5 Cheap DIY Bathroom Cleaners
With just a few simple, non-toxic, and biodegradable ingredients, you can keep your bathroom fresh and sparkling naturally. These DIY cleaners will help you save money and keep your bathroom free of any unfamiliar chemicals
Here are five DIY bathroom cleaner recipes:
Tub and tile cleaner recipe
To make an effective tub and tile cleaner, mix 1/2 cup of dish soap with 1 1/2 cups of vinegar in a glass bottle, leaving some room for 25-30 drops of essential oils. Shake gently to combine. Spray the mixture on shower surfaces, tub, tile, faucets, and glass shower doors, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Scrub if necessary and then rinse with hot water.
Toilet bowl cleaner recipe
DIY toilet natural cleaners use simple pantry ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide, and take around 15 minutes to make. Start by mixing baking soda and citric acid in a large bowl, and vinegar and hydrogen peroxide in a smaller bowl. Gradually combine the two mixtures, add your favorite essential oils, and let the mixture set in silicone molds for 6 hours or overnight. Once they harden, you can drop them in the toilet bowl.

Glass cleaner recipe
To make a vinegar-based glass cleaner, fill a clean spray bottle with equal parts white vinegar and distilled water. Add about 10 drops of your favorite essential oil to reduce the vinegar smell and shake well to mix. When cleaning, use a lint-free cloth or newspaper, starting at the top to avoid drips. For mirrors, spritz the cloth instead of the mirror to prevent frame damage. If you are using newspapers, use only black-and-white newsprint to avoid ink bleeding.
Bathroom drain cleaner recipe
You can tackle that clogged drain in your shower with a simple drain cleaner solution using baking soda and vinegar. Just pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of vinegar. Plug the drain and let it sit for an hour, then flush it with a pot of boiling water. Repeat if needed, and you'll be back to enjoying a clog-free shower.
Soap scum remover recipe
To make a homemade soap scum remover, mix 1 cup of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a microwave-safe bowl, then heat it for 2 minutes and stir until it turns into a gel. Pour 2 tablespoons of dish soap into a reusable spray bottle, add the vinegar-cornstarch gel, and shake gently. Spray the mixture onto the tub or shower walls, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse off with hot water.
