If you’ve ever flipped through cleaning aisles and felt overwhelmed by chemical names you can’t pronounce, you’re not alone. At Eco Sparkle, we’re big fans of going back to basics with natural, homemade cleaning recipes that actually get the job done without compromising health or the planet.
Here are some of our go-to recipes that you can whip up with pantry staples:
- All-Purpose Spray: Combine equal parts water and white vinegar, then add 10 drops of lemon or lavender essential oil for a fresh scent. This spray tackles countertops, tiles, and windows with a streak-free shine.
- Tough Scrub Paste: Mix 1/2 cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of castile soap. Perfect for bathtubs, sinks, and stubborn grout, this paste scrubs without scratching surfaces.
- Floor Cleaner: Add 2 tablespoons of castile soap to a bucket of warm water. It’s safe on most floor types and leaves behind a soft, clean finish.
- Natural Air Freshener: Simmer water with lemon slices, fresh rosemary, and a cinnamon stick—it fills your home with cozy, non-toxic aroma.
What we love about DIY cleaning is that you control every ingredient. No hidden toxins, just safe, proven ingredients that clean well and support a greener lifestyle.
Mixing your own solutions also helps Eco Sparkle clients reduce plastic waste and save money, all while feeling more connected to the spaces they care for. Give these recipes a try—you might never go back to chemical cleaners again.
