The Cleaning Superpower in Your Kitchen
As a busy mom of three rambunctious little ones, I’ve seen my fair share of messes – from grass-stained soccer uniforms to glitter-covered dance recitals. And let’s not forget the dreaded slime incident that nearly ruined our brand new carpet. But through it all, I’ve discovered a cleaning superpower that’s been a lifesaver: the miracle all-purpose cleaner right in my own kitchen.
Apartment Therapy taught me that the key to an amazing all-purpose cleaner is just a few simple ingredients: vinegar, lemon juice, dish soap, and a touch of rubbing alcohol. Who knew that the secret to a sparkling clean home was hiding under my sink the whole time?
The Recipe for Success
This homemade cleaning solution is truly a miracle worker. I keep a batch mixed up in a glass spray bottle at all times, ready to tackle any mess that comes my way. The vinegar cuts through grease and grime, while the lemon juice adds a fresh, invigorating scent. And the dish soap? That’s the real MVP, breaking down even the toughest stains.
Hearty Sol shared the perfect proportions for this cleaning powerhouse: one part each of vinegar and lemon juice, two parts dish soap, and a splash of rubbing alcohol for extra disinfecting power. I was skeptical at first, thinking there’s no way this homemade concoction could match the commercial cleaners. But boy, was I wrong!
