I have a soft spot for this type of post. After all, I started this blog with a series about transitioning to homemade products made without harmful chemicals. I love writing reviews of the recipes I find around the internet that work well for me. Check out that link for the products I use myself.
However, the same recipes won’t work for everyone, and there are some products I haven’t tested yet. So I’ve compiled a round up of homemade cleaning and hygiene recipes from some of my favorite bloggers. Enjoy!

Thanks for the great round-up! I would always prefer to use natural stuff to clean my house. I’ll be looking through the list in detail. Thanks also for including my lemon-vinegar and homemade cleaners. I appreciate it!

Although I’m happy to have found this page, I thought it was going to be a way to make your own alternative to Round-Up based on the title.
