Our kitchen is really small and so the one counter needs to be cleaned a lot. It makes me super nervous to have all of those chemicals on the counter with my food and so I was trying to always have another surface between the food and the counter. Totally annoying.
When we were running low on our chemical cleaner, I decided to check out a recipe for all purpose cleaner and I found one repeated a lot and now I’ll share it with you.

All Purpose Cleaner
1 cup vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup water
drops of lemon essential oil (I like how fresh lemon smells, but another oil would work too)
I added a lot of essential oil to counteract the vinegar smell and it seems to work nicely. I no longer worry about the chemicals on the counters and it is fabulous.
Win! There are a few other cleaning recipes I’ve been trying, and I’m most excited about the deodorant and the dish washer detergent, but I want to use them for a few weeks first. So as I check them out I will share them with you.
