Once adding the borax and castille soap to a glass spray bottle, two cups of warm water are combined with it. After mixing these components together, the essential oils are added and the all-purpose cleaner is ready to disinfect bathrooms, kitchens, toys and much more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Cleaning Products:** The trend toward homemade cleaners that are eco-friendly and cheaper than store products presents opportunities for disruptors to create more effective and innovative solutions. - **Natural and Safe Ingredients:** As consumers become increasingly concerned with the safety of chemicals in their homes, trends toward natural and safe ingredients offer opportunities for companies to produce and sell new, safer cleaning products. - **Eco-friendly Cleaning:** Growing awareness of the negative impact of traditional cleaning products on the environment creates opportunities for companies to develop more eco-friendly cleaning solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cleaning Products:** The DIY cleaning trend and demand for natural and safe ingredients presents opportunities for innovation in the cleaning products industry. - **Environmental Sustainability:** The trend towards eco-friendly cleaning products and increasing concerns over the negative impact of traditional cleaners on the environment opens opportunities for businesses working in environmental sustainability. - **Essential Oils:** As essential oils continue to become a popular ingredient in cleaning products, the trend presents opportunities for innovation in the essential oil market for use in household cleaning. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Natural All-Purpose Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-purpose-cleaner-1.md) - [Plant-Based All-Purpose Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guests-on-earth-citrus-oasis.md) - [Essential Oil Cleaning Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essential-oil-home-cleaning.md) - [Free-From Household Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-surface-eco-cleaner.md) - [Gentle Family-Safe Disinfectants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puracy-1.md) - [Vinegar-Powered Sustainable Cleaning Formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/9-elements-foaming-dish-spray.md) - [Eco-Friendly All-Purpose Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecofriendly-allpurpose-cleaners.md) - [Plant-Based Surface Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saje-multisurface-cleaning-refill.md) - [Fragrance-Driven Household Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/element-brooklyns-all-purpose-cleaner.md)
