3 Totally Safe DIY CLEANING SOLUTIONS

The smell of a clean house…that’s pure bliss. The smell of toxic chemicals…that’s pure poison. Luckily, making our own non-toxic cleaners is super simple. We reached out to a friend of the family, Bijou Phillips, who after a health diagnosis became a self-taught wellness guru. Below Bijou explains why she detoxed her household supplies and shares the ingredients we need to make her toxin-free cleaning solutions.

“Look at the back of any store-bought cleaner—so many crazy chemicals. When I found out I had kidney issues, I learned the organs filter out all the chemicals in our environment (among so many other major jobs). Cleaning with most traditional products can affect your well-being by leaving you light-headed, and the artificial fragrance can make you feel sick. I knew I had to make a change.

Nine years ago, I switched to mixing my own cleaning products. I’ll be honest, I was prepared for my house to never be super clean again because of the stigma surrounding natural ingredients not working as well, but I was so wrong. My house is now twice as clean and smells amazing, thanks to essential oils.”

Make the move to safe solutions by using these three recipes.

All-Purpose Cleaning Spray

Ivan Solis

The Recipe:
3/4 cup white vinegar
3 1/2 cups water
45 drops lavender and rose essential oils, or any you choose

Why It Works:
“With the all-purpose solution, you can spray down your kitchen, counters, and even chopping blocks. Beyond all the health benefits for your body and family, it’s cheap to make. The investment in oil will be your biggest purchase, but it lasts a long time. Tip: I use a large mason jar—to avoid plastic containers—and make a big batch, so I can refill it whenever I’m out.”

Since we made the recipe for Poosh at Kourt’s house, she’s used it nonstop and is ready to make another batch.

Glass Cleaner

Ivan Solis

The Recipe:
3 cups white vinegar
1 cup distilled water
10 drops clove oil
5 drops rose or lavender oil

Why It Works:
“Vinegar’s acidity helps clean deep and disinfect, and clove can kill viruses and harmful bacteria. Including lavender or rose will lend a delightful aroma while you’re doing some dirty work.”

Bathroom And Tile Scrub

Ivan Solis

The Recipe:
2 1/4 cups baking soda
3/4 cup unscented liquid castile soap
3 tablespoon water
3 tablespoon vinegar
25 drops citrus oil (such as grapefruit, lemon, or orange)
*Optional: 3 drops thieves oil

Why It Works:
“The bathroom solution cleans faster and better than anything you could buy at a store. It makes your grout, shower, and tiles sparkle like new. I recommend using quality citrus essential oils, since they are known for their ability to disinfect. Thieves oil is also good to add as it can kill germs. It’s strong, so only use a few drops.”
