Life Hack: How to make your own cleaning products for windows, toilets and more

Step away from the bleach and try making some DIY natural cleaning products to use around your home instead.

Window cleaner 

If you’re looking for an alternative product to get glistening windows, it’s easy to make something from common household products. You may notice shop-bought window cleaners boast the presence of vinegar as a powerful cleaning tool. Unsurprisingly, our natural cleaner contains white vinegar to cut through dirt and grease. Mix one-quarter of a cup of white vinegar with a half teaspoon of washing-up liquid and dilute it with two cups of water. Add the mixture to a spray bottle. Shake the bottle to ensure the solution mixes thoroughly. If you don’t like the smell of vinegar, add a few drops of essential oil to mask the scent. Spray on your windows and glass surfaces and clean as usual.
