Everyday All-Purpose Cleaner
One bottle that handles counters, sinks, and stovetops without a chemistry lesson. It takes about two minutes to mix, and it actually works.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner
- 10–15 drops lemongrass essential oil (optional)
Steps
- Add the water and vinegar to a clean spray bottle.
- Stir in the Sal Suds gently — don't shake hard or it'll foam up.
- Add essential oil if using, cap, and give it one gentle swirl.
- Spray on the surface, wipe with a damp cloth, and buff dry.
Storage
Room temperature, up to 3 months. Give it a swirl before each use.
⚠️ Safety notes
- Skip this one on marble, granite, and natural stone — vinegar etches them.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets; label the bottle.
These are household recipes, not food — never taste-test them. Label every bottle, keep mixtures away from children and pets, and never mix vinegar-based cleaners with hydrogen peroxide or bleach.
