Basic Homemade Bathroom Cleaner Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon Borax
• 2 cups hot boiled Water
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid dishwashing soap
• 3 tablespoons white Vinegar
• 15 drops Lavender essential oil
• 10 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
• 5 drops Tea Tree essential oil

Directions

1. Pour the water into a large glass pitcher with a spout. Add the borax and stir until it's dissolved.


2. Let the mixture cool to room tmerature, then pour it into a spray bottle. Add the remaining ingredients and shake well to mix.


3. To use, spray onto bathroom surfaces, then wipe clean with a cloth or sponge.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup cup (40g) Borax
• 1/3 cup cup (40g) Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon liquid Dishwashing Soap
• 5 drops Rosemary essential oil
• 5 drops Tea Tree essential oil

Directions

To use, dampen the tub or sink and apply the homemade bathtub cleaner with a sponge or rag. Rinse well.

I use one of those sponges with the plastic scrubby stuff on one side (like in the picture at the top of the page.) It even gets rid of that hard water/soap scum film without too much work!

Heavy Duty Homemade Grout Cleaner Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cup (60g) Borax
• 1/2 cup cup (60g) Baking Soda
• 1/3 cup (80ml) white Vinegar
• 5 drops Cinnamon Bark essential oil
• 5 drops Clove essential oil

Directions

Caution: Wear rubber gloves - this blend can irritate the skin.

If you don't have cinnamon or clove oil, replace them with 5 drops each of thyme and tea tree (smells strong!) Use rubber gloves for this homemade bathroom cleaner blend too.

Homemade Toilet Cleaners

1. Pour 1 cup (120g) of borax and 1/4 cup (60ml) of lemon juice into the toilet bowl. Let sit overnight. In the morning, scrub with a toilet brush, then flush to rinse. Easy!


2. For tough stains, make a borax and lemon juice paste. Scoop some of the water out of the toilet to expose the stain, then rub the paste into it. Let stand overnight. In the morning, scrub once more, then flush to rinse.
