I have been making my own homemade cleaning supplies for a few years now. Initially, I started making them as I wanted a reusable solution for wipes. I found wipes convenient to quickly clean up messes and dust, but it didn’t sit well with me that they were adding to the landfill. So I created my own homemade reusable antibacterial wipes, which I absolutely love. They are super easy to make, effective and clean just about every surface, wall, oven stove top, fridge handles, benchtops and more.
My hubby and kids have sensitive skin. They have psoriasis and eczema and I find some commercial products can irritate their eyes and skin. So over the past few years, I have started to reduce the number of chemicals I use around the home, replacing most of my commercial products with homemade versions. Not only do I find them effective, but I am saving so much money by making my own cleaning supplies.
I know so many in my community love my recipes so I have created The Organised Housewife DIY Homemade Cleaning Recipes eBook as a convenient, easy and practical reference if you are interested in saving money and reducing chemicals and toxins in your home by making your own cleaning products.

Thanks for sharing cleaning tips
Hi Katrina,
Just wondering if you have a recipe for keeping towels fluffy and soft, without putting them in the dryer?
I use vinegar instead of fabric softener and hang them out in the sun to dry . 🙂
Hello Katrina,
Would you have homemade cleaning recipes book on a paperback copy?
Regards,
Lidia
Hi Lidia, no, I’m sorry, it is only available as a e-book. You could print it out if you prefer a paper copy? Kat x
HELLO KATRINA,
IS THERE ANYTHING I COULD USE TO HELP MY VACUUM CLENER SMELL FRESH. I ALWAYS EMPTY IT AFTER EVERY USE WIPE IT OUT BUT I STILL CANNOT HAVING IT SMELLING FRESH THANKS ? TERESA
First check your manual for instructions on which parts are safe to wash. If your vacuum is bagless, empty and wash out the canister in warm soapy water and completely air dry. If your vacuum has a bag, a replacement should do the trick. Cleaning the filter, brush heads, hose and exterior should help! Let me know if this does the trick for you.
