DIY Natural Lemon Counter Cleaner

Spring cleaning time is here! I’ve always had a problem spraying chemical laden cleaners on my counter where I prepare the food I eat and finally decided it was about time to do something about it especially because in just a few months there will be a little babe living here too. After scouring the web I decided to make this lemon-scented cleaning spray and have been using it the past few weeks. I keep it on the counter in this pretty glass bottle I got on Amazon and it’s such a more affordable, safer, healthier way to keep our kitchen clean! 

DIY Lemon Scented Counter Cleaner 
1/8 cup white vinegar
1 TBS baking soda
2 cups hot water
1/2 lemon 

1. In a large glass measuring cup combine vinegar, baking soda and hot water (careful it will foam!).
2. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and then drop the rind in so it can infuse the water even more.
3. Stir and allow to cool.
4. Remove the rind, strain the water with a fine sieve and pour it into a glass bottle.
