| HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS |

 

Here are some wonderful homemade household cleaners. These work excellent and are cheaper than buying premixed solutions in the grocery store. Here are just a few of my favorite. If you are looking for anything in particular feel free to leave me a comment, I might just have a recipe for it!

Floor Cleaner:

1 cup white vinegar

1 gallon hot water

Mix until combined. Can be used on all floor surfaces except wood.

 

Wood Floor Cleaner:

1/2 cup vinegar

1 gallon water

Do not use too much vinegar per it could damage the floors. Be careful not to get the wood floors too wet.

hot water

10 drops essential oils

4 drops of dish detergent

Mix in a 16-20 oz spray bottle.
