How To Make 30 All Natural & Eco Friendly Cleaners

And now we’ll continue the cleaning chit-chat with this handy little homemade cleaner breakdown. When we talked about getting even greener and experimenting with homemade cleaners in year three of YHL, an expert in that very area offered up a few of her favorite formulas.

over-30-easy-to-make-cleaning-products-cleaners

And we jumped at the chance to learn how all natural and totally eco-friendly cleaning materials are easy and effective- and sometimes way cheaper than paying for the more toxic stuff that can hurt pets, kids, people in general and the planet at large. Here’s what Evan the all-knowing homemade cleaner girl passed along:

This has become an obsession for me. If you think of your home as a sanctuary you want it to be not only beautiful but safe for your health! Store bought chemicals and cleansers can not only be toxic, poisonous or cause other averse health effects (no wonder they have all those warnings and skull & crossbone images on them) but they can also be expensive, completely unregulated, bad for the environment and full of excess packaging that ends up in landfills every day. They often come with big bold warnings that say things like “danger”, “caution”, “corrosive”, “irritant”, and even “chronic health hazard” which by definition can mean anything from “chemicals that destroy tissue” (corrosive) to “causes sterility and birth defects” (chronic health hazard). And even those that just say “danger” or “caution” can be attached to warnings that say “may be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed” or “highly toxic, flammable, poisonous and corrosive.”

Well Evan, when you put it that way, the toxic store bought cleaners bearing those labels (which can commonly be found on everything from basic toilet bowl cleaners to oven and drain solutions) sound pretty terrible. Tell us more.

By contrast, some non-toxic and all natural ingredients like baking soda and vinegar are not only not corrosive, poisonous, or hazardous to your health in any way, they’re actually completely safe if ingested (after all they’re found in the kitchen and they’re 100% edible!).

  • Baking Soda is a great naturally abrasive ingredient with mild alkaline properties, it’s also a natural deodorizer and stain remover, and it rinses easily, is completely non-toxic (no more dangers for kids and pets licking surfaces that you’ve cleaned) and it’s extremely affordable (you can grab a 12lb bag at Costco for next to nothing).
  • Vinegar is an all natural and mild acid, it’s also a known disinfectant that can remove stains, sanitize, and it’s also completely non-toxic and inexpensive (you can also grab a giant jug of it at Costco for an extremely reasonable price). It should be noted that it shouldn’t be used on stone surfaces or acetate fabrics but there are many other natural cleaning methods that work for those surfaces.
  • Hydrogen Peroxide is also non-toxic (learn more about it and it’s many uses here) and is known to be a natural bleaching agent with disinfectant and stain removing properties. It’s also extremely inexpensive (just $1 for three bottles at Walgreen’s).
  • All Natural Tea Tree Oil And Grapefruit Oil (which have known antibacterial properties) And Lemon Juice (which naturally cuts grease and leaves a totally fresh scent) are also extremely helpful to have in your all-natural cleaning arsenal.
  • Liquid Castile Soap (like Dr. Bronner’s, sold at Target, Trader Joe’s, etc) is a vegetable based soap as opposed to a petroleum based one, which makes it completely non-toxic so it can be used on your face and body but will also work well when it comes to cleaning your home. It’s not quite as inexpensive as baking soda or vinegar, but a large 32 oz containter is just $8.99 at Trader Joe’s.

************************************************

But wait, Evan has even more ideas to keep things green and clean around your casa:

  • Run your dishwasher late at night without a heat-dry setting and let things air dry overnight instead
  • Replace sponges with washable and reusable items like microfiber cloths and dishrags
  • Premix large batches of cleaning formulas so they’re always on hand and you’re never tempted to buy store stuff again
  • Set your washer to cold/cold for the most eco laundry you can get
  • Have people take off their shoes when they enter the house and wipe down the shower after each use (these preventative methods will really keep the house cleaner and cut down on your work)

And just because she’s such a pro, Evan even included her resources so you can learn more or see where she got her facts. Gotta love a girl who’s so thorough AND considerate: Consumer Reports, Nat’l Geographic, The Green Guide, Do It Green, Frugal Living, The Vinegar Institute, EarthEasy, Coyne and Kutzen “The Urban Homestead”

    Is there something I can substitute for the Liquid castile soap (like Dr. Bronner’s)No store near me carries it.

    Just thought I would add something, our bathtub was super clogged up and we put a ton of bakingsoda down the drain and then put vinegar in until it backs up out of the drain hole, and let it sit for a while, then run scolding hot water down the drain and it was cleared out! No draino, no harmful chemicals just something I had laying around the house..

    In the last several months I’ve been slowly switching over to “green cleaning” and I’ve run out of the chemical store brands. 1. it is sooo much cheaper!! 2. Soo much better for my family/world. 3. I use way fewer products. Meaning just having some basics like baking soda, white distilled vinegar, my fav essential oils and a few other things my “under sink” area is much less cluttered!! These are just a few of the things I’ve made myself. Laundry soap, fabric softener, stain remover, dishwasher soap, window cleaner, air freshener, multi purpose cleaner & wipes(yes anti bacterial), drain cleaner, and furniture polish. Now I have NO problem having my young son helping out with the cleaning duties around the house!!

      I tried 1 Tbs in the prewash and 1 Tbs in the regular detergent dispenser, and topped it off with Lemi Shine (hard water here)and everything gets very clean. :) I just worried that it might be too much. :)

    • Dedra says

      I use a different recipe that is simply 1 part baking soda and 1 part borax (I mix it up and store it with a Tbsp scoop in it) and I generally use 2 Tbsp as well. However, I use white distilled vinegar for my rinse agent, and it works great. I shared it and others have had great results with it too, best of all is you never even smell the vinegar.

    Wow!!!! I have been on your website for 2 days and I am still learning new tricks for clean living. We have been cleaning with vinegar for years now. We have just discovered recently that our soaps and shampoos are also hazardous. Thank you so much for all the ideas on what we can use to substatute!!!! I do have a question….what do you use for shaving cream and deodorant?

    Also love your remodeling ideas. You have a beautiful home!

      It isn’t their recipe, but rubbing alcohol works fantastic, especially if you use coffee filters. They are both cheap, come in large amounts, and using natural cleaners you can throw the filters on the compost pile guilt free. Plus, alcohol kills everything except bacterial spores.

    Hi Sherry,
    Just wanted to say thanks for all of the natural, eco-friendly, and non-toxic alternative ideas. I love your simplistic and green lifestlye. I am attempting to go green and switch over all of my products. Your posts have been very helpful!

    I also wanted to let you know that while researching green products, I found that tea tree oil should be avoided because it is toxic.

    I didn’t have the chance to sit and read ALL of the comments, but I wanted to let you in on another tip. My mother is an RN and a very clean housekeeper on top of that. I’m talking unnatural, looks like a magazine 24/7, kind of clean. She uses rubbing alcohol for most everything to disinfect. It actually kills germs and viruses better than straight bleach, and is great to not leave streaks or spots on mirrors all the way to stainless steel, especially if you use a coffee filter on the glass. Rubbing alcohol is cheap and the scent evaporates very quickly, even for those of use with severe allergies or breathing problems. The downfall to this for the Eco crowd is that in an effort to stop people from drinking it, formaldehyde is added in a small amount. However, cheap vodka is the same, but without the formaldehyde added if you are willing to soak up the cost for the purism.

    The best window, stainless steel, glass and all around shiny surface cleaner is club soda (and most club soda and peroxide bottles will just need a sprayer nozzle attached to them). If you ant you can add 15-25 drops of essential oil of your choice to add disinfecting properties to the club soda, but plain works great, too. I keep bottles of peroxide with sprayer nozzles on them all around the house, so cleaning is super easy as I go. I keep one in the laundry area (great for blood stains), in the kithchen, and in each bathroom. I also have spray bottles of vinegar (with a variety of essential oils) in each room as well, the laundry room has straight vinegar with no oils. I have been using the olive oil/ lemon juice recipe for years for wood and leather – just fantastic. Baking soda is a great cleaner, too. I reuse old parmesan cheese shaker containers for baking soda shaker containers – great for tubs, toilets, or anywhere you need to sprinkle baking soda.

    A great inexpensive room freshener – a cotton ball with vanilla!

    Happy cleaning……

    Hi! I wanted to tell you that I’ve had this page bookmarked forever, using the surface spray for 95% of my cleaning. About a month ago, I was cleaning and my 4 yr old thought it’d be fun to spray it in his mouth. He screamed that it was yucky, and I called poison control. The guy at poison control asked for the ingredients in my spray, and I told him. He said that the Borax is the only “bad” thing, and it’s so diluted that it’s not an issue – he’ll have a nasty taste in his mouth, but no harm done. Then he said that it’s the same cleaning spray that he and his wife use, because it’s so child and pet friendly if ingested.
    Thanks for posting these ‘recipes’ – you literally saved me a trip to the ER!!!!!!!!! =)

    Granted we are talking about all-natural products, but not all of your readers will be 100% natural. Many are just slowly moving in that direction one step at a time, which means you should put a warning under the laundry pre-treatment that contains ammonia (“do NOT use with bleach, creates fatal fumes”) as this creates mustard gas. Yikes!
    Also, doesn’t lemon juice also contain antibacterial properties? I’ve used lemon juice with salt for a stain remover rather than a lime. Are all citric fruits equal in these antibacterial and cleaning aspects? I’ve also heard that throwing chunks of lemon with the rind still on down your garbage disposal can sharpen your blades, has antibacterial properties, and smells great!

    I love the recipes on this page. It’s already saved us a lot of money and I feel better about using these cleaning products with my 3 small children around. However, please check the recipe for the Gorgeously Green All-Purpose Spray. It has hydrogen peroxide and vinegar mixed together. You are not supposed to mix the two in the same bottle! It’s ok to make the cleaner without the hydrogen peroxide, then spray hydrogen peroxide from a separate bottle when you spray the other cleaner.

    Reply

  31. Ldy_lk says

    I was wondering where the Gorgeously Green recipe had gone… The bottle I’d mixed was down to droplets and I came here looking for the recipe to re-up. I had no problems mixing the hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, but that could be due to how they are mixed (this seems to be the concession of several other websites, as well).
    Is there any way to get an email copy of Gorgeously Green? I miss it so, so much. My kitchen hasn’t been the same.

    For a wonderful surface/glass cleaner (and many other things as well), loosely fill a quart jar with orange peel then fill the jar with white vinegar. Let sit for at least 2 days, then strain into a spray bottle. Dries fast, streak free and that hint of citrus in the vinegar leaves a great, clean smell.

    Reply

    • Jackie says

      This is a wonderful mixture I use as well. You can use any citrus peels in combinations or by themselves. If you let the mixture sit for more than a couple of days, you need to dilute the final product with water as the citrus juices from the peel are very strong and can eat away at some surfaces. I let mine sit for three weeks and mix 1/2 and 1/2

  33. Linda H says

    There seems to be an ongoing discussion on the safety of borax. Some think its fine and others believe it shouldn’t be used at all or at least around pets and children. We recycle our grey water from our washing machine into our garden and since borax is an herbacide I don’t use it in my wash. I am highly allergic to all citrus products so I don’t use lemon in any form. I do use baking soda, vinegar and other natural cleaners.

    I love this article! In the past couple of years I’ve been switching over to these and thought I was a genius for making my own air freshening spray (rose/mint is my favorite) a few weeks ago!

    I want to draw your attention to GRAPEFRUIT SEED OIL. Grapefruit seed oil has been long and widely claimed to have antibacterial/antimicrobial properties but it does not. In fact nothing in the seed naturally contains any of those properties.

    During the processing benzethonium chloride along with other synthetic additives are added. That’s the part that is antibacterial. Here is the article. It’s loaded with the scientific tests and results, but the conclusion is near the bottom:

    Wonderful web site and great followers with superb tips.
    I had a badly greased up hood fan and used original blue dawn dish soap mixed with baking soda to a paste. Elbow grease, warm water to rinse before going onto the next spot and a toothbrush did the trick. There are a lot of cleaning tips with this dish soap on the internet as it is great for degreasing and stain removal. Most of the receipes stated that it must be the original blue product and not the other smells or colours.
    In Canada we have the Sunlight washing bar (laundry isle) and Ivory soap that can be replaced for the Fels Neptha and dr. Bonners as I have not found the the western provinces.
    Citric acid i found at Bulk Barn by the cake making items.
    Also, I have gone ” no poo” for over five months. I use a shaker from part. Cheese and sprinkle baking soda on my hand and rub into my wet hair. Your hair goes through a shock period and becomes limp, but i kept on using it and my hair is very soft now. i give my hair a break every other wash and use just the rinse plus a deep conditioning every month with coconut oil or olive oil gently warmed up and sit for min. 5 minuets. You really have to play with the amount of BS used as different water areas create different results on your hair. DON’T give up on this, keep trying, it may take months to get the right amount.
    For a rinse, I use a large ketchup bottle and mix 1/3 c. Apple cider vinegar with the remainder being water. I even simmered a big batch of fresh sage with 5 c. of water for 1/2 hour and used this in place of plain water (sage is great for hair). Use it on just the ends of your hair, you don’t need much and NO you don’t smell like vinegar when your hair dries!!

    Sponges can be kept clean and sanitary by laundering them with your whites. They wear out eventually but last a long time this way with no smell or germ danger. I generally use a clean one every day. Sponges made from recycled materials are now available.

    Does anyone know what kind of solution I could put in my Hoover carpet cleaner? I emailed the company but all they said was that their carpet solution was “natural and non-toxic”. They would not tell me what was in it – and the label did say carcinogenic. They also said that if I put anything other than their solution – it would void my warranty! They are very uncooperative!
