Scrubbing Bubbles? Hardwood floor cleaner? Kitchen counter spray? Toss ‘em all and try these homemade cleaning products, instead.

Why DIY your cleaning supplies? First of all, the ones you buy at the store are expensive, and we know you’d rather spend your money on fancy avocado toast and spa vacations (duh). They also take up tons of cabinet space, and if you live in a city, that’s a major issue.

The most important reason: traditional cleaning products are filled with chemicals. Some are associated with negative health effects; others are un- (or at least way under-) tested for long-term safety. In other words, if you can avoid them, why not?

Will they cut through the worst grime build-ups and fill your house with an artificial scent that denotes “clean”? No. But in most scenarios, all you need is to wipe away a little dirt and bacteria and get on with your day.
