Be DIY and save a few bucks. Here we go.
Recipe #1, Soft Scrubber-
This is easy. Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda into a bowl or bucket, add enough liquid detergent to make a texture like frosting (not too hard). Scoop the mixture onto a wet sponge, and wash the dirty surface that you made it for. This is the perfect washing the bathtub and sinks because it rinses easily and doesn’t leave grit, which always reminds me of the paste they put in your mouth at the dentist’s when they’re cleaning. Ick.
Do note: Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin to the mix and store in a sealed glass jar to keep the concoction moist.
Recipe #2, Window Cleaner-
Gather up 1/4-1/2 teaspoon liquid detergent, 3 tablespoons vinegar, 2 cups water, and dump it all into a spray bottle. Shake it up like no one’s business, and use as you would a commercial brand. The soap in this recipe is key; it removes the wax and shit from commercial cheap-o brands that you used in the past (yes, Windex qualifies as cheap-o).
Recipe #3, Oven Cleaner-
Sprinkle water over the bottom of the oven, enough that is covered, but not so much that you’ve got a half inch flood going on. Cover the grime with enough baking soda that the surface is totally albino white. Sprinkle some more water over the top. Let that shit set overnight. You can easily wipe up the grease the next morning because the grime will loosen up. When you have cleaned up the grossest shit, dab a bit of liquid detergent or soap on a sponge, and wash the remaining gunk from the oven. If this recipe doesn’t work for you it is probably because you didn’t use enough baking soda and/or water, so try that shit again.
Recipe #4, All-Purpose Spray Cleaner-
Combine 1/2 teaspoon washing soda, a dab of liquid soap, and 2 cups hot tap water and shake in a spray bottle until the washing soda has dissolved. Spray and wipe; simple enough.
Recipe #5, Furniture Polish-
Mix 1/2 teaspoon oil, such as olive (or jojoba, a liquid wax), 1/4 cup vinegar or fresh lemon juice in a glass jar. Dip a soft rag into the solution and wipe onto wood surfaces. Cover the glass jar and store indefinitely (this shit lasts like, forever; it’s great).
Also
Vinegar Deodorizer-
Keep a spray bottle filled with at minimum 5 percent vinegar in your kitchen and bathroom for cleaning. Spray the vinegar on your cutting board before going to bed at night, and don’t even rinse, let it burn those bacteria overnight. The smell of vinegar dissipates quickly (like, within a few hours). If you don’t want to let it sit around, just spray and wipe off.
And that’s it; this kit is cheap (or at least cheaper than brands at the store) and is better for you and the environment. Just one more way to save money and make money through a DIY project that has been created at Save and Make Money.
