Clean House, Healthy House!

I'm a huge fan of a clean house but not of all the toxic ingredients in household cleaners! Here are a few of my favorite go to cleaners that are inexpensive and safe! 



Wood Cleaner: 1 cup vinegar, 1 cup water, 1tsp soap, 1tablespoon olive oil few drops rosemary extract  

Wood polish:  2tablespoons olive oil, 1tsp lemon juice mix together, apply directly to cloth and rub on wood 

Stone and glass: 1 Cup Vinegar to 1 gallon water (I prefer warm water on glass)

All purpose: 1/2 cup vinegar 2 teaspoons Borax, 1/2 gallon water, essential oil for scent 
or 
 1tsp liquid soap, 1tsp borax, 2tsp lemon juice, 2 cups water (I like this in the bathroom)
or                       

1/4 cup castile soap and 1 gallon water (I love Dr. Bronner's it will clean just about anything!) 


My favorite bathroom cleaner: cut a lemon in half, put 1tsp borax on the lemon, scrub the counter and wipe with a clean damp cloth! (I have a crazy producing lemon tree so this is an easy one for me) 

Air freshener 
2 cups water
15-20 drops eucalyptus or lavender oil 

Happy, healthy cleaning!
