I’ve been playing around with the idea of trying out some homemade cleaners for our house lately. It seems that the cost of cleaners in the store can get a little ridiculous sometimes, and I feel like I’m constantly running out of something or needing something new. I’ve heard so many good things about homemade cleaners, and I think this summer is a great time for me to give it a shot!

Here’s a quick roundup of some of the best recipes, tips, and ideas that I’ve found so far:

•  Make these DIY toilet fizzies to keep your bathroom clean with minimal effort.
• Try this refreshing shoe spray for any old shoes that aren’t smelling so clean.
