Homemade cleaners: You can replace store-bought cleaning products with safer alternatives that are easy to make and economical, too. The basic ingredients are items that are either readily available in your home or easy to find at your local grocery store. Homemade cleaners are versatile, so will require less storage space than all of your conventional cleaning products. Use vinegar/water in a spray bottle for cleaning. Add a few drops of essential oil if you want scent. Microfiber cloths eliminate a lot of the multipurpose cleaners you use, too. Use baking soda for more abrasive cleaning.
