They are so pretty, and practical too! I guess I’m a sucker for anything that helps me be organized; these don’t cost much, but they keep me straight on what’s in which bottle, and how to make refills for my favorite cleaners (really handy because they’re so simple to make but I don’t have the instructions memorized yet). I really like them!

The bottles with the labels are perfect! Even my husband has been impressed with the shower cleaner. Now our shower doors are sparkling!

FINALLY!! Yep, you heard it right! I finally purchased the brown spray bottles + the stick-on recipes + the directions, and I’m a whole new kid!! I have “my act” together, and I’m ready to roll! I feel like half the cleaning projects are already complete! Don’t be jealous; just get yours in order, too!!

I love that the recipe label sticks right onto the bottle. Anyone in the family can make more when the bottle is empty! And they all learn how easy it is to make your own cleaning products at home.

My Top 7 Homemade Spray Cleaners
Click the linked title of each cleaner for more information.
1. All-Purpose Cleaning Spray
This all-purpose spray is my go-to cleaner for everyday tasks like wiping down countertops and cleaning up spills and splatters. It’s a gentle formula you can feel good about using around your home, but it’s tough enough to power through sticky, greasy messes, too!
2. Window & Mirror Cleaner
I’ve tried out many different formulas for window cleaners over the years, and while many of them worked okay, this particular window and mirror cleaner is by far the most effective. It cuts through greasy fingerprints with ease and keeps my mirrors and windows sparkling clean.
3. Granite Cleaner
Using the right cleaning formulas is a critical part of maintaining your granite or marble countertops, and this granite cleaner is one of them. It won’t etch or damage your stone countertops, but it will take care of tough grease and sticky messes!
4. Tub & Shower Cleaner
The first time I used this two-ingredient tub and shower cleaner, I was honestly shocked by how well it cut through stubborn soap scum and hard water stains. Not only will it leave your tub or shower gleaming, but it also works best when you let it sit for a while rather than relying on elbow grease.
5. Dusting Spray
Dusting is one of my least favorite chores, but at least this all-natural dusting spray makes the results of that hard work last longer. The formula features vinegar to cut through grime, a bit of olive oil for shine, and lemon essential oil to help kill germs and leave behind a fresh, clean scent!
6. Citrus Degreaser
Whether you’re cleaning up splatters on the stovetop or a spill at the bottom of your oven, reach for this citrus degreaser spray. This formula features grease-cutting lemon essential oil and castile soap, which work together to make even your greasiest cleaning tasks quick and easy.
7. Mold & Mildew Cleaner
Need help keeping mold and mildew at bay in a damp bathroom? This mold and mildew cleaning spray features natural ingredients like white vinegar, a surprisingly powerful disinfectant, and anti-fungal tea tree essential oil. These natural fungus fighters can help prevent mold and mildew from running rampant in tubs and showers.

When it comes to tackling stubborn stains, this homemade stain remover has never let me down. The combination of Dawn dish soap and hydrogen peroxide works like magic on everything from greasy spots to yellow armpit stains, making it a laundry essential that’s both powerful and easy to make!
2. Spray Starch
Looking for a way to keep your clothes looking crisp? This DIY spray starch is my husband’s secret weapon for perfectly pressed dress shirts. With just cornstarch and water, this simple formula delivers a polished finish without the hassle of store-bought products.
3. Wrinkle Release Spray
Forget the iron! This quick and easy wrinkle-release spray works wonders for smoothing out wrinkles in no time. Just a mist of this vinegar and hair conditioner blend, and your clothes will be ready to wear—no ironing board required.

Add a touch of calm to your home with this lavender linen spray. With its soothing scent, this spray freshens everything from bedding to towels while also helping promote relaxation. It’s a simple, natural way to make your fabrics smell as fresh as they look!
Do you have a favorite homemade spray cleaner?
Absolutely love this list! It’s fantastic to see homemade cleaning solutions that are not only effective but also eco-friendly and safe to use around the house. The incorporation of essential oils not only helps in cleaning but also leaves a pleasant fragrance behind. I’m especially keen on trying out the Citrus Degreaser and the Tub & Shower Cleaner. Thanks for sharing these recipes with us; it’s always refreshing to have natural alternatives that can easily be made from ingredients we already have in our homes. Keep up the great work! Mary P.
Please log in or create a free account to comment.I use your granite cleaner for glass, mirrors, counters and appliances – anything that needs to be streak free. I use Sal Suds for bathrooms and my table. It lasts for years since it’s just 1 tablespoon of Sal suds concentrate in a 32 oz spray bottle of water. Glitsa and a microfiber mop for floors. That’s 1/4 cup in a 32 oz. bottle, and I use a clean mop pad on each room. I use a damp microfiber for dusting. Everything else seems a bit redundant.

I’m mostly looking for one that gets the wax and pesticides off. Currently, I put strawberries and raspberries, in warm water with some white vinegar, lay on towel to dry off, and refrigerate or eat.

I was glad to see the reminder about the mold formula.Mold isn’t something you want to mess with. I had a former co- worker die recently because of toxic mold in his place that had gotten out of control.

I like it that glass bottles are provided or made available from a lot of natural cleaning product companies. However nobody seems to have found (or found a way to make) a non-plastic spray head. The plastic tube that goes in the bottle can be easily switched out for silicone (e.g., an aquarium air line) but why can’t there be an all-metal spray head? Not only would switching out the plastic reduce the overall amount in our environment, but given that the spray head is typically the first part to wear out I would think a non-corrosive metal one would last much longer – and be less of an eyesore to display. We’ve only had plastic for the past 60 years or so; what did people use before this? Did they not have spray bottles?

Please log in or create a free account to comment.Great question, Helen! With some of these recipes, they can clog the sprayer. I use a little trick that helps me. I tie a small piece of nylon pantyhose on the bottom. Here is my post that offers several ideas of how to use old tights and panthose. https://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/20-handy-ways-to-reuse-tights-and-pantyhose/
Please log in or create a free account to comment.Re: your dusting spray with vinegar. I thought vinegar would harm wood surfaces. I think I read that regarding use on wood floors. Could you please clarify? Thanks Jillee.
Please log in or create a free account to comment.Bev, I understand your concern. As long as you dilute the vinegar and do not let the solution sit on the wood… It will not harm the wood surface.
Please log in or create a free account to comment.Ironically, a supervisor mixed up some Dawn and vinegar yesterday. We used it to clean the commercial dishwasher on the outside! We have incredibly hard water that leaves quite a residue. This formula works great on stainless steel. We were uncertain of the ratio of Dawn to vinegar. Now I know, thanks Jillee.
