Safe enough for the baby’s high chair, strong enough for the bathroom.
You know that one product that cleans everything from sticky countertops to mystery fridge spills? You can make it yourself with stuff you probably already have. This cleaner is gentle, effective, and budget-friendly—which is basically the TMRT holy trinity.


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dish soap
  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • Optional: essential oils (for smell-good vibes)


Directions:

  1. Add everything to a spray bottle (pour slowly or mix in a bowl first—baking soda and vinegar love to bubble up).
  2. Swirl gently.
  3. Spray and wipe down any surface—counters, bathroom sinks, high chairs, even the dog crate.


TMRT Tip: Add lemon, peppermint, or eucalyptus oil for a clean scent that doesn’t scream “chemicals live here.”
