Why You'll Like This

Got 15 minutes and a kitchen full of dust-fighting ingredients? Mix up this simple homemade dust spray with pantry staples and get a cleaner that keeps dust away longer than the usual stuff. Homemade dust spray can be made with common kitchen ingredients, so it is easy on the wallet, and it works.

Reports from home publications suggest that dust-repellent sprays can help dust settle more slowly, and you can potentially cut your cleaning time in half by using a dust-repellent spray rather than an ordinary surface cleaner.

Best of all, it takes only about five minutes to make with supplies you likely already have on hand. Fast. Cheap. Satisfying.

Why This Kitchen Hack Beats Store-Bought Alternatives

A typical 16-ounce bottle of commercial dust spray runs 4 to 6 dollars, while this homemade version costs under 1 dollar per batch using ingredients you likely already have. The recipe's main ingredients — water, vinegar, and olive oil — are common and inexpensive, making it a cost-effective cleaning solution.

Homemade dust cleaners are a great way to make your home smell fresh and clean without spending much money, and this cleaner eliminates toxic cleaning products and works for your whole home.

When you make your own, you know exactly what is in it, no mystery chemicals or artificial fragrances that might trigger sensitivities. You can customize the recipe by leaving out essential oils or substituting other fragrances, so it fits your preferences and what you have on hand. The formula works as a wonderful, all-natural, non-toxic alternative to store-bought products.

Done and dusted.
