ALL PURPOSE CLEANER
ALL PURPOSE CLEANER
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. dawn
4 T vinegar
Mix and add enough warm water to fill sprayer
DUSTING SPRAY
2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 C. vinegar
TOILET BOWL CLEANER
1/4 C. Baking soda
1/4 C. borax
1 C. vinegar
Mix. Squirt around bowl. Let set 15-30 minutes. Wipe clean.
GRANITE CLEANER
1/2 C. rubbing alcohol
8 drops Dawn
2 C. water
Mix well. Put in sprayer. Spritz, and wipe.
DISHWASHER SOAP
1 C. borax
1/2 C. salt
1/2 C. citric acid
1/4 C. distilled white vinegar
Stir well to combine. Use 3 T. per load or 1 T. if you have soft water. Use a little in each dispenser because this takes a little longer to dissolve.
GLASS CLEANER
1/4 C. rubbing alcohol
1/4 C. white vinegar
1 T. cornstarch
2 C. warm water
Mix well. Put in sprayer and use.
SHOUT
2/3 C. Dawn
2/3 C. ammonia
6 T. baking soda
2 C. warm water
Mix well. Put in sprayer.
WEED KILLER
1 Gallon white vinegar
1/2 C. salt
Squirt of Dawn
Mix well. Put in sprayer.
SHAMPOO
1/4 C. coconut milk
1/3 C. liquid castile soap
1/2 tsp vitamin E
20 drops essential oil for scent (optional)
Mix well. Shampoo as usual. This works well as a shaving cream if dispensed from a foaming dispenser.
BUG SPRAY
2 C. Dawn
2 C. Listerine (original)
1 tsp. Cayenne pepper
1 gallon water
Mix well. Put in sprayer. I've tried this. I even watered it down because my little sprayer wouldn't handle the thickness and it works.
LIQUID HAND SOAP
8 oz. bar of soap of your choice
2 T. glycerin
1 gallon water
Dissolve grated soap over low heat or in microwave. Mix well with whip. Store in tight-fitting jars. Add to dispenser as needed.
DEODORANT
Mix equal parts vaseline (I use scented), cornstarch, and baking soda. Be sure to mix these really well because baking soda may cause a rash if you don't. There are a lot of recipes out there more complicated and you can use these in roll- ons or bar type but none work better and this is the cheapest.
MIRACLE WHIP
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp. salt
1 T. powdered sugar
1 T. lemon juice
1 T. vinegar
1 C. oil
Blend together in blender.
1 1/2 T flour OR cornstarch
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 C. boiling water
2 T. vinegar
pinch of salt.
Thicken cornstarch, mustard, vinegar, salt and boiling water. Cook until it starts to paste up. Add to other mixture while blender is running. Blend well. Store in refrigerator in pint size container.
HARD WATER REMOVER
equal parts vinegar and Dawn
