Natural Home Cleaning Products: Bathroom Edition

Welcome to my journey of natural and homemade products. In this post, I have all of my natural home cleaning products you can use for the bathroom plus, a free PDF download of all of the products listed.

I have a two-bath house, so I make up my natural home cleaning products for both bathrooms and keep them under the bathroom sinks. This way, I have easy access to them, and it is less time consuming to clean, when I don’t have to run to the other bathroom to grab the products I need.

I reuse old spray bottles for most of my cleaning products, or if I’m out of old spray bottles, I go to the dollar store and buy cheap, spray bottles from there. I have found that labeling them with a sharpie works best instead of trying to apply a label to them that will probably get wet and come off, unless you want to spend the money to buy waterproof labels, but I’m all about saving money, so a sharpie works for me.

All-In-One Bathroom Cleaner

• • 2 cups warm water

• • 1 tbsp baking soda

• • 2 tbsp castile soap

• • 20 drops essential oils

Add water and baking soda to a spray bottle. Shake to combine. Add castile soap and essential oils (see below), shake to combine. Before use, shake the bottle and allow the solution to sit on the surface 1 minute before wiping away.

I use this cleaner to clean my bathroom counters and outside of the toilets. It doesn’t have an overpowering chemical smell to it, which is a major plus, and it cleans very well.

Mirror Spray

• • 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar

• • 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol

This mirror spray is streak free, and the best mirror spray I have found, yet.

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and use a tbsp to scoop up mix and place onto parchment paper. If tabs are too dry or crumbly, spritz with water to help them stick together. Allow to air dry overnight. When dry, store in an airtight container. When ready to use, throw one into your toilet bowl and let it sit until the foam as stopped.
