Here’s a recipe for an all purpose, safe and environmentally friendly cleaner. Most all purpose cleaners contain a number of harsh chemicals which are dangerous to both your health and the environment. Theres no need to expose yourself to something like that when there is a completely safe and eco-friendly way of going about it.

Alternative All Purpose Cleaner Recipe

What you’ll need here are a few simple items that you probably have lying around the house anyways. A spray bottle, some borax, some lemon juice and a bit of hot water. Gather everything up and mix them like this:

Lemon-scented all-purpose cleaner
1 tbsp borax
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup hot water

This natural cleaner is useful when cleaning surfaces in any room. I find it particularly useful when cleaning bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Don’t save any leftovers once you are finished…simply discard it and make a fresh bottle next time.
