Say Goodbye to Mildew & Soap Scum with This DIY Natural Shower Spray
For nearly a decade, I've been creating most of my household cleaning supplies from scratch. I make an all-purpose cleaner by mixing infused vinegar and water, deodorize rugs with baking soda and dried herbs, polish wood using vinegar, olive oil, and lemon, clean windows with a vinegar, water, and cornstarch solution, and wash floors with warm water and Castile soap.
I love natural, homemade cleaning, and my family and the Earth appreciate it too! That's why I created my comprehensive recipe ebook, A Guide To Natural Cleaning. Inside, I’ve compiled all the practical cleaning recipes I use to keep my home spotless. I also share my journey toward a more mindful and sustainable cleaning routine and provide a list of 13 reusable cleaning tools that have supported my eco-friendly lifestyle. Purchase it here!

Occasionally, I craft specialized products to share with this community, like this shower spray that effectively prevents soap scum and mildew. It’s simple to make, and the added essential oil keeps my shower sparkling while keeping harmful chemicals out of the environment.
