Heavy-Duty DIY Bathroom Cleaner
This powerful, no-rinse cleaner uses just two pantry staples, rubbing alcohol and white vinegar, to disinfect, cut through grime, and leave your bathroom surfaces sparkling. It’s fast, frugal, and surprisingly satisfying to make and use.
Servings: 1 spray bottle (approx. 16 oz)
Cost: Under $2 per bottle
Equipment
- Spray bottle (16 oz or larger)
- Sponge or microfiber cloth
Ingredients
- 1 cup rubbing alcohol 70%
- 1 cup white vinegar
- Optional 5–10 drops essential oil for scent
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup rubbing alcohol and 1 cup white vinegar into a clean spray bottle. Use a funnel to avoid spills, and label the bottle for easy use.
- Apply the mixture to bathroom surfaces—countertops, sinks, toilets, faucets, tile, and mirrors. Avoid natural stone like granite or marble.
- Use a sponge or microfiber cloth to wipe clean. No rinsing required. The alcohol evaporates quickly and leaves a streak-free shine.
- For stubborn spots, allow the spray to sit for 1–2 minutes before wiping.
Notes
Important: Always store your cleaner out of reach of kids and pets. While vinegar and alcohol are generally safe, they’re not drinkable—and curious little hands tend to find everything. Never mix this cleaner with bleach. Just like with vinegar alone, the combination can create toxic fumes.
