If you’ve ever looked at your cleaning supplies and wondered what’s really inside those bottles, you’re not alone. Many households are now switching to all-natural cleaning products for healthier, safer spaces. One of the simplest ways to start is by making your own All-Purpose Kitchen Spray—a versatile cleaner perfect for wiping down counters, tables, and other hard surfaces.

In this post, we’ll show you an easy recipe for a DIY spray, highlight why natural cleaning matters, and introduce our FREE ebook on DIY or Buy Cleaning Products, so you can decide when it’s worth making your own and when it’s easier to buy (and there are links for our favorite ready-made products inside).


Why Choose a DIY All-Purpose Kitchen Spray?

The Problem with Traditional Cleaners

Most store-bought cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can irritate skin, trigger allergies, or leave behind harmful residues. By choosing an all-purpose kitchen spray made with natural ingredients, you protect both your family and the environment.

Benefits of Natural Cleaning Sprays

  • Safe for food prep areas: No harsh chemicals lingering where you cook.
  • Eco-friendly: Biodegradable ingredients reduce your footprint.
  • Budget-friendly: A homemade all-purpose kitchen spray costs pennies compared to store-bought options.

DIY All-Purpose Kitchen Spray Recipe

Making your own cleaner is easier than you think. Here’s a tried-and-true recipe from our ebook:

DIY vs. Buy: Which Is Best?

When to DIY

An all-purpose kitchen spray is quick to mix, affordable, and customizable. DIY works best for everyday cleaning tasks when you want control over ingredients and scents.

When to Buy

Sometimes convenience wins. Our ebook, DIY or Buy, The Ultimate Guide to Home Cleaning, shows you which cleaners are cost-effective to make at home and which ones are better purchased (like disinfecting wipes or specialty mold removers). You’ll save time and money by knowing the difference.


How to Maximize Your All-Purpose Kitchen Spray

Surfaces to Use It On

  • Kitchen counters
  • Dining tables
  • Sinks
  • Stovetops
  • Refrigerator shelves

Surfaces to Avoid

Because vinegar is acidic, skip marble, granite, and natural stone—opt for a stone-safe spray instead.
