I know... it's been awhile since I've update my blog. While I was away, I decided to experiment with homemade cleaners for around the house. Of course, I turned to that nifty little website called Pinterest to find good cleaners. I started making my own homemade cleaners to save money and not smell the harsh chemicals from store bought cleaners. So far, I've only made two different household cleaners. A granite cleaner and a regular, 409 type cleaner. Both have done an exceptional job at keeping my house clean. I'll be making my own laundry detergent in the near future.
My granite cleaner is made from this recipe found on One Good Thing by Jillee, minus the essential oil. I haven't bought any essential oils yet, but I probably won't because I don't feel that my cleaners need it. So here's the recipe:
1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
3 drops of Dawn
Water
Every household should have these ingredients in their household already. I really love this cleaner. It leaves my granite counter tops very shiny.
My all-purpose/409 type cleaner was found on Macheesmo. There are four different recipes for homemade cleaners at that link. But I use the all purpose recipe for my sinks and toilets for the time being. It works great, but I do want to try the Bath, Sink, Tile Cleaner recipe as well. Here's the recipe for the all purpose cleaner if you don't want to click the link.
3 Tablespoons vinegar
1/2 teaspoon washing soda
1/2 teaspoon castile soap
2 Cups hot water
Cleaning my home has become more enjoyable now that I make my own cleaners. Once I get my own laundry detergent made and run a few loads of it, I'll give it a review and post the recipe here as well.
