Make your own Cleaning Products- glass cleaner, all purpose cleaner recipes

So far I’ve written on how to make your own laundry detergent and dish soap and dishwasher detergent . Today I’m going to tell you what other cleaning products you can make yourself using a few common household items. I’ve always got these on hand, not only because making my own cleaning products saves me money, but I also feel better about using these around my family. Next time you are at the store pick up some of these:

  • Ammonia
  • White vinegar
  • Essential oil in your favorite scent: orange oil, lemon oil, or lavender
  • Borax
  • Ivory dish soap or soap flakes
  • Good quality spray bottles
  • Rubbing alcohol (large bottle)
  • Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda (find out where to get it here)
  • Glass Cleaner recipe:
    2 cups ammonia
    1/2 cup vinegar
    1 gallon of water

    This is such a simple recipe and my mother has used it for years!

    All Purpose Cleaner Recipe:

    1 tablespoon borax

    1/2 cup liquid soap

    1/2 cup white vinegar

    1 gallon hot water

    20 drops of essential oil (optional)

    Combine and pour in spray bottle

    This is great for cleaning any surface, whether it be kitchen, bathroom, our outdoors. Works great!

    Scouring Powder

    1 cup baking soda

    ΒΌ cup washing soda

    Mix together and use as you regularly would

    These are my favorite, besides the laundry detergent.

    If you decide to make these, please drop me a line to tell me how they work for you!
