A basic non-toxic all-purpose cleaner can be made at home with a few common ingredients, effective for most everyday cleaning needs.

The basic recipe

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, adding a few drops of dish soap for extra grease-cutting power.

Optional additions

A few drops of essential oil can add a pleasant scent, though it’s entirely optional for effectiveness.

What it works well on

General surfaces, countertops and light grease respond well to this basic mix.

What to avoid using it on

Avoid vinegar-based cleaners on natural stone like marble or granite, the acidity can etch the surface over time.
