6 Natural DIY Bathroom Cleaning Solutions
Oh, a dirty bathroom. It's a grimy, smelly, dirty space that we've been conditioned to clean with chemicals. But, listen up: you don't need bleach to get a germ-free space. Instead of reaching for that classic jug the next time your bathroom needs a refresher, keep it in the cupboard and grab these all-natural solutions in its place. From distilled white vinegar and lavender essential oil, to vodka and baking soda, you can mix together familiar products that will battle everything from mildew to mold. Here are 6 options to use when you want to a clean bathroom without the harsh chemicals.
But First, Convenience
Store-bought cleaning wipes are popular for a good reason: they offer cleanliness and convenience. But, major downside, they're full of chemicals. What's the only real solution? Make your own reusable bathroom cleaning wipes that have all of the convenience and cleanliness of their store-bought counterparts, but help your budget and your health.
Go Back to Basics on Your Floors

When you make this baking soda and vinegar cleaner, you've got the two ingredients you need to clean and remove stains easily — no sweat required. Plus, the essential oil additions make for a fresh, smile-inducing scent.
Keep Your Toilet Clean in a Flash
