Inside: Ditch the chemical cleaners and check out these 7 amazing cleaners you can make yourself. They work great and will save you money.

About 5 years ago I really got into making my own cleaners. I started with my favorite granite cleaner and that worked so well I just kept on making more and more cleaners myself. Not only is it extremely easy to make your own cleaners, but you can save yourself a lot of money too.

One of the things that I was most surprised about was that the cleaners that I made myself worked better than the store-bought. I thought that the cleaners wouldn't work as well or I would have to spend more time cleaning with homemade cleaners. But that isn't the case at all! So if you want to save money or just make more natural cleaners check out these cleaners you can make yourself.

Granite Cleaner

This granite cleaner only takes about 3 minutes to make, but you will save so much money versus buying granite cleaner in the store. It is very versatile and can be used on Formica or cultured marble too! I also use it on some of my appliances to give them a perfect shine. It's one of my favorite cleaners you can make.

Dusting Spray

I quit buying the overpriced Pledge aerosol cans when I found this great recipe for homemade dusting spray. It only has a few ingredients and leaves a great shine on all your wood. I love the fact that I don't need to use an aerosol can in the house and still dust well.

Glass Cleaner

Forget the weird blue Windex. This homemade glass cleaner is so easy to make and works great. It quickly shines windows and mirrors and leaves a streak-free finish on everything. You probably have everything you need to make this cleaner at home.

Sink Cleaner

I was constantly dealing with a stained kitchen sink until I started making my own sink cleaner. It smells fantastic and has natural ingredients unlike Ajax or other sink cleaners. It cost less than $.25 to make which is awesome! By far one of my favorite cleaners you can make.

Upholstery Cleaner

I was about ready to reupholster my chairs until I came across this recipe. Dirt and food stains are no match for this simple homemade upholstery cleaner. You probably already have all the ingredients you need to make up a batch and clean your furniture today. If you have stained upholstery you need to try it today!

Soft Scrub

I love the smell of this homemade soft scrub. Cleaning the shower and bath is never fun, but this scrub helps make the job easier without the harsh smells. If you hate harsh chemical smells, especially in the bathroom this is a cleaner you can make at home.

Toilet Cleaner

I absolutely hate the smell of the chemicals in the store-bought toilet cleaners. After making several toilet cleaners on Pinterest I finally came up with this ridiculously simple toilet cleaner. It's so easy to get the toilets clean without the bad smell.

Making your own cleaners can save you money and help you know what products you are cleaning with. No more nasty smelling cleaners full of strange chemicals. Want some more cleaning tips? Check out how to make your own vinegar gel for super cleaning power.
