I’ve been making my own cleaning products for a long time. Back when I started, there weren’t any recipes or guides online, so there was a lot of trial and error—mostly error, to be honest. Did you know that mixing vinegar and liquid castile soap makes a slimy mess? Or that vinegar is better suited for making pickles than cleaning many surfaces? I found out the hard way!
These days, there are plenty of pre-made “green” cleaners available. Some work really well, but they tend to be much more expensive than making your own. Over the years, I’ve saved a lot of money and avoided throwing away numerous plastic bottles by creating my own cleaners—something you can easily do too!
I came across a company that shares my enthusiasm for natural cleaning products, both pre-made and homemade, and they’re offering most of the supplies I use for free this week. I often get asked where I got my amazing spray bottle. In the past, I didn’t have a reliable source. I had ordered some online, but they weren’t always high quality, and I couldn’t recommend something that might break after just a few weeks.
Then, Grove Collaborative stepped in. They agreed to create a limited edition Wellness Mama + Grove glass spray bottle (made in the USA) specifically for homemade cleaners, with my cleaning recipe printed on the back, and offered to send it to you for free. Of course, I was thrilled!
Previously known as ePantry, Grove is a company I’d heard of but never tried until recently. Now, I order lots of household staples from them. And here’s the best part: this week, you can get several of my favorite items for free.
If you’re new to Grove Collaborative, you can get over $40 worth of products for free by trying out $20 of their items. In my case, I received $70 worth of products that I already love and use for under $25, thanks to the discounts and free products. Already a Grove member? They’ll add a pack of walnut scrubber sponges to your next order at no cost.
I found out that the items I ordered are much cheaper than the same ones at local stores, and now I have automatic deliveries for things like natural toilet paper and recycled razors—you know, the stuff I always forget to buy.
With the money you save, treat yourself to some good coffee or herbal tea and take just 30 seconds to whip up a simple homemade cleaner. Important note: I teamed up with Grove to create this spray bottle and offer, but this isn’t a sponsored post. If you decide to grab these free products, I do earn an affiliate commission, which helps keep my blog running. Plus, you get discounts and free items along with my thanks for supporting my site!
