Looking for a kitchen cleaner that is made without unnecessary synthetic fragrance, bleach or ammonia? This DIY tox free kitchen cleaner is cost effective and designed for daily use.

INGREDIENTS FOR 500ML

  • 200ml distilled water
  • 100ml Castile soap
  • 150ml vodka
  • 10 drops lemon or orange essential oil
  • 5 drops peppermint oil

METHOD

Combine in Améli vessel and gently mix to combine. Ensure oils are dissolved to prevent spray blockages (add more vodka if required).

USE

Spritz on benchtops, splashbacks and stovetops, leaving your kitchen fresh and naturally clean.

BENEFITS

Powered by plant based Castile soap and grease cutting citrus oils, this DIY kitchen cleaner lifts everyday grease, fingerprints and cooking residue and dries quickly. 

NOTE

The vodka, helps dissolve oils and grease, improves drying time, reduces streaking, and acts as a solvent to keep the essential oils dispersed. It also offers some antimicrobial activity because of its ethanol content, although at this dilution it should not be relied upon as a disinfectant. The rest can be used to make Gigi Hadid's spicy vodka pasta!
