Pour ½ cup of baking soda and about 10 drops of tea tree essential oil into the toilet. Add ¼ cup of vinegar to the bowl and scrub away while the mixture fizzes.

For daily cleaning, fill a small spray bottle with vinegar (about 1 cup should do it) and a few drops of an essential oil of your choosing (lemon and tea tree both work well). Spray on the toilet seats, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe the surface clean.

OR VINEGAR FREE:

In a shallow bowl, mix together a squirt of biodegradable dish soap (Seventh Generation works well) with two teaspoons of lemon juice.
 Add baking soda slowly until it creates a paste.

Use this paste on showers, toilets, and sinks. Apply it using a scrubby brush or a sponge. You can also let this solution sit overnight to get out the really tough stains.





To get rid of mildew, spray pure white vinegar on the offending area, let it sit for at least 30 minutes, and then rinse with warm water ( use a sponge if rinsing doesn’t clear away  mildew on its own). Alternatively, try mixing together baking soda with a bit of liquid castile soap, then scrub and rinse.

For daily cleaning or to get rid of soap scum, mix 1 part water with 1 part vinegar (and a few drops of essential oils if you’re not into the smell of vinegar) in a spray bottle. Spray, let it sit for at least several minutes, and then wipe away.

Just mix 2 cups of water, 3 tablespoons of liquid soap, and 20-30 drops of tea tree oil. 

a mason jar with sprouting lid, Baking Soda and Essential Oil of choice (I used peppermint). Fill your jar about ¼ of the way with baking soda and mix in 5-10 drops of essential oil, depending on how strong you’d like the scent to be. Screw the sprouting lid onto your mason jar and place the jar in any room where the air needs a bit of freshening up! Give the jar a little shake from side to side every so often. For bad-smelling carpets, you can also sprinkle a bit on your carpet, wait an hour, and vaccuum it up! 

Mix together liquid castile soap (ingredients: saponified organic olive, coconut and sunflower oils, organic aloe vera, organic shea butter, natural rosemary extract and citric acid) and water (and an essential oil if you feel like it) in a foaming soap dispenser. Fill about one fifth of the bottle with soap, then top it off with water.



 Mix  ¼ c. rubbing alcohol, ¼ c. white vinegar, 1 tbsp. cornstarch, and 2 c. of warm water in a spray bottle.
    Shake everything up until the cornstarch is dissolved.
    To make sure your glass stays extra shiny, use a newspaper instead of a paper towel or cloth to wipe it down with. The newspaper doesn’t leave any lint and leaves a perfectly clear shine.

Use a a lemon! Cut it in half, run it over the surfaces, let sit for ten minutes, and then rinse away. If you need some serious scrubbing power, sprinkle some coarse or Kosher salt over the board, and then rub with ½ a lemon.

Add some lemon juice to the rinse cycle.

Simply rub it with toothpaste and a soft cloth, rinse it with warm water, and allow it air to dry.
