Cleaner supplies and some notes

Making your own cleaner requires just a few simple ingredients.

Here’s what you’ll need and why each ingredient is important:

Water – Serves as the base for your cleaner, helping to dilute the alcohol and make the solution easy to use on surfaces.
Rubbing alcohol – Is effective at cleaning up grease because it dissolves and breaks up grease molecules.
Castile soap – A natural, plant-based soap that cuts through grease and grime. I recommend using the peppermint scented Castile soap, but any scent will work.
Peppermint essential oil – Easy way to add a fresh, clean scent.

How to use this homemade kitchen degreaser spray

This homemade kitchen degreaser spray is a simple yet powerful way to tackle greasy messes on countertops and stovetops.

Because it’s alcohol-based, it cuts through grease effectively.

Here are some tips to get the best results when using it:

Shake before use – Give the bottle a quick shake before spraying to ensure an even mix.
Spray and let it sit – For stubborn grease, spray and let the cleaner sit for about 1-2 minutes before wiping. This gives the alcohol time to break down the grease.
Use a microfiber cloth – A microfiber cloth works best for wiping away grease, as it lifts dirt while leaving surfaces streak-free. Paper towels work well too.
Avoid spraying on certain surfaces – Alcohol-based cleaners should not be used on wooden cabinets.
Store in a cool dark place – Store your cleaner in a cool, dark place to help maintain its effectiveness. Using a dark spray bottle is also a great idea.
