  • 100 ml of vinegar,
  • 5-10 drops of essential oil of your favorite fragrance (optional addition, which affects only the smell of the resulting specific, not on its effectiveness).

What to keep in mind when making a homemade kitchen cleaner?

Remember not to use tap water. Tap water contains a lot of minerals that can leave residue on the surface when sprayed, which defeats the purpose of using a household cleaner.

If the smell of alcohol or vinegar bothers you, you can use for example more water, use more essential oil in the form of a few extra drops or use apple cider vinegar instead of spirit vinegar. If you want to increase the cleaning properties of your homemade remedy, you can add a drop of dishwashing liquid or liquid soap to the prepared substance

The addition of alcohol allows for effective disinfection, allows grease and other dirt to dissolve, and gives the desired shine to the cleaned surfaces.

Essential oils primarily add fragrance. However, some can allow for additional properties. For example, peppermint, clove, lavender or patchouli oils will allow you to effectively repel insects. Lemon oil, on the other hand, has a degreasing effect, and tea tree oil or eucalyptus oil have antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties.

By combining these ingredients into one substance, you get a homemade kitchen cleaner that will surprise you with its level of effectiveness. Thanks to it, you will remove dirt and additionally disinfect the surface.
