Herbs & Citrus for a Cleaner Home: 3 Natural Recipes That Actually Work

If you've ever squinted at the label of a store-bought cleaner and thought, "Wait...what is that ingredient?" - you're not alone. That's exactly where I was a few years ago. With a little one, pets, and a home that gets messy fast, I needed natural solutions that weren't just Pinterest-pretty - I needed them to work.

So, I went back to the basics: herbs, citrus, vinegar, and a little apothecary magic!

Nature's Cleaning Power

Let's take a peek inside the herbal toolkit:

• Lemon & Orange Peel: Naturally high in d-limonene, which breaks down grease and freshens the air

• Sage & Rosemary: These are antimicrobial powerhouses that help tackle bacteria naturally.

• Lavender & Lemon Balm: Calm the mind while gently purifying surfaces - especially helpful for bedroom or bathroom use

• Vinegar & Baking Soda: The classic duo. Vinegar cuts through grime and dissolved mineral buildup. Baking soda scrubs and deodorizes

We combine these with plant-based boosters (like witch hazel) to make each recipe not only safe - but effective.

These aren't just cute countertop cleaners. These are hard-working, herbal-powered tools for a cleaner, safer home. Grab the printable versions for full step-by-step instructions!
