cleaning, multitasking


So back to saving yourself some money, Day 2. Today’s blog is about other uses for our household products, instead of buying new products.

For a fabulous glass cleaner, combine rubbing alcohol, water and ammonia or vinegar. You can polish your furniture with a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice. Kill mold with hydrogen peroxide and water. And for an all-purpose, grease-cutting cleaner, combine water, baking soda, vinegar and dish detergent. (First 30 Days)

Baking Soda – cleans, deodorizes, softens water, scours.
Soap – unscented soap in liquid form, flakes, powders or bars is biodegradable and will clean just about anything.
Lemon – one of the strongest food-acids, effective against most household bacteria.
White Vinegar – cuts grease, removes mildew, odors, some stains and wax build-up.
Isopropyl Alcohol – is an excellent disinfectant. (It has been suggested to replace this with ethanol or 100 proof alcohol in solution with water.

Cornstarch – can be used to clean windows, polish furniture, shampoo carpets and rugs.
