5 DIY Cleaning Recipes Using Castile Soap

So many of us are looking to save as much money as we can right now and I want to help, here are my tried and tested Money-Saving DIY Cleaning Recipes!

Have you ever used castile soap in your home?

Castille soap is one of the most versatile ingredients you can have in the home. It’s non-toxic and very effective at making a number of products we buy daily, like hand soap, all-purpose cleaners, and even face wash!

Conventional cleaning products can increase indoor air pollution, many of them, like bleach and ammonia, give off volatile organic compounds that off-gas in the home, contributing to poor indoor air. Castille soap is made from vegetable oils like coconut, jojoba, and olive oil.

Castile soap is great for all surfaces and this large bottle will last me at least 6 months I can make so many things from it….which I am going to show you 5 of them today!

For all these recipes you will need a clean spray bottle, some measuring spoons essential oils, a small funnel, distilled water, and the castile soap of course.
