As the first day of spring arrives, what better time than now to whip up some natural cleaners for a little spring cleaning? These are non-toxic so there are no harmful fumes or toxic residues, and if you have little ones you don’t have to worry about accidental poisoning. They are also better for the environment, as they are biodegradable and reduce plastic waste. Here are three easy-to-make, natural home cleaners.

Citrus-Infused All-Purpose Cleaner

1. Fill a jar with citrus peels of your choice.
2. Cover the peels with white vinegar.
3. Let the mixture sit for 2 to 4 weeks.
4. Strain the liquid and dilute it by combining equal parts of the citrus-vinegar solution and water into a spray bottle.

Toilet Bowl Cleaner

1. Sprinkle a quarter cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl.
2. Add a quarter cup of white vinegar.
3. Let the mixture fizz for 15 minutes. Optional: Add a few drops of tea tree essential oil for additional antibacterial effectiveness.
4. Scrub with a toilet brush and flush.

Glass and Mirror Cleaner

1. Combine 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of white vinegar. Optional: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a pleasant scent.
