When combined with the disinfecting power of white vinegar and the abrasive action of salt, you get a cleaner that is effective against dirt but gentle on your home.

Here’s how you can make this eco-friendly cleaner:

-Gather your supplies: You’ll need 1 large bay leaf, 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 tablespoon of salt.

-Prepare the solution: Bring 2 cups of water to the boil in a saucepan. Add the bay leaf and boil for about 10 minutes. This process infuses the water with the essential oils in the bay leaf, which are key to the cleaner’s effectiveness.

-Add vinegar and salt: Once the bay leaf has transferred its essence to the water, remove the pan from the heat. Discard the leaf and add the white vinegar and salt to the water infused with bay leaf, stirring until the salt dissolves.

-Allow to cool and transfer: Leave the mixture to cool. Once it’s at room temperature, pour it into a spray bottle for easy application.

-Use: Simply spray the solution on your floors or surfaces and wipe with a mop or cloth. Not only will it leave a shine, but the delicious scent of bay leaves will freshen up your space.

-This natural cleaner is a testament to the power of simple, ecological solutions that keep our homes sparkling and smelling fresh. It’s perfect for those who appreciate the value of cleanliness and the beauty of nature’s gifts. Give it a try and you may find that it becomes your main resource for a home that welcomes you with sparkle and scent.
