Homemade Bleach Cleaner

This homemade bleach cleaner leaves surfaces fresh, sanitized, and sparkling. I love that it’s easy to make with a few items that I have on hand. 

Homemade Bleach Cleaner 

I remember my mom cleaning with bleach when I was growing up. There’s nothing quite like the power of it. I make a fresh bucket of this cleaner whenever I want to give my home a good clean and sanitize. 

Pro tips for making your own bleach cleaner:

• Wear a white shirt // old clothes when cleaning with this since bleach does stain fabrics. 
• Make a new bucket every time you plan on cleaning, due to the fact that bleach breaks down over time. One bucket will be good for 24 hours and then you will want to make a new bucket. The good news is you need very few ingredients, so you aren’t being wasteful with any extra that you don’t use within the time period.

Can I use liquid detergent?

No you cannot, liquid detergent is too concentrated. The powdered detergent is what you need for this cleaner. 

Does this bleach cleaner actually sanitize surfaces?

According to the CDC’s website they recommend a bleach and water ratio for cleaning. I add in the Tide for extra cleaning power. Important note: I am just sharing what has worked for me in my home. I personally have not lab tested this bleach cleaner. It is important to always use good judgement and to practice good cleaning and hygiene. 

What should I use to clean?

Use a rag, microfiber cloth, or an old cloth to get every surface. You can also use a scrub brush in areas where it’s necessary. 

Where should I clean with this?

All high touch surfaces – door knobs, light switches, kitchen appliances, cabinets, countertops, it’s also great for cleaning bathrooms.
