Homemade Cleaning Products

These are actually tried and tested by me...and I have been ultra-super impressed by how well these homemade cleaners work.

Homemade Glass Cleaner Recipe

Mix in a sprayer bottle:
  • 1 cup rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  •  
  • Furniture Polish Recipe

    Mix in a sprayer bottle:
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
Shake well and apply a small amount to a flannel cleaning rag or cleaning cloth. Spread evenly over furniture surface. Turn cloth to a dry side and polish dry.

Homemade Spray Cleaner Recipe

Mix in a sprayer bottle:
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
In the kitchen, use vinegar-and-water spray to clean countertops, lightly soiled range surfaces and backsplash areas

( The kitchen will smell a little bit like a pickle until the cleaner dries. If you can get past the vinegar smell, it really works great.  -Amber)

Baking Soda

-Baking soda's mild abrasive action and natural deodorizing properties make it a powerful replacement for harsh commercial scouring powders. Put baking soda to work in your organized home:
-Sprinkle baking soda onto a damp sponge to tackle grimy bathtub rings, scour vanities, or remove food deposits from the kitchen sink.
-For tougher grime, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the tub or sink, and allow to stand for 10 to 20 minutes. Dirt, soap scum and deposits soften and are easier to remove.
-Slow-running drains? Keep bathroom drains running freely by pouring 1/2 to 3/4 cup baking soda into the drain, and dribbling just enough hot water to wash the solution down. Let stand for 2 hours to overnight, then flush thoroughly with hot water. The deodorizing effect is an added bonus! [Do not use this method on blocked drains.]
