Making your own all natural cleaners that work incredibly well is much easier than you may think.  It doesn't take special equipment, you can use a measuring cup if you don't have a scale and the measurement does not have to be precise.  You cannot fail at these recipes. Use essential oils you have on hand or use our discount essential oils to make it even more economical.  These cleaners are safe for pets, babies, children, the elderly and can be tailored to suit how strong you want the smell and what scents you like. 

You can tailor them for the what you want to use them for by using different essential oils.  For instance to:
