Today I'm going to post my top three homemade cleaning recipes. They are cheaper, safer, and all around better than what you can buy at the store. I might have thrown some personal opinion into that last statement but here goes:
1. Laundry Detergent
6 cups Borax
4 cups baking soda
4 cups washing soda
4 cups Fels-Naptha bar soap or Zote etc.
This works great for us! My husband works in the fuel tanks or airplanes and comes home smelling to high heaven. Odor is no longer a problem. It also works out to about .04 cents a load when your average household detergent will run at about .14 cents a load assuming you don't use fabric softener at all.
I use 1/4 cup white vinegar as a natural fabric softener. Naturally cheap as well $$!
2. Fabric Deodorizer
Easiest recipe out there!1 part water
1 part CHEAP vodka
a few drops of scented oil (until the scent is noticeable)
We use either fresh linen or citrus scents. (The links contain two sites you can buy good oil from)
3. Dusting Spray
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon essential oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1-3/4 cups water
Good for everything but glass or screens. The olive oil will leave streaks.
Happy Cleaning! :)
