Many cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that are not environmentally friendly to create or dispose of and can affect your health. To create an effective, safe, and environmentally friendly cleaning solution for many surfaces, such as glass, tile, wood, and laminate, combine ½ cup of distilled white vinegar with 2 cups of water and a few drops of your favourite essential oil or a squeeze of lemon for scent. This homemade cleaning solution is healthier for you and better for the environment.
