7 EXPERT CLEANING TIPS YOU NEED TO BE USING: th-cam.com/video/-C-ic2H24OU/w-d-xo.html
4:39 all-purpose cleaner
5:14 soap scum buster
5:56 glass & mirror cleaner
6:49 linen spray
7:47 fridge cleaner
8:33 scented vinegar
9:36 floor cleaner
my linen spray that i use helps to disinfect anti bac my bed and mattress, 1 part water to 1 part witch hazel and then 10 drops lavender and 10 drops tea tree. (can halve the lavebeer and add 5 drops mint) this kills dust mites, mould and that bed smell! refreshes my bed in between the changes and when I strip the bed I spray it all over the mattresses and pillows to air dry! Its a beautiful smell and so nice to burrow into at night!
I also use a fine spray bottle, like an empty cosmetics spray bottle or something like that to ensure I'm not saturating everything!
Love it!!! Thanks for sharing Joy!
Joy Walsh thankyou for sharing. im am definitely doing this
Joy Walsh thanks for this one, fresh is always awsome.. ugh i hate any kinda nasty bugs.
Joy Walsh Thank you so much for sharing!!!
My favorite cleaner can be used on everything. This is the recipe - 1cup water
1cup alcohol
1cup vinegar
1 cup peroxide
1 tsp DAWN ( original )
put into dark colored spray bottle ( has to keep light out to keep peroxide active) not the clear or white, the must be colored enough to keep light out. This great it will clean everything plus it is very antimicrobial and anti smell. thank for the essential oil video this is going to help my cleaner
What type of alcohol 🍷is it rubbing alcohol?
Also. My husband owns a Window Cleaning Company (30 years) and they use dish soap and water... about like you would use to wash dishes. He insists on Dawn, but I secretly think it doesn't matter. The dawn cleans the glass and as long as you get it dry and no lint (obviously we use squeegees) but old t-shirts do nicely. Also--the dish soap leaves surfactant on the glass which prevents/slows fogging.
@Emily Myrick best to use it just for cleaning windows then!
I always rinse my washing up items very well (and live in uk so we don't get 'Dawn' here) I use Ecover washing-up liquid, but 'Fairy' is best for cleaning jobs (it's probably the same as 'Dawn'...😃)
Could you do a print out of your formulas to make up the sprays with essentials like a recipe book for housecleaning
Peppermint oil also repels insects, especially ants.
Good one!! Thanks for sharing Marcia!
Marcia Bentley I have a massive ant problem I will definitely be getting some today .. thanks
Marcia Bentley are you sure ants? I've heard spiders but not sure ants- have you tried it?
I've heard ants, spiders, aphids and a few other insects as well. Just Google "peppermint oil uses" and you'll find a lot.
My ants love it...
Since I started cleaning with vinegar, I started to kind of like the smell. Now it's a scent I associate with clean! Anyone else?
Chad likes the smell too!!
I love the smell of white vinegar & use it for most of my cleaning including laundry & cleaning the coffee maker.
Clean My Space Me too! 😊
Mallory M Same, I just started using vinegar for cleaning earlier this year..and I love it. The scent definitely grew on me.
To me, the "clean smell" is anything with vinegar, rubbing alcohol or tea tree EO. Oh! and the lemon/lavender EO mix I use in my GIY fabric softener (vinegar + EO).
You should not use rubbing alcohol on hard wood floor! It is very strong and it might look good for a few days but the more you use it it will damage your hard wood floor wiping away the protective Venire it has on it.
if I clean with grapefruit oil I get totally invigerated and just keep going!
Such a refreshing scent, right?!
Grapefruit is my favorite citrus scent.
Clean My Spac
pe
@@cleanmyspace it's good to cope with depression as well.
Grapefruit pink?
When I am drying bedding or sleeping garments in the dryer, I add a warm wet wash cloth with 15-20 drops of lavender essential oils to the dryer. Then after the clothes are dry, I take the wash cloth and put it in my night stand to smell while I'll falling asleep. Love it.
That's actually a good idea!
Lavender stinks
I LOLd at your sign that said clean house no fights! it's so true. since my partner and I started a daily and weekly cleaning routine the fights just seemed to stop. You're basically part SME, part relationship counselor. :)
you have to be careful with certain oils around pets but I love using lavendar. I have ocd and it helps to keep me calm and reassure me everything us clean.
I have used Dr. Bronners since my old Hippie days. It smells super, cleans great and you can even bathe with it. I know it's not home made but it certainly deserves a mention. And I've used vinegar for years. So Ms. Queen of Clean I am tickled pink you have brought it to the masses. Now alcohol. Thanks. I pour a little in the toilet every night. Then I use my Lysol wipes on sink & toilet everyday. Luv y'all.
Thank you for this video Melissa! I really enjoyed it 😊. A couple of questions: Do you use distilled water or regular tap water in your DIY cleaners? Does it matter? I REALLY LOVE the "clean laundry" scent, or fragrance, if you will; is there an essential oil or essential oil blend that will replicate that smell for me? Many thanks in advance 😊
I noticed a beautiful cat in your video. If you care about your cat, you'd better do your research about the danger that certain essential oils pose for your pets. I think it's pretty irresponsible of you to recommend all of these essential oils to people who may be unaware of how dangerous they can be to their animals.
I put 1quarter cup of vinegar in the wash cycle with the detergent...clothes come out smelling so fresh... love to also clean house with vinegar/water smells at first but smell goes away very fast...
I substitute vanilla oil in place of the citrus you used. My guest are so confused on how amazing my frig smells. 🤗🤠
"Frig". Fridge?
I wish the recipes were in the description box 😔
We are making an article on CleanMySpace.com which will have all the recipes - hang tight!
In the meantime, you can go to cleanmyspace.com and use the search box. It will bring up the posts and/or videos containing that item. Example, if you enter linen spray it will bring up all of the videos showing or discussing linen spray. Usually, the specific video of the recipe is listed first. Of course, you can also purchase her book, it's great!! Hope this helps!
Clean My Space thanks so much. I just went to the dollar store and got extra spray bottles and labels. I stocked up on extra gallons of vinegar, baking soda, isopropyl alcohol , essential oils, a big bottle of dish washing liquid. I am all set.
How hard is her recipe to remember? Better yet, write as she's giving the recipe. There are only a couple of ingredients.
Wow! Are you opening a cleaning business, if so, I live in Dade County, FL.
I love your diy recipes! I am a proud owner of your book and was making your toilet bowl cleaner. Unfortunately I used the wrong ingredients. A little back story, I had a huge container of baking powder that I had for several years. I Googled what to do with old baking powder, it said baking powder is the same as baking soda except with a couple added ingredients added and old powder could be used like soda because it would be too old for baking. An exception would be when making DIY toilet bowl cleaner. Whatever is in baking powder did not mix with the other ingredients and I had an explosion that rivaled a Mt St Helens all over my kitchen and me. So I learned my lesson, do not substitute ingredients!
White vinegar has been a long-held family cleaner--my great grandmother, grandmother, mother...Old wood floors, dirty wood furniture (diluted, of course), laundry, cutting boards, etc. it's great to see Melissa, that you're using the wisdom of our elders!
I think this is my favorite video from Clean My Space! Thanks!!
Almost all of these are toxic to cats!!!!! 🙀🚫
I wish videos that promoted essential oils for any purpose would let ppl know to look into that if they have pets. The list varies between cats and dogs.
How do I find out which oil is pet friendly? I remember one of your old videos talking about it but I can't find it anymore.
Melissa, when you use the all purpose cleaner with s small amount of dish soap, do you need to rinse afterwards? Thanks!
I always thought my vinegar, water, tea tree and peppermint oil was a CLEANER. I've learned now it's a disinfectant. No wonder why it does such a crappy job at the grease on my counters!
You should add dish soap to the mix. :-* ~Netta
Great video as always! I wanted to mention that you might want to research using essential oil around cats. I saw kitty on the bed :). (I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, and i am a certified aromatherpist). Dogs and cats process things differently from people and dogs have limits with essential oils too, but The feline liver works differently and they often can't process essential oils since the oils are about 70% stronger than the actual plants. Some oils are worse than others but all have cautions with cats just like with kids and we elderly. Dogs also have limits with essentials oils. I do use my oils all the time but make sure kitties, and dogs, are in the other room and don't let them in a room where I diffuse.
I use Thieves Cleaner from Young Living. It is a concentrate. A bottle lasts a long time. The spicy scent of Thieves leaves my house smelling very clean.
I have saved 2 small old glass white vinegar bottles and I add lemon & orange peel in them with vinegar. Let them infuse for a week or two before first use. They cut the smell and add citrusy touch to it. Use that to replace regular vinegar in the cleaning process.
First of all, I LOVE your channel! I do have a question though. Wasn't there a time when you suggested putting corn starch in your mirror/glass cleaner? Is that something you'd still recommend or is the solution you mentioned in this video just as effective?
Great video! Essential oils are wonderful.
We have more essential oil videos coming up!
Melinda Watson Copper chef how to clean the bottom you tub
Melissa! what kind of spin mop is that? And would you recommend it?
Rosemarie Rosiek- Redman it's called O-Cedar. Thank you for sending me that link! :)
When you use your all purpose cleaner - water, dish soap and oil, do you need to rinse the stone? Wondered if the soap leaves a residue. Thanks!
First!!
Clean My Space second girl!
Clean My Space haha 😂
One thing I discovered this week, due to complete despair: Nail polish remover deals with really hard to shift dirt on fake leather.
I bought an used armchair in light grey fake leather, in the skirt of the armchair, close to the floor, there were stains that resisted soap, gritty kitchen cleaner, but as a last resort I tried nail polish remover on an inconspicuous spot and it worked. I managed to remove all the stains - it looks like someone waxed the floors and the bottom of the chair - the fabric seems fine.
I got a little polish remover on my chair while doing my nails and it weakened the fake leather which has now peeled. I suggest caution!
Sue, thanks. I try to clean things starting from the weakest product going on to the strongest. The dirt in this chair resisted baking soda and detergent, then a "barkeepers friend" similar product. The nail polish remover was a last resort. It's been at least a month and the fake leather is still holding.
Shouldn't you make the recipes in dark bottles so light can't penetrate? The first recipe you made was a clear bottle! Is that a myth or doesn't the oil's properties break down when exposed to light?
You are right (at least based on all my research)..... I make mine in darker amber bottles. I've made mixes in plastic bottles and the bottles actually seemed to appear melted after a while.
You are right, if you are planning on keeping the recipes in the bottles for a few days - however, if you're mixing it up to use right away (or at least same day) it doesn't really matter :) Thanks for watching!
Clean My Space Where do you get little dark glass bottles?
MrSlimpickenz I just bought my bottles on eBay.
I bought mine on Amazon..... I looked for the ones with a good rating and review... I don't think they are all created equally...lol
Love your channel, i have learned so much from you 😁
Hiii
Like you this video and have one quation.
How u clean your mop???
Your videos always inspire me to experiment with essential oils...this video is just awesome too !
My favourite diy is white vinager hot water coriander essential oil 12 d and 6 d curcuma essential oil, baking soda white vinager black soap are what i use in my house to clean
Love it!!! Thanks for sharing!
ok I got 2 containers with lids and a yard of flannel. Cut the flannel into wipes 10 by 10 inches or so and put all the wipes in one container with a mix of 50% water and 50% alcohol plus a dash of dish soap to make my own daily bathroom cleaning wipes the used wipes go in the empty container and into the wash. for something like 80 cents a month you have daily cleaning wipes and waist is limited to the bottle the alcohol came in.
i am certainly going to use these recipes. i have a few bottles of essential oil, so yes i will be cleaning cleaning
Woohoo! Thanks for watching!
Clean My Space hey does essential oils effect cats?
blackbutterfly233ify Yes, put the kitties in another room til it dries.
I love this video because I have a lot of essential oils so now I know how I should use them thanks💕
whoa, thats awesome
The Real LesSolitaire im trying this. thankyou
Absolutely love these tips. Never thought to use my essential oils for CLEANING! I'm making sure to pass this video on to a bunch of my friends. Thanks for the tips.
NOW essential oils that you are using are amazing quality! My favourites are their combinations Morning Sunshine and Cheer Up Buttercup!
Oh this is GREAT! Thanks!
Just moved into a fab place but lots of rain got me some ants.. ugh! Not one for chemicals, I researched (QUICKLY!!) safe ant spray. Half and half of 1/4 cup water and white vinegar plus 12 drops spearmint oils... PERFECTION! Sprayed all over..ants gone in minutes! So clean smelling and SAFE!💕
my favorite cleaning diy is vinegar and dawn dish soap for the shower and tub. my son even called before one of his room inspections (military) asked what I used to get the shower clean. I am hooked on micro clothes and vinegar now and love your videos
I bought your Clean My Space book. It is so thorough. I love choosing quick tidying to thorough cleaning, depending on my time. Thanks for the individual room checklists in the back. I appreciate your simple, homemade recipes. My daughter has several organic homemade recipes for cleaning, soaps, cooking. I still want to get this book for her so she has the total cleaning information. Thank you for showing me how to use the essential oils. I do not like lavendar, eucalpytus, tea tree oil. The only one I have found so far is grapefruit. I like fruity scents (and some of my perfume sensual scents, which are not that healthy). I wish there were more essential oil scent choices. Or am I looking in the wrong stores?
I am with you on lavender. It bothers my allergies terribly.
Sandra Whitfield, does she have all of her recipes in her Clean My Space book? or just some of them? curious. thanks!
amazing video, making use of all your tips on cleaning.
Carpet/Rug Cleaner - 1 cup baking soda w/20 drops of citrus essential oil of choice. Place mixture in a container w/a shaker lid and sprinkle the mixture where needed. Wait 10-15 mins then vacuum. Cleans and deodorizes.
Thank you for your great tips. I got this idea somewhere on TH-cam. I recycle and compost as much as possible, but I can't compost citrus peels in my worm composting bin (acidity will kill worms). So, I learned that putting the orange peels in vinegar for a month left the vinegar smelling wonderful for cleaning everything in my house. The vinegar also breaks down the peels so that I can put them in with my grass clippings and they break down faster. Keep motivating me with your cleaning tips, please ;--)
I could not believe how easy it was to get the grease off of the stovetop hood with the grapefruit and orange essential oils! Thank you!
I just use water with white vinegar and it degreases my stovetop & it makes it shiny clean too!
Loved this video! I'm getting more and more into making my own cleaning solutions. I have been loving a recipe I found for a Homemade Daily Shower Cleaner: 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide1/2 cup rubbing alcohol1 tsp dish soap1 Tbsp dishwasher rinse aid2 cups of water
Pour the peroxide, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, and rinse aid into a 24oz spray bottle. Then, fill the spray bottle the rest of the way with water. Replace the top of the spray bottle, and slowly tip the bottle back and forth to gently mix the ingredients. The hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol work together to help keep mildew at bay, and the soap and rinse aid fight soap scum.
I found this recipe on One Good Thing by Jillee!
I've used lavender essential oil in my laundry today, amazing! My apartment smells great :) Can I use it in my 20 mo baby daughter's clothes? Where can I find that kind of info? Thanks
COMMENT QUESTION: What's your favorite DIY cleaning recipe?
I normally use vinigar, clorax wipes, or a scrub with soap already in it. I don't usually use a recipe
Clean My Space I absolutely love the all purpose cleaner recipe you introduced us to! It works so well! Now I can't wait to try the shower cleaner from this video.
Clean My Space the classic all purpose cleaner that i learned from this channel!
I also like mixing vinegar water and dish soap in a spray bottle to up the game a little and it works great on our glass tables!
Vinegar, water and jasmine oil I don't measure 😂😫
Clean My Space Hot vinegar and dish soap. Cleaned my bathroom...SO GOOD!
The linen spray is fantastic. Not only does it smell good but if you are a caregiver for an Alzheimer's parent/patient, it calms them down immediately when they are upset, and it makes putting them to bed so easy! I had been using it for a while and then a friend of mine told me the nursing homes are now using lavender scented patches that they put on the wrists of Alzheimer's patients when they are aggravated and it calms them right down. Cuts down the need for drugs/restraints. I know your focus is on cleaning but I wanted to share because it has this added benefit for caregivers too! You have not only helped me keep my house cleaner while being a caregiver for my father, but my house smells great and he is calmer and happier since I started using the linen spray. I used it for cleaning and had no idea it would have that effect on him. Thank you for the ideas and knowledge you share with us. You have made a huge positive difference in my life and helped being a caregiver a little less stressful. I think you are awesome!
This week I swapped out my Barkeeper's Friend for straight up baking soda for scrubbing up my stainless steel sink. Worked just as well without the warning label!
Andie Dole yup I did the same thing 😀
You can add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to your baking soda too!
Yes, baking soda works well. I have used it for 30 years to clean fixtures and stove top.
Andie that may work on stainless steel or ceramic sinks but for porcelain it won't. Believe me I've tried lol Nothing beats BF for this, Bonami is good too. It's also good on acrylics.:o)
Hi Melissa, it's funny you mentioned the "Thieves", because I've been looking for it since Sophia from My Great Challenge mentioned it in one of her vlogs. Amazon likes to mess around with me while I'm searching 🙄🤔. My husband loves your foot powder, I love my insecticide concoction, but that baking soda and hydrogen peroxide combo really came in handy today!🙌🏽
Love mixing lemon grass essential oil, Castile soap and water and use it as a multipurpose cleaner
lindalatina33 I love lemon grass too!
No soap in your mop water?
You are fabulous, I love watching your videos with all the wonderful hints and tips. I also bought the Clean My Space book a few months ago .... Amazing! Thank you so much! : )
Do you have a good recipe for adding to a bath gel. Here in Texas we are exposed to dirty water after the floods. Especially for my feet! I'm new to essential oils! Thank you!
You know how I make my home smell amazing? Ask me after I ate 2 pounds of homemade bean stew.
i tried using water and lavender essential oil to clean my desk at work and it looks cleaner but i think i should have added soap to the mix based on your video. opps.
Couple of questions.. are essential oils safe around babies? I want to clean my babie's room with lavender. Also, the dryer ball thing, is it safe if the oil gets on the clothes and touches our skin? I head you have to have a "carrier oil" or something to make it safe for our skin. How long do the diy cleaners last before you need to make a new batch?
New Subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️ I’m so excited to clean my bathroom now. Thank you for all of the very informative videos. Btw, you’re gorgeous, girl!
Awesome video Melissa! I had to save this. I can't tolerate commercial cleaners because of my health. I've tried commercial non toxic cleaners/laundry detergents but they're too expensive. Being a d.i.y. girl I've always used vinegar and baking soda. I love your recipes. Tfs. Hugs-Kristina🤗
Melissa..Hi...love the essential oils.. I have used bleach and water for years...I know its not healthy...I want to get away from that... I need something that kills germs for my dish cloths..sponges..and my granite countertops..frig..microwave..and vinyl floors....thank you
1/4 cup of vodka for cleaning?? 😮😮😮😮 Can I use it as a breath freshener too?? 😂😂😂
I'd never have given it a thought to use vodka...of all things...potato juice 😂😂😂😂
Have been bingeing your channel all day (wet rainy day here in Aus, nice break from fires and smoke). Loving it!!!!!!!
I love watching your channel. This is probably one of my favorite videos yet! A question though, how long are the mixtures good for?
though it's not a cleaning recipe but it's a useful one! if you got mosquito bites, pour some baking soda on the bite and make it a paste with water, it will help prevent itching. :)
Can you do a daily and weekly clean with me pleaseeeee
I enjoyed this essential oils chat very much, thanks Melissa. I’m now looking for tips for cleaning metals, particularly copper pots and utensils and silver cutlery, what would you recommend? Thanks in advance.
Love this type of video. Peppermint and Rosemary is another favorite combo of mine. Using that in my bathroom now.
My husband is just getting over the flu and I'm a few days behind him. Today, Saturday, has been the worse. I thought I felt terrible Tues to Fri, oh no that was the preview! I don't care what I feel like on Sunday but that bed is getting stripped and disinfected! Hopefully I can get up early enough to clean the quilt and get it dried. Then spray the pillows and mattress with some combination of the mentioned oils. If I don't get the quilt washed, then I'll spray it as well. I'm planning on buying a new one in the sales anyway. I'll probably go with lavender, another floral and a citrus because it's my bed I don't want to use peppermint or anything to stimulating and yes I'll be adding lavender in the wash and making your linen spray. Thanks Melissa xxx
Hi there a tip I have learnt was with my vacuum cleaner filter. I can wash my filter in the washing machine and then once I'm going to put it back in the vacuum clear I add a few drops of cinnamon essential oil and a few drops of Orange essential oil ... Day 2-3 drops each. Absolutely divine. However I would like to ask do the essential oils sandalwood and cinnamon have any other particular advantages other than just smelling great. I would prefer using cinnamon essential oil in my linen spray if it would be beneficial?! Could you please advise. Thanks hun.
Love these ideas! I don't like the smell of lavender so I made a linen spray with water, witch hazel (I save my vodka for drinking😉) and 20 drops of lilac essential oils. Sheets smell so wonderful!
what can I use to polish wood surfaces instead of those commercial brand sprays?
Iriz Perez olive oil, vinegar, and lemon oil! it works really well
What are the measurements for the oil, vinegar, and lemon oil?
Iriz Perez hey you can use some coconut oil to polish and moisturise wood as it doesn't go rancid as olive oil does. But first you need to cut away any dirt before polishing with some all purpose cleaner. Vinegar and water work well as they are not too damaging to the wood. Hope this helps 👍❤️

Can any one suggest how to get rid of the musky smell that comes out of the AC unit? I only smell the musky smell when the cool air is blowing out and throughout the air-vents. Unfortunately, leaving behind the unpleasant smell behind. I have tried to add different essential oils to the filter hoping it would help mute the bad smell, but it doesn't last. I have called my land lord to have an AC technician to take a look for any leakage...again no solution. This smell, makes my clean house look dirty and hazardous to my health and family. Sending out an S.O.S to Clean My Space fans.
I currently use apple cider vinegar diluted in water to clean. I don't have EOs atm, but I hope to buy some soon. For air and sheet fresheners, I cheat and use Febreeze. It's the only thing I have right now marked as a commercial cleaning product (not including laundry soap and softener).
Can I use these oils to work with microfiber cloths, or will essential oils water break down the cloths? FOUND the answer with a lot of scrolling. The answer was YES! Does a "search" function exist on comments??
A great place to source your essential oils, containers or spray bottles, and some other cleaning product ingredients, is a Soap and Candle supply store. You can find high quality ingredients at lower prices and, if desired, in larger quantities. These kinds of stores are also great to source products for personal care such as skin care oils, floral waters, aloe vera gel, etc. I shop at www.voyageursoapandcandle.com and www.aquariusaroma-soap.com which are both based in the Lower-Mainland in British Columbia but, they both ship across Canada and Voyageur ships to the US, as well.
I've noticed a non-Dawn shaped dish soap bottle in this and other vids. What made you stray?
My tip is 3 parts Real Lemon brand lemon juice & 1 part oil. Shake well before use to dust electronics,furniture or anything that needs dusting. Repels dust & non oily!
I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I was fascinated by the scrub dish that you had on the sink, the elephant sponge holder, if you can share from where you got that , it will be helpful. Thank you

I have no problem with the vinigar smell, and it is easy to discuise. What bothers me is the very strong smell of rubbing alcohol. i find it difficult to mask the smell, even with 20 drops EO. Can i swop it out with vodka?
Andalucia pure Spanish olive oil Castile liquid soap is better and safe. Dr. Bronner‘ Castile soap is not good according to environmental working group.
I make a sanitizing spray using about 3/4 c. water 15 drops of orange oil and about 5 drops of peppermint. This was nice when house training our dog. We have purgo floors. it is also useful in the kitchen and bathroom countertops.
Not a cleaning recipe, but I love to use sage oil in your cleaning recipes. Love that scent!
Can you use the floor cleaner with the rubbing alcohol safely on hardwood floors? My home is mostly hardwood and I’d love to find a DIY soliton that smells great. The store bought cleaners are kinda overpowering!
I use lemon & pepperment oil in almost anything. I am a huge vinegar cleaner now
Greetings from Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Hello, What kind of Mop bust and Mop is that gray and red product you used in this video. I would want something just like it. I hope you can Please respond.
Hello from Finland;
I love your videos; you are qut and very capable in your field ,
I have question which I request you to give me a honest answer: but I can’t ask in a public section; please contact me in some way; I really need a guidance and you are the only one who could guid me.
Another great video from Clean my space, I am going to use essential oils to clean my home. Purdy and figg do lovely scented essential oil cleansers, i would like to see a cheaper version than having to rely on purdy and figg
I love this video so much! Uhhhhh! Have made a few of these already and can't wait to try some more now! All natural is the way to go!
Cup of baking soda plus essential oils in a clean parmesian shaker - shake onto the carpets, let sit for 30 minutes, vacuum. Great for keeping cat dander from getting into the air while you vacuum.
Do you have a DIY for a clothing wrinkle release spray? I really hate to iron and love my spray, but would rather make mine instead of buying one that I don't know what's in it.
Any advice on how to deodorize carpets? I know baking soda does the trick -- but I would like for it to leave a clean scent. I'm new to your channel so if you've already posted a video on this I apologize in advance.
How do you know it’s 100% essential oil? There are too many brands. Thank you Melissa, I hv learnt a lot in your u tube presentation in cleaning
Real hardwood floor cleaner! Use vinegar and olive oil along with essential oils. Nonna recipe and is AMAZING
Yeah I just get a regular spray bottle and mix 1/2 water 1/2 vinegar and spray my windows with that.
