A DIY All-Purpose Cleaner That’s Safe On 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!
