Ingredients
  • Baking soda: provides grit for scrubbing and reacts with water, vinegar or lemon by fizzing, which speeds up cleaning times
  • Borax: disinfects, bleaches and deodorizes; very handy in laundry mixes
  • Distilled white vinegar: disinfects and breaks up dirt; choose white vinegar over apple cider or red vinegars, as these might stain surfaces
  • Hydrogen Peroxide: disinfects and bleaches
  • Lemons: cut grease; bottled lemon juice also works well, although you might need to use bit more to get the same results
  • Olive oil: picks up dirt and polishes wood; cheaper grades work well
  • Vegetable based (liquid castile) soap: non-petroleum all-purpose cleaners
  • Washing soda: stain remover, general cleaner, helps unblock pipes; should be handled with gloves due to its caustic nature. Washing soda is usually found in the laundry aisle of grocery and drug stores.
  • .

Directions
  1. Don't forget to pick up an empty spray bottle at the hardware store, and keep those old rags and used toothbrushes for wiping up and scrubbing.
