General Tips:
Always label your homemade cleaners and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
Before using a new cleaner, test it on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn't damage the surface.
Store cleaners in a cool, dark place to maintain their effectiveness.
By making your own cleaning solutions, you can reduce exposure to harsh chemicals and customize scents to your preference, all while keeping your home sparkling clean.
