non toxic all-purpose cleaner

I’m always on the lookout for cleaners that are free from toxic ingredients. While I love using cleaning brands that are non-toxic, I often find that they can be quite expensive. In this economy I’m always trying to figure out a DIY version of products that can save me money. I love making this non toxic all-purpose cleaning spray because it uses up citrus peels that you may otherwise throw in your organics bin. I’m all about living a waste free life as much as possible! This spray is extremely cost effective and doesn’t use any harsh or toxic ingredients. It only takes two ingredients to make! Let me know in the comments if you make your own cleaning spray at home!
