  There are some people who cannot afford or are unwilling just to hire cleaning services in Nashville. Many of us still opt to do it yourself especially if the budget is tight. Homemade cleaners can save you money while also making you feel like a scientist. There are numerous additional ways to make homemade cleaners for just about every surface in your home, including using vinegar and baking soda to remove stains or scrub away the debris.

   

  Here are five DIY alternatives to your favorite household cleaners.

   

  1. All-purpose cleaning solution

  An all-purpose cleaner, which is useful for cleaning up after supper or wiping down the garbage can, is a must-have in any house cleaning kit. While vinegar and water make a terrific all-purpose cleaner, consider preparing a scented version to freshen up the entire house.

   

  • Combine one part of distilled white vinegar and one part of the water in a spray container.

  • For a pleasant aroma, combine fresh rosemary with citrus peels such as lemon or orange.

  • To blend the ingredients, tighten the nozzle cap and shake the bottle.

  • Allow one week for the rosemary and citrus peels to steep before using your all-purpose cleanser.

   

  2. Glass Cleaner

  A streak-free sheen should be the goal while producing a DIY glass cleaner. Rubbing alcohol is one of the secrets to accomplishing this, as it helps your DIY cleaning solution evaporate fast rather than remain on the surface and form streaks or wet spots.

   

  • Fill a spray bottle halfway with rubbing alcohol.

  • 3 tablespoons white distilled vinegar

  • 1 cup pure water should fill the rest of the bottle. To combine the ingredients, tighten the nozzle and shake gently.

  • Spray the solution on the windows and wipe them down with a clean towel.

  • Because rubbing alcohol is flammable, keep it in a cool, dry place.

   

  3. Mopping Solution

  Even for flooring, vinegar is an efficient cleaning remedy. You don’t have to wait for the cleaning lady to mop the floor effectively. To clean and disinfect your floors, mix one cup of vinegar with one pail of warm water. For a pleasant smell, add a few drops of your favorite essential oils.

   

  4. Toilet Cleaner

  Toilets are one of the dirtiest areas in your home, yet you can't clean them with a pumice stone every week because it can damage your porcelain. For this nasty chore, you can have a cleaning lady do it for you using homemade toilet cleaners that are surprisingly effective. Fill the toilet bowl with two denture pills. They can kill bacteria as they disintegrate. When the fizzing stops, scrape the toilet bowl with a toilet scrubber to eliminate hard water stains.

   

  Soda is another unusual toilet cleaning. You can pour cola around the toilet bowl's edges and leave it overnight. Simply flush the toilet in the morning and admire the gleam.

   

  5. Refrigerator Cleaner

  If your crisper drawer resembles a cemetery of neglected spinach rather than a repository for fresh produce, it's definitely time to clean it out. Fortunately, making cleaners that can handle any culinary spills is simple which you can do during your regular house cleaning schedules.

   

  • To make saltwater, dissolve 1 cup of salt in 1 gallon of warm water. 

  • Soak a clean towel in the saltwater, then wipe the interior of the fridge with it.

   

  Baking soda is an excellent odor neutralizer, making it an ideal contender for cleaning out the refrigerator. 

  • 1 quart boiling water + 2 teaspoons baking soda, then wipe down the fridge with a cloth dipped in the solution. 

  • Rinse the baking soda solution with a clean, moist cloth. Finally, use a clean towel to dry.
