Prefer to make your own? You only need a handful of simple ingredients to create non-toxic, safe ways to clean your kitchen!
Non-Toxic, Safe Ways to Clean Your Kitchen
Here’s what you need to create your own safe, non-toxic kitchen cleaners.
- White Vinegar (buy a large gallon size) – one word of caution: never use vinegar on marble or travertine
- Tea Tree Oil
- Rubbing Alcohol
- Corn Starch
- Baking Soda
- Lemons
- Lemon Juice
- Spray Bottles
- Funnel (makes it a lot easier to get the ingredients into the bottle)
Now for the recipes. You’ll love the all-purpose and grout cleaners.
All-Purpose Cleaner:
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 10 drops tea tree oil
Mix in a spray bottle. The tea tree oil improves the antimicrobial properties. Kills bacteria and mold. (Do not use on marble or travertine.)
Glass Cleaner:
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
- 2 cups water
- 1 TBS corn starch
Mix in spray bottle. Alcohol and corn starch result in streak-free glass.
Silverware Cleaner for Silver and Stainless:
- Soak silverware in full strength white vinegar, rinse with water and dry
Scouring Cleanser:
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 TBS dish soap
- Enough white vinegar to form a paste
Great for cleaning cookware.
Wood Cutting Boards Sanitizer:
- Wipe with full strength white vinegar OR
- Rub with cut lemon (use leftover lemon sliced to freshen your disposal)
Disposal Freshener:
- Cut narrow 1/2″ lemon slices and grind up in disposal
Grout Cleaner:
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 7 cups water
Mix in spray bottle. Spray and let soak for 5-10 minutes before scrubbing a bit. For extra dirty grout, let soak longer and use a scrub brush with stiff bristles. It will make your grout look like new.
