Homemade, Natural Cleaning Supplies!

Now for the cleaning supplies! I stumbled across a TON of different ideas so if you don't like any you see here check out pinterest.com or just google natural homemade cleaning supplies.

From start to finish today it took me about an hour to mix all the products, print labels, etc. Even better, all of the ingredients (spray bottles and funnel included) cost LESS than $20 and there is enough to last forever!!

All Purpose Kitchen Cleaner

1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp dish soap (the green works kind is the best and is made from plant extracts instead of animal fats, plus it smells better)
2 tbsp vinegar
Mix and let sit. Fill remainder of bottle with warm water.
Add a few drops of essential oil to scent, optional. (I used citrus cilantro from walmart and it smells great!)

Tub and Tile Cleaner
1 2/3 c baking soda
1/2 c vegetable oil based dish soap (green works, again)
1/2 c water
2 tbs vinegar
Mix baking soda, dish soap and water. Then add vinegar. Let sit.

All Purpose Cleaner - Citrus (used to cut grease and/or soap scum...that's the citrus at work)
2 tbs lemon juice
1 c vinegar
1 c water
1/2 tsp essential oil (citrus cilantro)
1 tsp cornstarch
Mix all ingredients in bottle.

3 Ingredient All Purpose Cleaner (for use on pretty much anything)
1 c water
1 c peroxide
1/4 c lemon juice

Air Freshener
1 oz rubbing alcohol (you can use vodka or gin if you like, we just don't have alcohol in the house)
6 oz filtered water
20-40 drops essential oil of any scent you'd like

*The essential oil can be purchased at wal-mart near the craft supplies. At our wal-mart it is with the glass vases, potpourri, etc. The small bottle will be plenty and only costs $2!

*The labels can be printed with a free download from http://vinniepearce.typepad.com/right_now/2010/08/flare-friday-.html
If that link doesn't work you can find them on pinterest under printable cleaning product labels!

*The extra bottles you see in one of the pictures (the ones that look like clear ketchup bottles) are homemade, natural shampoo and conditioner! Come back soon to find the recipes for them!

I would love to hear of any other recipes you know of or stories you may have of how these worked for you!
Happy cleaning supply making!
