Homemade Glass Cleaner & All-Purpose Cleaner

These are the last two homemade cleaning recipes.  I will post some other homemade recipes of other things later!  Anybody know what I am going to post next???  Does anyone have any suggestions they would like to see???

Glass Cleaner:
3 Tablespoons of Rubbing Alcohol or Ammonia
1 Tablespoon of Vinegar
Purified Water

Pour 1st two ingredients into a 16oz spray bottle and fill the rest of the way with water.  Shake and spray.

All-Purpose Cleaner:
1/4 cup Vinegar
1/4 cup Baking Soda or 2 teaspoons Borax
Dish Detergent (few drops)
Purified Water

Pour all ingredients into 16oz spray bottle and fill rest of the way with water.  Shake until dissolved.

Here are some extra facts:

1. Most cleaning supplies contain Toxic and harmful chemicals that if ingested or touch the skin can cause permanent damage.  Some cleaners contain carcinogens.  These recipes DO NOT!!!

2. NEVER MIX BLEACH WITH ANY ACIDS SUCH AS AMMONIA OR VINEGAR!  IT CAUSES TOXIC AND DANGEROUS FUMES!!!

3. High Efficiency or HE washing machines require low sudsing soap because they use a lot less water.  The homemade laundry detergent recipe is perfect for this as it is extremely low sudsing-You don't have to pay extra!!

4. Vinegar added to laundry WILL NOT make your clothes smell bad.  Vinegar is a perfect softener because it dissolves soap residue (which makes clothes stiff).  It can also be put in the Downy Ball.

5. All ingredients are non-toxic and environment friendly!

6. You can add food coloring to all of these recipes to help kids tell what each solution is.

Happy Cleaning!

Till next time!
