Skip the toxic cleaning sprays and try this homemade cleaning spray that’s only two simple ingredients. It’s super easy to make, and with a little tweak, you can use it as a homemade bug spray for plants.
Along with water, the main ingredient in this DIY cleaning spray is… Wild Peppermint Hand & Body Wash. Yes, it’s true! You can use the same peppermint castile soap on your hands, body, pets, you name it to keep your home clean and the ants at bay.
Not yet a castile soap convert? Well, here’s what you’re missing! Castile soap, like Earth Mama’s Wild Peppermint Hand & Body Wash, is real soap (not detergent, like a lot of washes), so it’s safe and effective on everyone and pretty much everything.
So, now that you’ve got your Wild Peppermint Hand & Body Wash, let’s get to these non-toxic homemade cleaning spray recipes.
