What you need

- 2 liters of hot water

- 1/2 glass of 70° alcohol

- 1/4 glass of baking soda

- Mixing bowl

- Spray bottle

How to make it

1. Pour the hot water into the bowl.

2. Add the alcohol.

3. Stir in the baking soda.

4. Mix thoroughly until dissolved.

5. Transfer to the spray bottle.

The results

That's it! You've created a powerhouse all-purpose cleaner that outperforms many commercial options.

Quick, simple, and cost-effective—perfect for maintaining a sparkling home without overspending.

It replaces multiple specialized products, saving you time and money.

How to use

Spray directly on surfaces and wipe with a microfiber cloth for a streak-free shine.

Safe for windows, stainless steel, cabinets, countertops, toilets, tiles, linoleum, and plastic floors.

Tip: Ventilate the area after use, as the alcohol scent is strong but fades quickly. Seal the bottle tightly to prevent evaporation—it lasts months.

Why it works

Alcohol disinfects, degreases, and polishes surfaces to a brilliant shine.

Baking soda neutralizes odors, disinfects gently, and is eco-friendly with no harsh residues.
