Want to know how to make your own cleaners? You’re in the right place! Turns out you can’t just mix anything. Sometimes mixing chemicals to make your own cleaner can be detrimental to your health. We don’t want that. So learn how to make your own cleaners safely!
Learning How To Make Your Own Cleaners
There are so many natural products you can use to clean your house. I haven’t used a lot of harsh cleaners in my home in years. There are some store bought ones I use, but I make my own most of the time.
And believe it or not, a lot of these homemade cleaners tend to work just as well, if not better, than a lot of the store bought ones. Plus, your head won’t be spinning because of the harsh smells coming off of cleaners like bleach.
Not to mention, it’s not good for your health to 1. breathe in all these harsh smells and 2. to disinfect your house all the time. You kill the weaker germs, but the stronger ones get stronger and don’t die meaning you’ll have super bugs. Plus, you need some germs to strengthen your immune system. For some reason people fear all germs and not just the bad ones. But that’s for a different conversation.
