How are you? I hope that you\u2019re enjoying the morning. I have a packed day of appointments and P has an orthodontist appointment. Hoping we can hop in the pool afterwards!<\/p>\n<p>For today, I wanted to talk about cleaning products. The more I learn about conventional cleaning products, the more creeped out I am. If you\u2019re interested in cleaner DIY options, I wanted to talk about how to make your own DIY natural cleaning products that work just as well (if not better!) than store-bought versions, without all the harsh chemicals. These are safe for kids, pets, and the planet, and many can be made with ingredients you already have at home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=201256\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-201256 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-pin-title=\"DIY Natural Cleaning Products: Simple Recipes That Actually Work\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-201256\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"945\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/diy-natural-cleaning-products-simple-recipes-that-actually-work\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"DIY Natural Cleaning Products: Simple Recipes That Actually Work\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/06\/cleaning-758x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-758x1024.jpg 758w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-768x1037.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-1138x1536.jpg 1138w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-1517x2048.jpg 1517w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning.jpg 1896w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/06\/cleaning-758x1024.jpg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-pin-title=\"DIY Natural Cleaning Products: Simple Recipes That Actually Work\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-201256\" src=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/06\/cleaning-758x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"945\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/diy-natural-cleaning-products-simple-recipes-that-actually-work\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"DIY Natural Cleaning Products: Simple Recipes That Actually Work\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/06\/cleaning-758x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-758x1024.jpg 758w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-768x1037.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-1138x1536.jpg 1138w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning-1517x2048.jpg 1517w, https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cleaning.jpg 1896w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>DIY Natural Cleaning Products<\/h2>\n<h3>Why Switch to Natural Cleaning Products?<\/h3>\n<p>Conventional cleaners often contain toxins and harsh chemicals like ammonia, bleach, phthalates, and formaldehyde, which can cause irritation and long-term health issues.
