Cleaning supplies for a present? I’m pretty sure there’s a longstanding joke about men who buy women vaccuum cleaners for Christmas and it doesn’t go well. BUT, this oily gift idea for a Household Cleaning Gift Basket is different! We promise!
Protecting your loved ones by removing harmful, toxic chemicals is super important. While, it’s not a beautiful outfit or fancy jewelry or the perfect art piece…a gift basket full of non-toxic, all-natural oily products for your entire home does say how much you love someone.
We’ve gathered up some of our favorite household cleaning products that are tested, work great, and smell amazing to help you bless a family member, new homeowner, favorite teacher or neighbor, or college student this holiday season.
Make all of them or pick a handful of recipes to assemble into a gift basket.
Be sure to see our note at the end to see an easy way to make several gift baskets in one easy afternoon.
Bathroom Poo Spray
If you’ve never heard of it…it’s a spray that you add to the toilet water BEFORE you do your business. It creates a ‘seal’ or barrier, so to speak, on the water and holds the poo-smell in the water and keeps it from stinking up the bathroom.
Don’t believe me? It WORKS. If this mom to 4 boys says it works, it works!

Carpet Cleaner and Deodorizer
If you have carpet in your home, then you know the pain and the joy of keeping it clean and fresh. We have a dog and six kids so this is a must for us. In addition to our fabulous fabric refresher below, we use a simple routine to gently refresh and deodorize our carpet with simple and natural ingredients. (Plus, we absolutely adore this shaker bottle to store it in! It makes it so easy to sprinkle onto the carpet.)

Glass & Window Cleaner
Get rid of the common “blue glass spray” that we all grew up with and start using distilled water, vinegar, and your favorite oily scent to clean all the glass and windows in your home! We use Lemongrass in ours because it smells really fresh and clean, but you can always substitute with your favorite oil.
