Natural Cleansing Spray
how to make a homemade natural cleanser for spring cleaning
It’s spring time and in my book that means spring cleaning. When I was little living in France, in Spring my maman would take most of the furniture out on the lawn – yes I kid you not – and give the house a very thorough clean….
Living in the UK taking all the furniture on the lawn in the middle of April is not something I would attempt… However I do love shuffling furniture around, finding remains of Christmas tree needles along the way. And giving our home the love that it deserves with a very good spruce!
Vinegar is an effective cleaner for your home
Unfortunately nowadays most of the products we find in the shop tend to have many chemicals. Or the green products tend to be pretty expensive and whenever I can I like to be as natural as possible, making my own has become a habit that I know is also becoming popular online. You can find dozens of good articles on social media for green homemade cleansing products. Nevertheless I thought I’d share my trusty natural spray made with only a few ingredients.
Vinegar is an all rounder and contains powerful cleaning and disinfectant properties, by adding essential oil to it, you can make a quick, very effective household scented multi-purpose cleaner.
