DIY All-Purpose Cleaner

Here's a recipe for an all-purpose household cleaner that you can make at home using natural ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of white vinegar
• 1/4 cup of baking soda
• 2 cups of water
• 10-15 drops of your preferred essential oil (such as lemon or tea tree)

Directions:

1. In a spray bottle, combine the white vinegar, baking soda, water, and essential oil.
2. Shake the bottle well to make sure all the ingredients are well mixed.
3. Spray the mixture onto the surface you want to clean.
4. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth or sponge.
5. For tough stains or grime, you can let the solution sit for a few minutes before wiping.

This all-purpose cleaner is great for cleaning countertops, appliances, and most surfaces. The vinegar is a natural deodorizer and disinfectant, while the baking soda is a gentle abrasive that helps to remove stains and grime. The essential oil adds a pleasant scent and also has antimicrobial properties. You can use this cleaner all over your house, just avoid using it on marble or any other sensitive surfaces.

This DIY all-purpose cleaner would pair really well with the zero waste kitchen kit. It comes with loofahs, brushes and compostable sponges.

Note: Always test on a small inconspicuous area before using on large surface, as some surfaces may be sensitive to certain ingredients.
