I love to make up my own cleaning solutions as they are better for the environment and will save you money. I have popped my 5 favourite homemade cleaners below, all of these once made will last in your cleaning cupboard for up to 3 months.

I use glass spray bottles and label them.

Fabulous homemade Fabric Refresher 

• Fill your spray bottle with ¾ water 
• Add a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda 
• 20 drops of your favourite essential oils (you can mix these) 

If using to refresh your mattress i highly recommend adding lavender essential oil as this will help aid sleep.

Toilet Powder Cleaner 

• Add two scoops of bicarbonate of soda to a jug

Mix and then pour directly into your toilet.

You can also add the powder into ice cube tray to make toilet bombs and then add to a pretty jar in your bathroom.
