaner. If you have an old bottle of Windex or other cleaner, then this will be perfect. Just make sure to wash it out first. This is a super cheap to make, but will only be effective for a week before you need to make more.  Instructions to make your own homemade all-purpose cleaner are on apartmenttherapy.com here...
