How To Make a Homemade Cream Cleaner

Making my own cleaning products is now just a part of my routine. I no longer traipse the cleaning product aisles in the shops, I am no longer drawn into the ads and I do not miss those chemical smells around my home. Instead, I can feel confident that I am using all-natural and safe products with zero toxins which is better for our health and also better for the environment. Now I know not everybody will want to spend a lot of their time making their own products but this is why I will only ever share the simplest recipes I can create. As a busy Mum of 2, I also cherish my time so being able to whip up a cleaning product quickly and easily is at the top of my list. I have previously shared how to make a surface spray, window cleaner, toilet bombs and how to clean your washing machine naturally so now on to my favourite homemade cleaning product, my cream cleaner.
