I am a part of the MOPS (Mothers of PreSchoolers) group at my church. Yesterday we had a speaker that talked about going green and saving money. Here are some more cleaning supplies tips and recipes I got from her. I haven't tried any of them yet, but I hope to once my cleaning supplies run out.
White Vinegar - dissolved dirt, cleans soap scum, hard water deposits, absorbs odor, fabric softener, and fruit and vegetables
Baking Soda - use in place of abrasive powder cleaners, unclogs slow moving drains .... use it like comet
Rubbing Alcohol - disinfectant and glass cleaner
Lemon Juice - shines brass and copper, cleans soap scum, water deposits and drains
Hydrogen Peroxide - **careful! This will bleach things!!** cleans toilets and bathrooms, disinfectant, safe and easy for septic tanks, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-mold. It's a mild acid...same as bleach
Ok...now on to the recipes!
Furniture Polish - one cup olive oil, half cup lemon juice
Glass Cleaner - one cup alcohol, one cup water, one tablespoon vinegar
Fruit and Vegetable Cleaners - one cup vinegar, one cup water
Bathroom Cleaner - splash straight peroxide right on your sponge or cloth for cleaning bathrooms and kitchens
Stainless Steel - 100% white vinegar placed on clean cotton cloth, then wipe
Carpet Shampoo - half cup laundry detergent, one teaspoon ammonia, one tablespoon white vinegar, 4 cups hot water
Leather Cleaner -one cup white vinegar, two tablespoons olive oil. mix well and test on small area
Oven Cleaner - 5 tablespoons baking soda, 4 tablespoons white vinegar, a few drops of dish soap. make paste and leave on for 30 minutes. (you can add salt to make it more abbrasive.)
