Non-Toxic Homemade Cleaner

I’d rather just make my own cleaner than worry about reading labels and researching ingredients about cleaning products. I can’t even be certain the label is accurate or honest, if I indeed figure out what all the names of the ingredients actually mean. Labels are intentionally misleading.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of baking soda I use Arm & Hammer
  • 3 tbsp of Adams Thick Hand Soap I use the one with lavender and aloe

Instructions
 

  • Using a hand mixer, add the baking soda to a mixing bowl and gradually add in the Adams Handmade Soap. Depending on your climate you may need to add a little more or a little less soap, but simply mix it until it is the consistency of icing (and it will LOOK like icing….make sure everyone knows it is a cleaner!) I store mine in a 16 oz mason jar and I always double the recipe. You may have a bit left that doesn’t fit in the 16 oz. jar if you double it, so I simply clean something immediately, or simply pick a bigger jar 🙂

Notes

Double or triple the recipe to have quite a bit of cleaner on hand! I use to use Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap. I switched to Adams Castile Soap because the price is soooo much better and the majority of the ingredients are organic. Also, it is a thick hand soap with aloe which I love.
