Ms Zimmy Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 These are recipes, just not for food... Green Cleaners Link 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 cleanersMix 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 cleanerMix vinegar and salt together for a good surface cleaner. This mixture will remove grease if the vinegar is at full strength. DisinfectantsFor 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 cleanerCombine 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
