Super Simple "Easy Clean" Spray Cleaner

It turns out, we are all very busy. The solution? I keep a bottle of this Super Simple "Easy Clean" Spray Cleaner handy. A couple of sprays, and a quick wipe down, and you will have a clean and ready use work surface, once again! From the DIY Homemade Household side of the blog!

Before we cook, often we need to clean up first! 

So tell me, have you ever had one of those days, where you walk into the kitchen to start a meal and all the counters are covered with the remains of the day? This can and does happen with kids of all ages or no kids at all, still at home! Yep, I thought so, around here we call it life. Super Simple "Easy Clean" Spray Cleaner is just what you need, because, what you will find on the kitchen counters is one or maybe all of the following.

Left behind crumbs from someone getting out a few crackers. 

Or a bit of honey dribbled from sweetening a cup of tea.

And who can mistake that smear left behind, from the knife used for a PB&J? 

And my personal favorite, the trail of mugs and drinking glasses with a few spills from what was poured into them...

But now, back home, possibly home from work or working outside, time is moving on and  dinner is waiting to be made. Time to get out your spray bottle of Super Simple "Easy Clean" Spray Cleaner! And create a clean surface, so you can make dinner.  

Great for cleaning up before and after cooking!

There is nothing difficult about this cleaner, and it will come in handy more times than you can shake a stick at! It is my go to for cleaning large surface areas quickly. You can wipe and go. Because this is a vinegar based cleaner you need now worry about using the cleaned surfaces for prepping food. 

And no rising is required because those 3 drops of dish soap are not the cleaning part. The vinegar is! That small amount of soap changes the surface tension of the water making it wetter to actually clean better! And then for a quick wipe down after dinner is also handy!

Ingredients needed for this project:

• water
• vinegar
• dish soap or Sal Suds

You will also need the following:

• spray bottle

Now we are ready to begin!
