Description
This DIY streak-free appliance cleaner works especially well on black and stainles steel appliances to get them shiny clean with no streaks!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup rubbing/Isopropyl alcohol (The stuff you’d find in the pharmacy for first aid, not the drinkable kind.)
- 2–3 drops liquid dish soap (Dawn, Joy, Castile, etc.)
- 3–4 drops of your favorite essential oil (or extract your own from orange peels – see notes)(This is totally optional to counter the strong vinegar scent)
Other Materials Needed
- 1 24oz plastic spray bottle (found in the cleaning aisle)
- 1 microfiber cloth (found in the cleaning aisle or on Amazon)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a 24 oz misting spray bottle and shake to combine.
- Spray cleaner onto your appliances in a small area.
- Wipe up with a microfiber cloth (microfiber is the key to no streaks).
- Repeat until cleaned.
- Enjoy your streak-free finish!
Notes
- **I take no responsibility for any damages that may occur from this cleaner. When using homemade products, always test in a small area to ensure no damages will occur.
- *The first time I used this, there was a small amount of waxy buildup on the appliances that fogged over. It was streak-free after a second pass with the cleaner.
- This also works wonders on my laminate (not hardwood) flooring. Spray a small area and mop up with a microfiber cloth on a swiffer.
- To extract your own orange oil: Soak 2-3 orange peels in the 1 c vinegar for 1-2 weeks, then strain out and discard peels. Use the orange essence vinegar in place of plain white vinegar to make the recipe as directed above.
