This Chemical-Free Wood Cleaner Recipe Is Almost Too Easy to Make

Let's face it: It's always the season for spring cleaning. But so many cleaning products have way too many toxins in them for your liking, and the fancy all-natural ones are hurting your wallet. Well, look no further than your own pantry for a chemical-free recipe for wood cleaner that works wonders.

What You Need:
 - 1 cup water
 - 1/4 cup vinegar 
 - 2 teaspoons olive oil
 - 10 to 15 drops of Lemon essential oil
 - Spray bottle 

Simply combine the ingredients in a small bowl and pour into a spray bottle. Shake before spraying, then give your wood surfaces a nice spritz and wipe down.

Finally, take a nice long whiff of your lemony-fresh (and chemical-free) furniture. Ah, that’s the stuff.
