Don’t you just love that feeling when you sit on the couch and look around to see a spotless, tidy home? We sure do… except for maybe that chemical-y smell. With all those indecipherable ingredients found in the store-bought stuff, it’s a little frightening even thinking about what they actually do to our health. It’s a good thing that there are so many DIY household cleaners that will give you the same clean-house effect without all the harsh chemicals. Check out these 15 solutions that will make you feel good about cleaning.
