A Fantastic Natural All-Purpose Cleaner

When it comes to keeping your home clean, vinegar is your best friend - it's natural and safe, it's inexpensive, and it's a powerful disinfectant. However, when we have finished cleaning the house, we want it to smell fresh, not burn our nostrils out. That is where this all-natural vinegar mixed with lemon and thyme cleaning spray comes in. It has the scrubbing capabilities of vinegar, but leaves a lovely, refreshing smell.
 
Natural All-Purpose Cleaner

This DIY cleaner can be used to degrease oven surfaces, get rid of counter stains, sanitize cutting boards, and wipe away mold and mildew in the bathroom. However, we don't recommend using it to clean marble as it can cause etching.

If you don't like lemon and thyme, you could use:

• Lavender
• Rosemary
• Orange peels
• Peppermint, balsam fir, tea, or citrus essential oil
• Cloves
• Cinnamon Sticks
• Eucalyptus
