Non-toxic Cleaner
Non-toxic Cleaner
This homemade all-purpose non-toxic cleaner is simply the best.
Did you know that chemical companies are not required to disclose the ingredients in their cleaning products? Firstly, this is a bit concerning considering that the few voluntarily listed ingredients have some pretty weird names to them. Moreover, we can’t pronounce them, can you? Secondly, why do we have to play this game? We just want to clean our homes.
Today, we shine the bright light on toxic manmade “cleaning” supplies. Not only that, but we show how to make your own homemade non-toxic cleaner that will preserve both your heath and wallet.
This non-toxic cleaning formula is made by blending alcohol, vinegar and water. All ingredients made by Almighty God and 100% natural!
Making the Switch:
The dictionary defines the word toxic as poison.
Who has the time to decipher all these manmade toxins and made-up names? Furthermore, why are we “cleaning” our house with poison?
Manmade toxic cleaners wreak havoc on our health, planet and its ecosystems. Once exposed, they can cause all sorts of problems for people. Some of these problems include damaged reproductive health, hormone imbalances, endocrine disruptions, respiratory issues and much more.
In addition to all that, these cringeworthy concoctions smell utterly loathsome.
It’s important to realize that toxins are capable of entering the blood stream.
For instance, when these chemical conglomerations are used to mop the floors, the paws of our beloved pets are exposed. Just think, our young children learn how to crawl on the floor. Let’s nix chemically saturated floors and make the switch to homemade non-toxic cleaners.
While it does appear that chemicals are virtually everywhere in this modern age, we can certainly take steps to reduce exposure. Especially in our own homes.
So, out with the old chemicals and in with the new all-purpose non-toxic cleaner! Make the switch!
All-Purpose Non-toxic Cleaner:
This might sound like a lot of bad news but conversely, its actually good news. Whenever we learn about something we do not like or do not want to partake in, we have the ability to reject it and change course.
It’s simple, the fact of the matter is that we already have the solutions waiting for us. We need only to make the changes before we can reap the benefits.
Supplies:
32 oz Spray Bottle (Made in the U.S.A)
Stainless Steel Measuring Cups (American)
Stainless Steel Funnel
Ingredients:
Alcohol:
We use rubbing alcohol due to its very strong antiseptic and sanitizing capabilities. This is the perfect addition for a homemade cleansing solution.
Vinegar:
We like to use distilled white vinegar for our non-toxic cleaner. A one-gallon container does not cost much and it lasts a long time. Vinegar is a natural preservative.
Water:
Filtered, spring or distilled water are the best options. Avoid using unfiltered municipal water supplies, as they most likely contain less than favorable elements.
Daily Bible Verse:
Colossians 3:23 – And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

How to Make Non-toxic Cleaner:
First step to making this all-purpose cleaner is to gather the supplies and place the funnel into uncapped spray bottle.
Second step is to pour in the alcohol, vinegar and water into the spray bottle via funnel.
After bottle has been filled, securely place nozzle head back on spray bottle. Give the bottle a gentle shake to blend ingredients.
Solution is ready to use! So finally, spray on surfaces and wipe for a clean environment.

super easy i love this thanks! does adding a few drops of essential oils for a better scent hinder the cleaning properties?
Hi Zoe! You can definitely add essential oils. It would add additional cleaning properties to the mix and make the smell very pleasant!

I’ve been using distilled white vinegar and distilled water as my all purpose cleaner, but I was starting to doubt it’s cleaning power. I like the idea of adding some alcohol. I will try that!
