Homemade Cleaning Recipes

You can save some money by making your own home made non toxic cleaners, here are a few recipes for you to try.

All Purpose Cleaner

    1/2 Cup Borax

    1 gallon warm water OR

    1/2 cup ammonia

    1/4 cup vinegar

    2 TB Baking soda

    1 gallon warm water

Blend well and store in safe container. It can be used on floors, too.

No Rinse Wall Cleaner

    1 gallon hot water

    1 cup Household ammonia

    1/4 cup Baking soda

    1/2 cup Vinegar

Measure the hot water into the pail. Add the other ingredients and mix thoroughly. For enameled surfaces, oil based paints, ceramic tile.

Lemon Furniture Polish

    1 cup Mineral oil

    1 tsp Lemon oil

OR

    1 pt Mineral oil aka paraffin oil

    2 tsp Oil of lemon


This polish is every bit as effective as the purchased product, and it should be used sparingly to best effect. Too much polish, wax, or oil on your furniture will only trap more dust, so work harder to buff this solution off than to pour it on. Pour into the clean container of your choice. Close tightly, label and keep out of the reach of children.

To Use: If you like to spray-and-polish, store this solution in a pump-type container. If you like to rub your furniture quietly, store the solution in a squeeze-type container and apply it to an old sock that you've slipped over your hand, then rub away. In either case, use only a little bit of the polish at a time and then buff the surface with a clean cloth or sock.
