Cleaning products are everywhere, which means they’re everywhere in our homes. Whether it’s the bathroom, kitchen or playroom, many of us have grown accustomed to using disinfectant sprays as part of our regular cleaning routines. While these products can do wonders for making your home clean and fresh-smelling, they can also pose serious health risks for children.
That’s why the best thing you can do is to make your own safe cleaning products that don’t contain any harmful chemicals. Here’s how:
The chemicals in Lysol and other cleaning products can be dangerous to a baby, so many of the cleaning products we use in our homes and on our children are unsafe for children.
Most household cleaning products are not safe for children. Lysol, Clorox, and Clorox wipes contain chemicals that can cause developmental problems in babies and young children. The EPA has reported that there is no safe level of exposure to certain chemicals found in these products.
Many parents choose to use Lysol or other disinfectants anyway because they believe the risks are low or because they want to be extra careful about their child’s well being. However, it is important to understand how these chemicals affect your child so you can make an informed decision about what is safest for them
The best thing to do is to have a safe disinfectant spray that you can use to clean toys, furniture and other surfaces when you know your little one will be crawling around or playing on the floor there.

Some people like to make their own cleaning products from natural ingredients, but this takes some time and effort. Also, some people don’t want to put more chemicals into their homes if they don’t have to. I recommend this easy spray because it does not require any mixing—just add water! It also works well on pet fur, so if you have pets in the house this makes things easier because now everyone’s stuff is clean without worry about toxicity issues (for humans or animals).
To make an all-natural disinfectant spray for your home that’s safe for your kids, you’ll need the following ingredients:
In order to make an all-natural disinfectant spray for your home that’s safe for your kids, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Vinegar
- Lemon juice
- Lavender oil (or whatever scent you prefer)
Mix equal parts vinegar, lemon juice and water together. Add 10 drops of lavender oil or other essential oils (I like lavender because it smells great and is also anti-fungal). Pour into a spray bottle and use whenever needed!
white vinegar
White vinegar is also a natural disinfectant. It’s safe for babies and children, pets and the environment, so you can use it to disinfect your home.
lavender oil
Lavender oil is a natural disinfectant and can be used in place of chemical-based cleaning products. You can find lavender oil in your local health food store or pharmacy.
It’s safe for babies, but do keep an eye out for allergies and make sure to use it on a small area first.
lemon juice
It’s a good idea to know whether lemon juice is safe for your baby, especially if you’re using lemon juice for cleaning purposes.
Let’s start with the basics: what is lemon juice? It’s a common fruit that comes from the citrus family of plants and trees. Lemons are known for their sour taste, but they also contain an essential oil called limonene that helps give them their powerful scent. According to some resources, this essential oil can be used as a natural cleaner or disinfectant! But before we dive into those claims too much… let’s talk about safety first!
water
Water is a solvent, which means it can dissolve chemicals. A good way to think about this is that water has the ability to break up certain chemical bonds between atoms and molecules. The chemical bond in water, called a hydrogen bond, accounts for why liquid water exists as well as why it takes so much energy to heat or cool it (compared to other liquids).
Water dissolves many types of chemicals. It will dissolve both organic and inorganic compounds—that is, those that contain carbon or other elements such as oxygen and nitrogen. Water can also dissolve ionic compounds (such as salt), which are made up of ions that carry an electrical charge
