How to Make a Homemade Natural Cleanser Without Perfume or Dye at Home

Make your own natural cleaner using a few basic household supplies.

When you are allergic to synthetic chemicals such as artificial perfumes and dyes, using a chemical-based cleanser in your home can aggravate your allergies. Although you can buy natural cleansers from a health food store, these can often be pricey. One solution is to make your own natural cleanser using ingredients that you can find right in your kitchen. This enables you to clean your home naturally, without spending a lot of money in the process.

Things You'll Need

• Empty spray bottle
• Funnel
• White distilled vinegar
• Baking soda
• Essential oil, lemon

Instructions

1. Take the top off of an empty spray bottle and set it aside.

2. Insert a funnel into the opening of the spray bottle. Select a funnel that has a spout that fits perfectly into the opening of the bottle.

3. Fill the bottle 25 percent with white distilled vinegar. Pour in 1/4 cup baking soda. A chemical reaction will result, causing foam to build inside the spray bottle. Allow the mixture to sit for five minutes to allow the foam to settle.

4. Fill the bottle halfway full with more white vinegar. Add 1 tsp. lemon essential oil.

5. Remove the funnel from the spray bottle and screw the top back onto the bottle. Shake well before use.
