How-to: Homemade Cleaning Supplies

Published by Court at 12:58 pm under How-To, Simply Green, Simply Live

I’ve been wanting to try homemade cleaning supplies for some time and have been reading up. While my hubby is skeptical that our house will smell like vinegar 24/7, I’m excited about trying this greener-cleaner approach. To start, I’m going to use vinegar, water, and baking soda to tackle things like:

  • kitchen floor
  • countertops
  • windows
  • bathroom tile and tub
  • grout
  • dishwasher & coffeemaker

My friend Ruthie was asking for updates on how my natural cleaning products work, so will let you know how they do, and also if hubby approves. I was excited to buy a HUGE bottle of distilled white vinegar at the wholesale club for $3.19 and wonder how long it will last me. I’m all for eliminating all of those plastic cleaning bottles from under the sink, and the toxins that come with them. Simplifying my life by not having to buy a different cleaner for every surface will be nice too.
