We all know and love the benefits of using green cleaning products. Not only are they better for the environment, but they’re also better for our health because they aren’t made with harsh chemicals. The only downside to buying green cleaning products in stores is that they often cost more than conventional products. For this reason, why not make your own all-natural cleaners instead?
These recipes for a DIY all-purpose cleaner and degreaser are budget-conscious alternatives that work just as well as anything you’ll buy in stores. In just a few minutes, using ingredients you likely already have at home, you’ll have two homemade natural cleaners that you’ll turn to again and again.
