DIY Spring Cleaning Recipes

Spring Cleaning!!!! You either love it or you hate it. I am a lover. The weather getting nicer, there is more time outdoors, we are getting that vitamin D, and not to mention the mood boost! Many of us get the urge to clean everything and anything his time of year. Today I am going to share my cleaning products with you. I understand that when getting started with essential oils and living a more natural lifestyle it is overwhelming. However, if you stop and just break it down over time, before you know it you have overhauled your whole house and lifestyle.

So today we are breaking down the cleaning cabinet. The thing to remember is you don't have to compromise on the effectiveness of your cleaners in order to use natural products in your home.

Pantry Needs:

Vinegar
Baking Soda
Corn Starch
Water
Natural Dish Soap

Doterra Products:

Lemon
Melaleuca
On Guard
Purify
Wild Orange
On Guard Cleaning Concentrate
Diffuser

Now that you have collected all the ingredients, let’s talk about supplies. I have mentioned it before but when it comes to cleaning, I feel safe using high grade plastic containers. Many others choose to use glass containers which are always the best option but I have little kiddos that like to help and plastic is what we use.

Other Supplies:

Spray bottles (recipes are for 16 oz)

Glass Cleaner

2 T Vinegar
2 T Alcohol
1 tsp Corn Starch
1 Cup Water
Combine Ingredients. Shake before each use

All Purpose Cleaner

1 T Cleaning Concentrate
16oz water
Combine ingredients. Shake before each use

Toilet Cleaner

1/2 cup Baking Soda
5-10 drops Melaleuca
1/4 cup Vinegar
First sprinkle baking soda into toilet bowl, then add Essential oils, then add the vinegar and scrub with your toilet brush as the ingredients react with each other. Let sit for 5-10 minutes after scrubbing and then flush.
