Ditch the Harsh Chemicals: A Simple DIY Cleaning Recipe

Ditch the Harsh Chemicals: A Simple DIY Cleaning Recipe

Have you ever flipped over a cleaning product bottle and struggled to pronounce half the ingredients? Most conventional household cleaners are packed with synthetic chemicals that are not only harsh on dirt but also harsh on your health. Families today are more aware than ever that the products we use daily can impact our long-term wellbeing, especially for young children.




Common chemicals in standard cleaning sprays can:

  • Trigger asthma, eczema, and skin irritation

  • Disrupt hormones or contribute to allergies

  • Leave behind invisible chemical residues on food prep surfaces

  • Create indoor air pollution that lingers long after spraying

For babies and toddlers who crawl on floors and touch every surface, this matters more than we realise.

At Blissful Home, we believe that a truly clean home shouldn’t compromise your family's health. That’s why we’re passionate about low-tox living and empowering parents with safe, simple, and effective alternatives. The good news? You can make your own all-purpose cleaner in under five minutes using ingredients you already have at home.

DIY Natural All-Purpose Cleaner Recipe:

  • 1 cup filtered water (dilutes and balances the formula)

  • 10 drops lemon or tea tree essential oil (antibacterial and fresh scent)
