I have been using vinegar+dish soap+essencial oils for multi purpous cleaning for some time now. I am very happy as it saves me money for products and it is safe for children. I have recently started making my own fabric softner using hair conditioner, water and essencial oils.
What other products I can substitute with a homemade one?

Have a look at Nancy Birtwhistle. She won bake off years ago and now promotes green living. She has written a lot of books and does social media on making cleaning products and all household stuff.
