How to Make a DIY Detergent to Polish Your Bathroom and Kitchen — Naturally and Effectively

Tired of store-bought cleaners filled with harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances? You’re not alone. Many people are turning to natural, DIY solutions to keep their homes sparkling clean — especially in places like the kitchen and bathroom, where grime, grease, soap scum, and water stains love to linger.

The good news? You can make your own effective, non-toxic detergent at home using simple, affordable ingredients — many of which you likely already have in your pantry. This homemade cleaner not only cleans and polishes surfaces beautifully, but it’s also eco-friendly, budget-conscious, and safe for use around kids and pets.

🧴 Why Make Your Own Cleaner?

  • Avoid harmful chemicals like bleach, ammonia, and artificial fragrances
  • Save money with inexpensive ingredients
  • Customize the scent with essential oils you actually like
  • Reduce waste with reusable containers

Let’s get right into how to make your own DIY polishing detergent!

🧼 Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 cup baking soda – acts as a gentle abrasive to scrub surfaces without scratching
  • ½ cup white vinegar – dissolves grime, breaks down soap scum, and adds shine
  • 1 tablespoon dish soap – cuts through grease and lifts dirt
  • 10–15 drops essential oil (optional) – like lemon, tea tree, or lavender for scent and antibacterial properties
  • Warm water – to blend and activate the ingredients
  • A clean spray bottle or squeeze bottle

🧪 How to Make It

  1. Mix the ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the baking soda and dish soap.
    • Slowly add the vinegar — it will fizz! Stir gently.
    • Add enough warm water (about 1–2 cups) to create a pourable liquid or paste, depending on your preference.
    • Add essential oils and stir to combine.
  2. Transfer to container:
    • Pour the mixture into a spray bottle (for liquid) or squeeze bottle (for paste). Shake before each use.
