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 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
