My favorite cleaner.

via QSPRN.com

I have a favorite all-purpose cleaner. That is one of the most grown-up sentences I have ever muttered and the child in me is giving me weird looks.

The bigger problem is that it's actually true! Like it is a factual statement that reflects my actual feelings about an all-purpose cleaner. Uuuugh.

So, because recipe sharing is something grown-ups do, I'm going to share the super-simple-not-so-secret-secret-recipe.

Step One: Get yourself a spray bottle. Any bottle will do, but choose something that sprays a heckuva lot better than mine does, puh-lease!
Step Two: Fill it half way with water. Any old water will do.
Step Three: Fill the rest of the bottle with white vinegar. You can buy fancy-dancy vinegar if you want but I keep it cheap and buy the 2-for-$4 at Sam's Club. (I actually don't know how much it costs, but it's cheap.)
Step Four: Add a few drops of Dawn.
Step Five: Shake shake shake shake your booty bottle!

If you simply can't abide the smell of vinegar, or want to add more disinfecting power, feel free to add 10-20 drops of your go-to essential oil.

Then clean your home! I use it for everything kitchen related, from countertop cleaning to spraying down pans with stuck-on food (it is a miracle worker for this!).

Cheap. Easy. Mostly all natural. Non-toxic. I'm in love.

Do you have a favorite household cleaner, thusly causing your inner child to stick its tongue out at you, too?

  1. This is awesome. I definitely know how you feel. It's like when the carpets are vacuumed and all of a sudden my whole life seems better. Lame.
