A lot of people have asked me this weekend how I do it with 3 kids in little league and one in high school. Honestly, I don’t even know 😅 I know that isn’t the most helpful response, but the truth simply is, I love it. 

I love the sport. I love the season. I love watching them grow and develop doing what they love. And I love cheering them on every step of the way. Yes, even if that means giving up my Friday nights and Saturday mornings + afternoons on the sidelines. Because as their mom there is no other place I’d rather be (as long as I’ve got lots of snacks and caffeine of course 🙃)

How to Make A DIY All-Purpose Cleaner for All Surfaces

Sometimes you just want a cleaning product that can take care of everything. 

Every stain, every speckle of dirt, every single dust bunny. 

And that’s why today, we’re making a Eucalyptus & Lavender DIY all-purpose cleaner!

It smells soooo good y’all. 

Why make a DIY all-purpose cleaner?

All-purpose cleaners help you tackle chores faster while also helping you downsize your cleaning supplies too. (Hello minimalism!)

But if you’re like most people, you probably have a LOT of all-purpose cleaning products lying around and you never know which one to pull-out while you’re cleaning — defeating the whole purpose. 

DIY All-Purpose Ingredients:

Here’s what you’ll need to make a DIY all-purpose cleaner (without vinegar) that smells ahhhhhmazing!!! 

  • 1 ½ cups distilled water 
  • ¼ cups rubbing alcohol
  • 1 tbsp lavender Castile soap
  • 10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil (optional)

I’ve started making a homemade all-purpose cleaner because it’s cheaper and overall better for our family and the planet. 

(Although, it doesn’t mean I plan to give up Fabuloso any time soon!)  

How to Make A DIY All-Purpose Cleaner WITHOUT Vinegar

Using a funnel, pour your distilled water into a 16 oz glass spray bottle. Add rubbing alcohol, Castile soap, and essential oil (optional) to the bottle. Attach a spray nozzle and shake well before each use. 

Spray generously on the areas you want to clean. Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to wipe away dirt. 

Note: It is always recommended to test your DIY all-purpose cleaner on a small area first. You can also apply the cleaner directly onto a clean microfiber cloth first, and then begin cleaning.

Where can you use a DIY all-purpose cleaner?

You can use this homemade all-purpose cleaner on your countertops, kitchen appliances, walls & baseboards, furniture, light switches, tables & chairs, and so many more. 

And because this DIY all-purpose recipe is without vinegar, it is 100% safe to use on natural stone (Yes, I’m talking to all the folks who have granite countertops!). 

So go ahead and give this recipe a try!

    Can you use a different scent soap or different essential oils? I have citrus oils.
