Introduction to Making Homemade Cleaners
Have you ever thought of making your own cleaning supplies at home? It is a known fact that commercial, chemical-based cleaning products are exorbitant and unhealthy in the end. They also pollute the environment during production and after disposal of packaging papers and bottles. If you want to preserve the environment for future generations, start using natural ingredients to make cleaning aids at home. By so doing you will minimize the odds that you or somebody in your family will suffer from asthma, allergies, bronchitis or sinusitis because of synthetic chemicals exposure.
Benefits of Homemade Cleaners
Making organic cleaning aids at home means that you will no longer have to spend a lot of money on potentially harmful commercial cleaners. Furthermore, you will spend just a few minutes to create a functional cleanser with the help of our recipes. Our recipes use mostly essential oils and other organic, readily available ingredients.
We present them in the most comprehensible manner to ensure that you get excited about trying them. There is a very good reason why many commercial cleaning products contain essential oil scents such as lemon, lime, lavender, cedar, rosemary, eucalyptus among others. These natural ingredients not only clean but also leave the surfaces disinfected.
They smell nice and fresh, and this is exactly what you look to achieve with synthetic, chemical-laden cleaning supplies. Wouldnt it be fun and satisfying to use a product you have personally created? This is the goal we intend to help you achieve through this book.
Decide on the cleansers to make first
Unless you have enough leisure time, it will not be possible to prepare all the cleansers at the same time. So it makes sense to plan when you will prepare each product that is needed in your home.

Kitchen
Bathroom
