DIY: Homemade Cleaners

When making homemade cleaners make sure you label each bottle so you don't get them mixed up. I am using different colored bottles and adding labels.

Degreaser/Soap Scum Remover

• 50% Dishwashing Liquid
• 50% White Vinegar

The mixture works well, but it does smell like vinegar. Strongly like vinegar! I put a few drops of essential oil in the mixture...it seemed to cut the smell a little.

Disinfectant

• 50% rubbing alcohol (65% or better)
• 50% water 

Stain Remover

• 2 parts Hydrogen Peroxide 
• 1 part Dishwashing Liquid

Use a small brush (like a toothbrush) to rub the mix into the stain and let it set before laundering. It is best to make small amounts, because hydrogen peroxide decomposes quickly.

I will be adding more homemade cleaners to the blog in the future.  I am always looking for cheap and easy ways to clean.
