3 Ways to Make and Use Your Own Household Cleaner

When life gives you lemons, make a home cleaning solution. Do it when life gives you vinegar and dish soap, too. According to Sonora Refillery owner Marissa Figueroa, these three ingredients—and a little patience—are all you need to jump-start your cleaning routine.

“A big mistake people make is not letting the cleaner soak in,” Figueroa says. “We’re all in such a hurry. Even the store brands filled with chemicals have a suggested soak time to allow the product to soften up grime. Take a breath, focus on something else, and circle back around.”

Figueroa shares three easy ways to apply these everyday ingredients, along with a few other helpful pointers to keep your space shining!
