DIY Green Cleaning Recipe

Making your own household cleansers is easy on the earth and on the wallet. It’s also a simple way to reduce toxins in the home. 

Try this all-purpose recipe from the nonprofit group Healthy Child Healthy World: 

Fill a spray bottle with:

• 2 tsp of Borax
• 4 Tbsp of white vinegar (a natural degreaser and disinfectant)
• 3 to 4 cups of hot water for an all-purpose cleanser.
• If more cleaning power is needed, add ¹⁄₄ tsp of liquid Castile soap.
