Most household all-purpose cleaners on the market today contain toxic chemicals that are harmful to people, animals, and the environment, so we are going to show you how to make a safer more eco-friendly all-purpose cleaner. Here's what you will need: A small spray bottle, 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar, 1-2 teaspoons borax, and some hot water. A small amount of essential oils can be added for fragrance. Now heat up some water and then add all the above ingredients to your spray bottle. Then shake the bottle until all the borax has dissolved. Now you have your own DIY eco-friendly cleaner! Use it to clean the kitchen, bathroom, floors, and anywhere else that needs cleaning. Borax is a natural cleaner discovered over 4000 years ago. It works along with the vinegar and hot water to disinfect, bleach, and deodorize. Try this DIY eco-friendly cleaner and ditch all those household cleaners that are harmful to the environment.
