These are recipes, just not for food...

This is the type of recipes posted (there are many more). I love making my own green cleaners and if anyone knows any sites please share.

All-purpose cleaners

Mix ingredients for each recipe in a spray bottle. Use for cleaning countertops, floors, walls, carpet and upholstery.

Dissolve 4 tablespoons baking soda in one quart of warm water.

Add 1/2 cup vinegar to between 1 cup and 1 quart of warm water.

Combine 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon liquid soap and 3/4 cup warm water.

Shake to blend. For really big jobs, combine 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar, 1/4 cup liquid soap and 2 gallons of warm water in a pail and stir to blend.

For an abrasive cleaner, use baking soda or a non-chlorinated scouring powder such as Bon Ami.

Grease cleaner

Mix vinegar and salt together for a good surface cleaner. This mixture will remove grease if the vinegar is at full strength.

Disinfectants

For kitchen cutting boards and bathroom fixtures, use a spary of distilled white vinegar followed by a 3 percent peroxide spray. Wipe clean.

Rubbing alcohol also is a disinfectant. It is extremely flammable; use in a well-ventilated area far from possible sources of ignition. Wear nitrile gloves. Apply with a sponge and allow to dry.

Glass cleaner

Combine 1 quart warm water with 1/4 cup white vinegar or 2 tablespoons lemon juice (use both vinegar and lemon if you want the cleaning abilities of vinegar with the scent of lemons).

Mix ingredients and store in a spray bottle. Use as you would any glass cleaner (add a drop or two of essential oil for a pleasant scent).
