It's a not-so-dirty little secret among greenie homebodies that it only takes two commonly found nontoxic ingredients to make the ultimate bathroom cleaner for your home: white vinegar and dish detergent. Simply heat up 12 ounces of white vinegar in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then mix in 12 ounces of dish detergent (choose one with color) and pour the mixture into a spray bottle. The colorful mixture shows you where you've sprayed on surfaces in the bathroom; the dish soap breaks down grease and dirt while the white vinegar dissolves mineral deposits. Truly one of the best bathroom cleaner recipes out there, and very eco-friendly to boot!

If you love fragrances and want your perfumes to last longer, keep them out of the room where most of us display our bottles: the bathroom. Fragrances are susceptible to two things: light and temperature shifts. A bathroom heats up and cools down quickly when it's used (imagine a hot steam shower filling the room), which warms up the perfume and breaks it down. By displaying bottles out on a tray, you're also exposing them to UV light that speeds up the degradation process. Instead, keep your fragrances in the boxes they came in and store them in a dark, room-temperature location, like inside a drawer or closet.

Witch hazel is a natural astringent made from distilled flowers from an indigenous shrub native to North America. Many people use it to help treat acne-prone and inflamed skin, since it has wonderful anti-inflammatory benefits. But witch hazel is also naturally antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal. By pouring witch hazel into a small spray bottle, you can harness those benefits to create an instant one-ingredient shoe deodorizing spray. Just spray inside your shoes to disinfect and deodorize them naturally.
