8 homemade cleaners

homemade cleanersSHOWER CLEANER

1.5 Cups Vinegar

1.5 Cups Blue Dawn Dish soap

1 Large Spray Bottle


Pour both ingredients into the spray bottle and give it a good shake. Spray down your entire bathtub and or shower stall with the solution. Don’t forget the tile and grout or the shower doors. Leave this to soak for 15 minutes before coming to give it  a wipe down. Please ensure you rinse this thoroughly off as it does create a very slippery surface. We don’t want any accidents.

 

CARPET DEODORIZER homemade cleaners

1 Cup Baking Soda

30 Drops of Essential Oils

Combine the above ingredients in a small container. Cover your mix tightly with a lid and leave it to sit for 6-8 hours. Using either a container that has a lid with small holes or your fingers (like I do) sprinkle it on the carpet and furniture. Leave it to sit overnight – or at the very least for 20 minutes before vacuuming. The longer you leave it sit the better deodorizing job it will do.

CARPET STAIN REMOVER  homemade cleaners

¼ Cup Hydrogen Peroxide (3% Grade)

½ Cup Water

½ Teaspoon Dish soap

1 Spray Bottle

Add all 3 ingredients to a spray bottle, seal and shake it well. Soak up an excess mess before spraying this mixture onto your stained area. Allow it to sit for 2-5 minutes before gently blotting out the stain with a cloth. Repeat if necessary.

 

* DISCLAIMER * Test this solution on an inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not bleach out. I have used it on dark furniture before with no issue at all but it is good to test just to be safe.

Fill your jar with orange peels all the way up to the top. Pour your vinegar in on top making sure to cover the peels completely. Seal up the jar and mark it with the current date.

Pour your new citrus cleaning solution into a spray bottle that can be used in the kitchen to degrease as needed.

REFRIGERATOR CLEANER

1/2 Cup Baking Soda  

1 Bucket of Water

1 Old Toothbrush

Cloth

Fill a bucket with water and baking soda. Using your cloth and the mixture wipe down the inside of your fridge. Using an old toothbrush will help you get into the corners that a cloth and your hands simply cannot reach. If you have stuck on food feel free to sprinkle some of the dry baking soda directly onto it and scrub lightly for an effortless cleanup. Finally, remove all the baking soda residue with a clean, fresh water rinse.

 

KITCHEN SINK SHINER homemade cleaners

Cloth

Water

Sprinkle baking soda into your sink. With a cloth scrub it all over in a circular motion. Rinse and repeat if necessary. This will have your sink back to its sparkling and shiny self.


*OPTION * Feel free to take it a step further and rinse your baking soda down the drain with a splash of vinegar. This will work to break down any clogs you have building in your kitchen sink.
