Kelly's Chaos

Works for me Wednesday

For the past year and a half, I have made my own cleaners.  At first I did it because I wanted to save money.  Then, I realized that my asthma was more "under control" using my homemade cleaners.  I make a window/glass cleaner and also an every day cleaner.  I thought that I would share the "recipies".

All Purpose Cleaner:

Mix the following ingredients right into your spray bottle:

2 T. vinegar

1 t. Borax

Hot water

A few drops of mild dish detergent (dawn or ajax cuts grease!)

First, in a 16 oz. spray bottle, mix the vinegar, borax and hot water.  Swich it around util the borax dissolves.  Add the drops of detergent and fill the rest of the bottle with water.

Window Cleaner:

1/2 t. mild dish detergent

3 T vinegar

2 cups water

Put all of these ingredients into a spray bottle.  Shake it up and it's ready!

Another good all purpose cleaner for big jobs:

1/2 cup ammonia

1/4 cup vinegar

1/4 cup baking soda

Mix ingredients with 1 gallon of warm water and use for jobs around the home. 

This works for me in my home.  Hope it works for you too!

Blessings, Kelly

I have alwasy wanted to try the homemade cleaners. I just have never messed with it before but your "recipes" look easy enough to try.
Also, Happy Anniversary. We will be celebrating #14 as well next February.
Hope you had a good 4th.

I am all about homemade cleaners! I use vinegar water as my all-purpose but never thought to add the borax. Interesting. And I have been looking for something for windows, so thanks!
