This is your body sending you a clear signal that the chemicals in your cleansers are causing harm to your body. You shouldn\u2019t have to hold your breath or wear goggles when you clean.<\/p>\n

Put away the toxic cleansers and get ready to make your own. They\u2019re safe, effective, and easy enough that you can use them daily.<\/p>\n

Disinfectant Cleaner<\/h3>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

* Spray bottle
\n* Borax
\n* Liquid soap
\n* White vinegar
\n* Hot water<\/p>\n

Directions: Mix 2 teaspoons of borax with 1\/4 teaspoon liquid soap, 4 tablespoons white vinegar, and 3 cups hot water in a spray bottle.<\/p>\n

Borax is a natural mineral that is odorless, colorless, and alkaline. It\u2019s not reactive and can be mixed with most other cleaning agents. The alkaline nature kills most bacteria and when added to hot water it creates hydrogen peroxide which cleans and boosts the cleaning power of other ingredients.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that borax is not risk free, though. In high doses it can cause respiratory and skin irritation. Be sure to rinse all surfaces.<\/p>\n

Oven Cleaner<\/h3>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

* Baking soda
\n* Washing soda or soda ash
\n* Water
\n* Glass jar<\/p>\n

Directions: In a glass jar, combine 1 cup baking soda and 1\/4 cup of washing soda with enough water to make a paste. Apply to oven surfaces and let sit overnight. Wipe and rinse.<\/p>\n

Glass Cleaner<\/h3>\n

You probably are already familiar with a basic DIY glass cleaner. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water into a spray bottle and use. It\u2019s also great for a countertop cleaner.<\/p>\n

If you dislike the vinegar scent, you can add essential oil for the countertop cleaner. And basic elements like hydrogen peroxide work well to kill mold and mildew.<\/p>\n

Making your own home cleaners is easy. However, keep in mind that the ingredients should still be kept out of the reach of children. Store in sealed containers and use daily to keep your home safe, clean, and toxin free.<\/p>\n
