Magic ingredients for the cleaner (you probably already have everything at home):

  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • Hot water
  • Essential oil (if you want your home to smell like a spa experience)
  • Sprayer or bowl

Steps to a glowing (and fragrant) home

  1. Mix vinegar and baking soda in a bowl – get ready for a mini chemistry show! (If you feel like you’re in a school lab, that’s a completely normal side effect.)
  2. If desired, add a few drops of essential oil – lavender for zen, lemon for a summery mood, or peppermint for instant refreshment.
  3. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle or use it straight from the bowl (if you're old school).
  4. Spray on bathroom surfaces, tiles, around faucets, even down drains – wherever that unpleasant “life patina” accumulates.
  5. Leave on for 5-10 minutes – just enough for an espresso or a quick scroll through Instagram.
  6. Wipe with a cloth or rinse with water. And voilà – as if a housekeeper were taking care of you with Swiss precision.

Additional bonus tip:

This mixture not only cleans, but also freshens the air. So if you have a teenager, a dog, or simply live a simple life – this is a recipe you’ll want to have on hand.
