homemade glass cleaner recipe.
hey party people! let's get crazy today and talk homemade cleaning solutions, shall we?
turns out, a lot of you are very into the idea of natural cleaners. whether it's because you want to decrease the chemicals in your home, because you prefer to buy cruelty-free products, or even that you just want to save money, there are so many good reasons to start making your own cleaners at home.my mom has been making homemade cleaning solutions for a really long time, so you'd think that i would do that too. well, let me tell you, it's taken me until pretty recently to get on board. i used to like the idea of making homemade cleaners, but it just felt like it would take so much time and energy to do, so i decided it wasn't for me. and then i made my first homemade glass cleaner, and was DUMBFOUNDED that it had taken me so long.homemade cleaning solutions have so few ingredients, and you probably already have them all in your house already. and i'm not exaggerating when i say that making them takes less time than a run to target.this glass cleaner is so great because it actually gets the scum off of your windows. the first time i used it on my windows, i could actually see it taking off the residue left behind by the windex that i've always used. my windows and mirrors are so clean and i love it! it brings me so much irrational joy!
homemade glass cleaner recipe
- 1 1/2 C. water (distilled or filtered is best)
- 1/4 C. white vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. rubbing alcohol
- 10-15 drops citrus essential oils (i used 12 lemon, 3 tangerine)
add all ingredients to a glass or heavy duty plastic spray bottle. shake to combine before using. spray on windows and wipe with a microfiber cloth, paper towel or newspaper. slap a cute label on it if you're feeling fancy and store in a dark, cool place.i have recipes for wood floor cleaner, toilet cleaner, and all-purpose cleaner that i'll be posting over the next few weeks months (i'm nothing if not self-aware). if any of you try making any of these recipes, please let me know in the comments or send me a quick instagram message, i'll be so interested to hear what you think! also, i know not everyone is familiar with essential oils, so if anyone is curious about anything to do with essential oils and how i have been using them for cleaning and around the house, or if you're curious about the type of oils i use, please reach out, i love talking about it!
