So we've talked about Homemade Laundry Soap and Making Your Own Foam Soap, so I thought I'd mention a few other cheap and easy ways to make your own household cleaners.
For mirrors and windows, I use the following:
1 cup rubbing alcohol
1 cup water
1 T vinegar
Mix ingredients into empty spray bottle.
That's it.
And I really like it. It doesn't streak and it cleans really well. Rubbing alcohol is a great sterilizer and vinegar disinfects and deodorizes as well as removed mildew and grease.
Speaking of grease, one great way to clean greasy areas of your home, like a stove top, is by using 1/4 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup vinegar. The soda not only deodorizes, but it works as a mild abrasive that helps when scrubbing a surface without scratching. This combination will leave a white residue, but can be wiped off with a damp cloth.
One more: Wood Polish!
Mix 1/4 cup lemon juice and a few drops of olive oil.
Apply onto wood with soft cloth.
Love using this on my piano. It makes it shine and it smells yummy too!
