Did I miss spring cleaning time? (I hope, I hope, I hope)
We just cleaned out the last of the ashes from our wood-burning stove.
And, after this past weekend, my shoulders are sun-scorched.
I'm sooo confused!
The definition of Spring
Spring: n.noun,the five days
between the bone-chilling cold
of winter and the sweltering heat
of summer.
Got it!
Here are the recipes I use to make my own household cleaners.
For my everyday cleaner, I purchased a heavy duty spray bottle from a local restaurant store. The others are from the Dollar Store.
This has been my only glass cleaner since 1989!
Works perfectly!
DIY glass cleaner ~
2 Tbsp ammonia
1 tsp. dish detergent
1 pint rubbing alcohol
4 drops of blue food coloring (optional)
1 gallon hot water
Combine ingredients.
Fill a spray bottle & label.
Combine 1 cup water with ¼ cup white distilled vinegar,
add a few drops of blue food coloring to distinguish it as
a glass cleaner, if you wish. Fill a spray bottle & label.
DIY disinfectant cleaner ~
½ cup white distilled vinegar
2 cups hot water
10 drops tea tree oil (melaleuca oil)
1 teaspoon washing soda (optional)
Combine ingredients.
Fill spray bottle & label.
DIY degreaser ~
2 cups water
¼ cup oil based soap (Murphy's Oil Soap)
10 drops of your favorite essential oil
Mix well, fill a spray bottle & label.
to use: Shake, Spray and wipe with
a damp cloth.
And finally, my everyday cleaner...
DIY all-purpose cleaner ~
2 cups water
2 Tablespoons dish-washing liquid
Combine, fill spray bottle & label.
Use whichever dish-washing liquid
you normally use for hand washing
your dishes.
Labels.
Using my Cricut & the free Cricut Craft Room software, I made these cute labels but in the end, I just popped the letters on instead.
However, if you would rather not use ammonia, here's an alternative that works just fine.
Combine 1 cup water with ¼ cup white distilled vinegar,
add a few drops of blue food coloring to distinguish it as
a glass cleaner, if you wish. Fill a spray bottle & label.
DIY disinfectant cleaner ~
½ cup white distilled vinegar
2 cups hot water
10 drops tea tree oil (melaleuca oil)
1 teaspoon washing soda (optional)
Combine ingredients.
Fill spray bottle & label.

2 cups water
¼ cup oil based soap (Murphy's Oil Soap)
10 drops of your favorite essential oil
