This is a recipe from a Reader's Digest book called "Homemade: A Surprisingly Easy Guide to Making Hundreds of Products You Would Otherwise Buy". It's a really awesome resource and covers everything--literally everything. Here is the link to amazon to check out the whole book:
I have been making this "All-Purpose Disinfectant Cleaner" for awhile now, and I LOVE it! I used to use tons of 409 spray and Mr. Clean, etc. but haven't bought any of those since I started using this one. Plus, I realize now just how "soapy" those other products feel and the residue they leave on everything.
I've been really happy with the way this works, feels, smells, etc.
To make it you will need:
a spray bottle
a funnel
Borax
Washing Soda
Lemon Juice
Vinegar
It's super easy--and YES, I actually make this and use it to clean both kitchen and bathroom. Here's the recipe:
 |
| 2 tsp. Borax |
 |
| 1/2 tsp. washing soda |
 |
| 2 tbsp. Lemon Juice |
 |
| 4 tbsp. white vinegar |
 | |
| 3 cups hot water |
 |
| Ta-Da! |
Shake it up to make sure all the powders have dissolved, and you're done!
Now, if you're like me, you're also going to use your fancy labelmaker to make a label so that you know what the heck is in the bottle. At my house it actually is kind of important, since I have an identical bottle containing homemade window cleaner. True story.
Happy (healthy) Cleaning!
