Make A DIY Pumpkin Spice Cleaner With Ingredients Sitting In Your Pantry

Pumpkin spice is a beloved scent and an element of fall décor that many people can't live without. Oftentimes, we incorporate this scent by lighting candles, baking desserts, and using incense. However, have you ever thought about using a DIY pumpkin spice cleaner? Doing so can help kill two birds with one stone by cleansing surfaces while simultaneously spreading this warm scent throughout your residence.

There are different variations of pumpkin spice cleaners you can make, including a strong multi-surface cleaner that can wash away grime on kitchen counters, sinks, floors, and more. To create it, grab a spray bottle and add 2 cups of distilled water, 1 teaspoon of baking soda (shake the bottle so the baking soda dissolves before adding the other ingredients), 1 teaspoon of natural dish soap, and about 30 drops of essential oil, using a combination of cinnamon, clove, ginger, orange, and cardamon. When mixed together, all five scents will give you the pumpkin spice smell that you crave. If this concoction is amping up your autumn spirit, you'll enjoy the other DIY cleaning solutions we've found.

Would you like to prevent bad smells from emitting from your toilet? Well, before using the bathroom, you may want to spray the inside of your toilet bowl with a DIY pumpkin spice toilet spray. This spray prevents bad smells by creating a thin layer of cleaner over the toilet water, which then traps the odors before they're flushed down. To create this spray, grab a small spray bottle and fill it with 70 drops of essential oil, combining scents like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, cardamom, and sweet orange, making sure to add more cinnamon than sweet orange, as well as 1.5 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol and a ½ cup of distilled water.

If you'd like to step away from the sprays and create a cleaning paste that can be used to brighten sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and countertops, we have just the solution for you. In a small bowl, combine a few tablespoons of baking soda with a heavy splash of pumpkin spice extract and enough water and lemon juice to create a paste-like consistency. When you use this cleaner, allow it to sit on the surface for a minimum of 10 minutes so that the smell has enough time to envelop the room.
